Hi,
Just need some clarification on the above - I have read that P5 is changing for 2013 June exam - does this apply to the syllabus/exam or both? If the syallabus is changing what are the changes? Do I need to get new books? I have read through the forum and can not seem to find a definitive answer.
Thanks.
Ask the Tutor ACCA APM
P5 – Exam 2013 – Changes
13y ago#1The only thing that is changing is that the format of the paper will be a 50 mark case study in Part A then 2 from 3 questions at 25 marks each in Part B.
No changes of significance to the syllabus content.
Thanks so much for the reply - the books I have at present are for 2010/2011 (I have been sick the last 18 mts so only getting back to it now) would I be better getting new books or are they ok to use do you think?
13y ago#3I can't quite remember when the syllabus changed, but P5 now contains Quality. This was moved from P3 to P5 so if you still have your P3 books you can use those to read up on quality without having to buy new books.
i think format is changing after june exams ... 50 mark structured question wil be in dec 2013 ...
make me correct if im wrong
13y ago#5No, the change is from June 2013. You can check this on the ACCA website: accaglobal.com, students, P5 syllabus and study guide.
May i know who is the tutor for P5 for the open tuition free online lectures?
thank you xx
I have the 2012 P5 book will this suffice - also will there be notes on the new area for Quality on Open Tuition? If so could you please let me know when these will be available. Many Thanks
13y ago#8The 2012 P5 book is fine.
Quality is covered in Chapter 17 of our notes.
13y ago#9section A is mainly computational and....
Mainly computational, does it mean that it is like from S.Johnson's type of past year exam questions
13y ago#10It means it will be like the ACCA's pilot paper, available from their P5 section of their site.
