    I just have a doubt u know, I did p4 just few days back and I dont have the gut feeling that I will get through since I left 20m. So I will have to resit, do u think its a viable Idea to do it this September or quite some time. I have five more papers left p12345. I did p4 since I had the interest in F9. So Can u give me an idea how to approach the next exam sitting?
    Or doing p1 would be better since I will get the flow of P level papers?

    I hope that you are wrong about your chances of success.

    However, if you have failed that I think the sooner that you retake the better while you still remember what you have learned so far.

    The ACCA do recommend that you take the papers in number order, but with P4 it is not so important (although little bits of P1 and P3 can certainly be relevant).

    I may be wrong (and if I am wrong then I apologise) but I got the impression that you only started practising past questions in the last week before the exam. For all of the P papers, it is vital that you practice questions (and learn from them) over a longer period.
    I am sure that you are capable of passing P4 in September, but only if you watch all the lectures (or work through a whole Study Text) and start practicing as many questions as possible as soon as possible.

    Same is the case with me. I attempt 78%, but I am highly confident on 78%,,but unfortunately I struck in question 3 last part and so was not able to give last few minutes to those theory part which I left.
    I spend more than 1 and a half month on kit, and at least practice each question thrice, but still i wasnt able to cope question 3 (14 marks) Now i thinking to start the preparation, since i is difficult to clear p4 by attempting just 78 marks.

    So what is your question?

    (You have posted this in the Ask the Tutor Forum, and so I assume that you have a question 🙂 )

    Oh Sorry.
    I want to know what else I should do to ensure that I could tackle all questions?
    I mean that I practiced 50 questions and despite of that I couldnt cope 14 marks part, that part was from Merger Acquisition, and I was strong in this section, but could handle in paper?
