Hi hope all of you are fine and congratulations to all of those who cleared their P3 Exam.
Would really appreciate if those of you who have taken P3 exam in this attempt could give an estimate of the time required (number of hours) for the completion of course and revision ( if possible please give separate figures for course completion and revision).
(Why I requested for the number of hours is because every body has different number of hours available per week to study a specific subject)
Your technique for the covering the P3 course and revision and any other tips that you think could contribute to success in P3.
Regarding P3 course – start as early as you can. Passed 1st time via this method (vary to suit): Look at the total no. of Open tuition podcasts relating to course. Listen to ONE (personally, used pause and take notes as going along – type as listen mode). Time the process. Calculate how long it will then take to listen and note-take all lectures. After each topic, refer to eg Kaplan Exam kit + attempt questions (bullet point style answers/check recommended answers to see if tally). I listened to all lectures periodically yet asap over poss 3 weeks (4 max). Then start exam kit ASAP and each week do as many questions as poss. Again, depending on how quickly you can move through and how confident you are, determines the total time consumed with P3. Think I had all questions tackled by say Oct/Nov and then focussed on other subjects. Leave your handling of the longer Q1 til end of course (even one day/or w/e enough). Passed with 61% this way and first time. PS: Best of luck. Exam Q exposure is key following (electronic/typed/written note taking). The exam is challenging for time mgt but again, good practice is key and the OpenTuition lectures cover everything you need to know and to be frank, are a God send! Best of luck. 🙂
thanks for the tips 🙂
how much time did you gave to P3 per week in those 3-4 weeks ?
Would have done about an hour a day but practically every day and until all online lectures were noted. Then an hour to max 1.5 hours a day to dedicate to attempting questions. Again, was finished up with this very quickly and dedicated time to other harder subjects. Attack it early so u’ve time to juggle other subjects (as gather it’s a tactical approach you’re after). A couple of weeks before the exam, re-visit your notes (even 20/30 mins a day) to reinforce.
just wanted to check if i have the time available for prep revision and practice for 4 subjects.
thats why i wanted some kind of idea for the time required for each of P1,P2,P3 and P5 so that i can decide if it doable in the time available.
