    I wrote P2 in June and passed.I did only one course as I work long hours sometimes and dont have much time to study.I wanted to register for P1 and P3 for December so that I can get over the essential level this year.How does the combined quantity of work compare to P2 ?

    P1 syllabus is not huge compared to other P level papers.
    However, I would say P3 is very heavy in terms of content. (Many models to remember although exam is largely application based).

    So if you take P1 and P3, I would feel the workload will be more than P2.

    It’s quite similar to the work in P2. And also could you share your tips on achieving success in P2 exam?

    P1 is quite easy to work on. You can easily clear this subject with self study. Theoretically both are same papers But P3 requires lot of practice application of different models. So depending on your study pattern P1 is easy but make sure it can not be passed without practice It has four areas you need to grip on but P3 totally different. I personally took classes for P3 but P1 was prepared on self study. As compared to P2 it has nothing similar. Only 1% calculation is required if examiner gives any table or figures. The non financial explanations are need to demonstrate of the financial figures given in the scenario.
