Hi, I am so stressed about the P6 exam next week. I feel like I have been studying hard (I have spent a lot of time going over my notes). But the syllabus is too big as soon as I learn something I forget the thing I learnt before this. I'm so desperate to pass and only have a week left and work to juggle. How do I pass this one?

Absolutely horrendous! This is will be my 7th attempt at this paper! All the knowledge is somewhere there but for some odd reason I bottle it when it comes to tackling the exam questions.

Don't worry, even with five days to go until the exam - you can fit a hell of a lot of question practice in in that time. Here's what is currently working for me. 1. There's a section in the beginning of the P&R kit titled 'Revision P6'. It has all the core topics in bold - it's a great starting point in terms of a check list. 2. Question practice, question practice, question practice. With each completed question, there'll be something in there that you wouldn't have done before, it'll all help build confidence for Thursday morning. 3. With your notes - remember anything extra you learn now still needs to be practiced in the form of an exam-style question. Learning benefit in kind notes is great, but the bulk of the marks in this style of question will be for comparing and contrasting remuneration packages in terms of tax paid by both the e'er and e'ee. 4. Question practice. 5. Question practice. For every three questions you complete - try one in full (with formatting to get used to winning your 4 marks) and two in note-form. You'll fly through questions, and cover a vast part of the syllabus that way. Good luck!
