Dear Sir,
I have attempted P3 exams several times now (last sitting is Sept 2016) and I still think I will fail this exam due to poor exam technique/approach. I am now thinking of moving to the option papers (specifically P5 – requirement from my current employer) instead of continuing to struggle with P3. Will it be a wiser decision? If yes, what will be the best approach to pass this paper first time?
Thank you
The pass rate for P3 is about 50%, but only around 30% for P5. My advice would be to stick with P3.
If you intend to study P5, the approach is the same as with all papers: learn the theory and practise questions. Carefully analyse what is said in the model answer to see how it relates to the question requirements and the information in the question.
Thank you for your advice.
