    Dear Mike,

    I failed P7 again probably 5th or 6th time @ 47, I am really not sure what to do as Dec 2017 will be my last attempt after that I have to sit for two optional papers (seven year rule).

    Please advise what must I do and where am I going wrong as I am really desperate and depressed after receiving the results last night.

    Also, how come students who attempted 85% of the exam passed and I didn’t when I attempted around 92% is it pure luck and or markers mood / discretion?

    I will be really grateful if you can help me out.

    Regards
    Usama

    Try this:

    Read my article on exam technique (towards the bottom of the P7 home page)

    Read the article on exam technique by a member of the P3 marking team “From a marker’s perspective” (towards the bottom of the P7 home page)

    Read the examiner’s report from the last couple of exams

    Read the last 10 technical articles (you’ll find the link towards the bottom of the P7 home page)

    Get hold of a revision kit / exam kit from a reputable publisher and READ, READ, READ

    Over and over again, question, answer, question, answer, question, ans… until you are totally disheartened and sickened by the sight of a P7 revision kit

    And then read it again

    Pay great attention to the verbs and the specific requirements and how the printed solution has attacked those requirements

    And then, somewhere around November 20, post again and I’ll give you the second (and final) instalment of advice on how to prepare for the P7 exam in December

    Meanwhile, whenever you come across something that you don’t understand, post again on this forum and I shall get back to you

    OK?
