Sir, I’m in a big dilemma about whether i should give F5 exam on september sitting or december sitting. I had attempted this paper once but failed. I feel like i can’t pass this paper within 3 months because F5 requires lots of practice and the concept has to be crystal clear. I have the old revision kit upto june 2018. Is it okay if i just use this revision kit for 2019 exam sitting. I can’t make up my mind about when i should give my exam . My parents are pressurising me to write within 3 months but deep inside i feel like i can’t cover enough within 3 months . MCQ’s are just fine for me but the writing part is the most challenging part for me that’s why i’m taking 6 months . What do you say ? I’m really confused.
Will I just focus on some important topics like budgeting , variance and Performance management within short time .. I need some advice as I’m really struggling with this paper and at the same time there is a lot of pressure to write this exam within 3 months..June 10, 2019 at 11:45 am #520086It is hard for me to advise you because I do not know how much time you have available for studying.
It is OK to use the Revision Kit that you have – the syllabus changes are small and do not involve any news calculations.
It is dangerous just to concentrate just on ‘important topics’ because everything is likely to be tested.
Have you watched my free lectures? They are a complete free course for Paper PM and cover everything needed to be able to pass the exam well.
June 24, 2019 at 5:22 pm #521228Respected Sir,
I’m planning to attempt PM for this September. I’ve attempted this exam once before in last December but unfortunately I failed by 38.
Now I’ve 2 months left for the exam.
I can study 5 hours a day max.
I need ur advice that Should I go for sept attempt?
I’ve BPP text book and exam kits by bpp and kaplan both.
I didn’t study PM anyday after December.
What would u suggest me?June 25, 2019 at 7:44 am #521265I would suggest that you watch all of our free lectures – they are a complete free course for Paper PM and cover everything needed to be able to pass the exam well.
When you are confident on all of the topics, you should then attempt every question in your Revision Kits, and only look at the answers after attempting the questions yourself (and then learn from your mistakes).
If anything is not clear from either the lectures or from questions in your Kits, then ask in this forum and I will explain.
