    I have failed P5 again in June 2016 exam which was my third attempt. As it is my last paper I am very frustrated and not sure if I should try it again or choose a different paper. English is not my first language hence it is very hard to inprove my writing skill with 1 month and half. Another bad thing is I have lost interest in P5 and I don’t know how many times I have to try again to pass it. Therefore I am thinking if I should take P4 instead. I checked the syllabus of P4 and maybe the fresh knowledge make it more interesting than P5. But if I change to P4, would it be possible to self study it and take the September exam or shall I wait for the December exam. Please help me!!! thank you

    Although P4 does have less writing and more calculations than P5, it is a difficult exam.
    If you do decide to switch then I think you would be better taking it in December in order to have enough time to study for it properly.

    It is possible to self study it, but do make sure you buy a Revision Kit from one of the ACCA approved publishers, because question practice is vital.
