syllabus change

Saddened to hear that you didn't clear P7 in December There are no changes to the syllabus until September 2017 so your existing material should be fine As for skipping the March session, what have you got to lose by retaking the exam in March If you should happen to fail again, you will have spent the entry fee - but that's it. And you can't pass the exam unless you're in that room working for the associateship Personally I would concentrate on improving exam technique and take the exam in March Read examiner's comments from the last 3 years Read exam technique articles from me and from 2 of the P4 marking team - we all say the same thing but they're all still worth a read And read past exam questions and answers from a revision kit by a reputable publisher Do that until 20th February and then post again for the next (and final) piece of advice

Sir .. Thanks for your prompt reply .. For me paying fees is not a matter (of course that is to some extent ) ..my main issue is matter of time ..I m mother of two small kids and I m afraid that one month is not enough for me to practice ...I can read the kit but I m weak in writing ..I need to write structured answers ...for that I need enough time ...and I feel one month is not enough although I m wanting to give it but I have other big responsibilities.. Well I have tried my best and continue to do so Thank u

I admire your spirit and I don't envy your predicament What I DO believe though is that, by reading more, you will improve your command of English and that should improve your professional writing But my original comment still holds good - you cannot pass the exam unless you attend for that exam! What have you lost - other than the money? Whatever, the choice is yours ... but I don't believe that a defeatist attitude will help your cause Get positive, believe in yourself, work on your exam technique and ... nail P7 in March!

OK - I have started as of today ....what I have decided is to read the scenario and make pointers just one word of what the issue is going on .....then read the whole answer ....and finally read the marking scheme points matching them against my own points ... I read just two questions ...with this strategy let's c what I do ... Thanks a lot

And keep those fingers crossed too!
