Hello Gromit and hope you are fine.
Would you please ask my following question. (And thank you in advance)…
I have to seat for Paper F8 (this is the only paper that is remained from my F level). I am planning to seat (maybe) for 3 papers in June 2015. So I should select TWO papers from P1,P2 and P3.
I like numerical papers more than theoretical papers. It seems P1 and P3 are completely theoretical. On the other side, it is said that only about 35% of P2 exams are calculations and the other is again theoretical!
If my situation is important for the answer, I should tell I do self-study and I have passed F1,F2,F3,F4,F6,F7 by now and seated for F5 and F9 this session (I passed all of the previous papers at the first attempt and I think I will pass Dec 2014 exams too) and maybe I can claim the hardest paper for me so far was Paper F4 (which seems to me highly theoretical)! And sometimes I think when I have such a problem with paper F4 so how should I deal will other theoretical papers which seems to harder like F8 or P papers!
Now would you please tell me YOUR recommended paper combination and approach?
Many Thanks
Kind RegardsCongratulations on your progress so far.
I suggest F8, P1 and P2. You can’t avoid the theoretical papers and at least this gives you some calculations in P2.
To deal with the theoretical papers, apart from knowing the facts, it remains important for you to look at lots of past exam papers. This syllabus started in Dec 2007, so there are lots available and even in theoretical papers based on scenarios, although the scenarios will differ, the points being examined become repetitive at some point and will usually have been examined somewhere i the paper’s history.
