    Can someone please guide me (a self study student) about how to go through this paper as this September will be my first attempt. I have not touch anything yet and I have the BPP study text and exam kit. I have also attempted P3 in June 2015 and most probably I will fail this exam (mostly due to poor time management). So, I am planning on studying P4 and at the same time practice Qs on P3 so that I can take both exams in Sept. What do you all suggest…

    work through the exam kit 2-3 times, understand what you’re actually doing rather than just learning the calculations & solutions mechanically and finally test yourself under exams conditions.

    Is it reasonable to work through the exam kit 3 times? It means that we should do 300 questions…

    You don’t!
    The syllabus only includes calculations of the price of European style options (which is using the Black Scholes formula).

    (Please do start a new thread when it is a new topic!!)
