Hello,

Please can someone give me some advice on how to get through this P6 UK variant exam in June. I understand everything i read and get the practice questions correct but after a week I seem to forget all the facts.. I am using Kaplan text book. Can’t imagine being able to retain suffucient knowledge to pass.

I would really appreciate your help!

The approach I used was to split the syllabus from kaplan into the 5 major taxes, capital gains, inheritance tax, income, corporation and VAT with small other areas too.
In each area, there were some basics from F6 which I somewhat recapped and then started to take notes for the P6 knowledge, such as for IHT/CGT, reliefs such as BPR and APR.
However, the most important factor was to spend time practising and understand questions as once you have gone through the knowledge it is easy to think you know how to apply it but there are so many different ways things can be tested, that getting as much practice as possible is key.

The idea being there is 3-5 chapters for each of these areas and a fair amount is recapped from F6. Therefore, once you have read the textbook, practice the small question TYU and the ones from the
Last chapter and then by then your knowledge will be build and then look at exam standard questions only when you have a solid grasp of an area.
This is a tough exam but there are areas that are easier than others.
