Hi all
just after some advice… is p5 and p7 ok to do together or a lot? I work full time but I am well disciplined.
Thanks

February 10, 2015 at 11:01 am #227588maybe write one in june then one in september
February 10, 2015 at 12:17 pm #227594Hi, I’m going to attempt both P5 and P7 in June as well, so I’d say if you think you’ve got the discipline to put the hours in for both, then go for it.
Probably an idea to start revising now if you’re going to go for both – buy the BPP question book and start plowing through as many questions as possible.
February 10, 2015 at 12:28 pm #227602These were my two options.
Of all the options these two have the least “knowledge” requirement. However, they also have the worst pass rates as well!
There is no overlap to these two papers. At a push, there is a chance in P7 that you have to look at Business risks and you do need to consider risk in P5. That is about it.
Both have the most written content so if English is not your first language you may have some problems.
P7 examiner is very clear in requirements. Covers all the main areas and it is a case of learning the correct techniques. Once you have mastered that (I did not think it was that hard) it is just a case of spotting the requirements within the scenario and applying those techniques.
P5 examiner is very unclear in requirements. Covers obscure areas of the syllabus and likes to try and trip you up. The hardest part of the exam is not learning the models and how to apply them but understanding exactly what the examiner is asking for.
