P6 (UK) Finance Act 14 till June 2016? + any syllabus changes?

Hi all,

I am going to sit P6 for the first time in December 2015. I remember when i did F6, I was advised to sit the June sitting as I would get 2 opportunities with the same Finance Act in case I failed the first time. However, I read on the ACCA website:

“ACCA will extend the examinable legislation which applies to the exam year 1 April 2015 to 31 March 2016 for one further exam session to include June 2016. As such exams in June 2016 will examine Finance Act 2014. This change to examinable legislation for June 2016 will apply to papers FTX UK, F6 UK and P6 UK”

Does this mean we get an extra 2 attempts with Finance Act 14? (as there are now four exam sessions per year we get March and June extra to attempt)

Also I wanted to know if there are any syllabus changes from June 15 to December 15?

Thanks,
H
