Dear Mr Gromit,
I am in a bit of catch here, i was supposed to get my study leave around 1.5 weeks back but my manager got sick n i am not allowed to go on leave till he comes back 🙂
I havent covered much syllabus of P3 till now, i am panicking now cause i though it would able to go through Kaplan text n kit in 5 week period. But i only will have around 3 weeks. and got 2 papers to cover (p3 n p5) (i am resitting p5, by the end of this week be done with P5 text)
What according to you will be the best use of these 3 weeks to maximize my chances of passing P3?
IF i cover OT notes , lecturs will it be sufficient ?
Should i give prefrence to Past exam papers or cover the most relevant exam style question from kit after covering each topic?
Mr Gromit you could could really save me for a disaster . So please suggest what should i do.
May 23, 2012 at 10:00 am #98032Too late for Kaplan. Use the OT notes and lectures. Also look at the revision lectures that talk you through questions.
Make sure you look at the questions and answers for the exams of: June 2011, December 2010, June 2010, December 2009. Any question on ‘quality’ in those exams is no longer on the syllabus.
Good luck!
Gromit

Would you say there are certain topics that are more important than others or is it a case of study everything?
Thanks, Brian
May 23, 2012 at 5:23 pm #98034Q1 always seems to start with strategic appraisal – SWOT, PESTEL, 5 forces, generic strategies, and then usually advising on what should be done.
The rest is all over the syllabus.
If you are short of time the best I can advise is to follow our tips.
