    Hi @susan88, pardon me for offering my personal opinion.

    I have a junior who was also worried to take P5 because it used to have the lowest world average pass rate. (No doubt the shock of a change in new examiner and exam format took students by surprise.)

    My response was, don’t let numbers scare you. The world pass rate is just adding up all the high-and-low performing countries’ passing rates and converting it into a mean. So the mean can be relatively low. Being specific always help – have you looked at your country’s pass rate? Go in deeper – have you checked out your college/uni’s pass rate? Don’t be surprised if it’s higher than the world pass rate. On a plus factor, P5 pass rate has improved 21% from 29 in Dec 2011 to 35 in June 2012.

    Perhaps a take-home lesson would be – believe in yourself. If you perceive something bad will happen to you, it WILL happen because you let fear take control of you. Take control of fear, by studying really hard & smart.

    OpenTuition has great lecture videos, tutor Gromit is very helpful, friends to have study groups together, revise PYQ lots of times, read every page in your text book, and analyse the Examiner’s Reports. You have all the facilities and guidance in your arsenal, now all you need left – is faith in yourself.
