hello everyone,
well this is my first time taking option papers in this june 2012 exam.
i need your opinion regarding whether to take P4 or P5 since i heard that for these past 2 or 3 exam sitting the passing rate for P5 is lower than P4. Please help me choosing the right paper to sit! im in dilemmaaaaa!February 6, 2012 at 11:08 pm #92536hi all,
this is my exact dilemma what do i pick? P4 or P5? I hated doing F9 and i dont want anything related to f9 again… ever!
February 7, 2012 at 8:15 am #92537The reason that P5 has had a lower pass rate in the last few exams is that there is a new examiner and he changed the style a bit – there is much more writing than there used to be. P5 needs the same techniques as F5, but much more writing about management (and a lot of it is similar to P3).
P4 is more arithmetic but is very much like a harder version of F9.
Best is to look at the last few real exams (from the ACCA website) and see which looks easier / more interesting for you – obviously everyone is different 🙂February 13, 2012 at 4:15 pm #92538Hi
Can someone please advise if it is a good idea to do F9 Financial Mgt and P4 Advanced FM together? By doing this combination make it easier to study P4 or harder?
ThanksFebruary 13, 2012 at 5:37 pm #92539You cannot do this unless you have already passed some of the P1, P2 and P3 papers.
You have to have passed (or be attempting) the compulsory P papers before you can take the choice papers.
(Otherwise it would be quite a good idea 🙂 ) - AuthorPosts
