    Dear Gromit,

    Hello!

    I am about to take 2 professional paper in December. As you know, there is no restriction on the order to sit professional level papers. For December session, I have four choices: P1 or P5 and P3 or P6. I know the pass rates for P1-P3 are the highest compared with other p level papers. However, in term of preparation time and practice, choosing which paper will be more cost-effective (in terms of time)? Should I choose P3 instead of P1 although I am now on the way to study P1?

    Thanks a lot!

    I don’t think there is much difference between P1 and P3 in terms of preparation time, so I wouls stay with P1.

    I strongly advise that you don’t study P5 before P3.

    Dear Gromit,

    Thank you very much! I may sit P1 first.

    Have a nice day!
