    Dear sir,

    I’ve recently started to study for my final paper P4 and it will be my first attempt. I have actually attended one class taught by a freelancer but I found him incapable. Currently, I am self studying via bpp books but have only covered couple of chapters and I work full time.
    So, i just wonder, whether it is possible to cover the whole syllabus and attempt the revision kit via self study prior to exam or should I postpone my sitting until june 2013 and find a local affordable college. Please shed some light as to the best strategy

    fyi, the June 2013 exam format will change significantly. Whether if you still decide to study on your own, you may like to follow the P4 examiner, Shishir Malde’s advice on good study habits here.

    Angryhamtoro is correct about the exam format changing for June 2013 (and a few syllabus changes but nothing major).
    There is no reason why you should not be able to self study and take the exam this December – provided that you are prepared to study hard!
