Hi All,
I would really appreciated if you could advise me on below:
I am working 5 days per week and this is first time for me to prepare professional exam. Is it possible to prepare P3 in one month and what is the best approach?
Thank you in advance and kind regards,

I work 5 days a week and self-studied P3 in the September sitting. Started revision in August and got 70%.
– Watch EVERY OT tuition and revision letter, they are brilliant.
– Ideally purchase a revision kit from a training provider eg. Kaplan (I also purchased the complete text for tuition).
– Work through past exams and also read Examiner’s notes for each one. Gives you a real insight into what they’re after and you find the common mistakes are the same in every exam.
– I also used YouTube and watched every single P3 related lecture on there. These are also helpful.
– Look out for new technical articles on the website. There’s a chance these will be questioned in the exam.This paper is one of the most enjoyable (if that’s possible). You can apply the models to any modern day business and think how they could improve. This can help when learning a theory.
One final thing to remember going into the exam, APPLICATION is key, this is not a purely knowledge based exam. APPLY the model, do not describe it.
Good luck!

Currently i am stuck with P1 and still cannot start with preparation of P3, sometimes my head hurts when i read the answers in a revision kit due to difficult words that they use there 🙁

did you leave out the study text entirely or gave it a read? - AuthorPosts
