    Dear Tutor,

    Please, advise. I have taken 3 times P5 and the rates were 32, 46 and 49. Then I switched to P4 the rates were 43 and 39. This is my last exam to become ACCA affiliate.
    After taking exams, I also come out from the exam with assurance that I might pass, but in reality I fail.
    I’m indeed confused. Which one to take P4 or P5? My writing skills and mathematical skills, I think on the same level.
    I will really appreciate your advice.
    Thank you in advance,

    I am sad that you did not pass.

    However it is really impossible for me to advise between P4 and P5 (although I am surprised that you switched from P5 when you were so close to passing with 49).

    It might be worth looking at the recent P5 exams on the ACCA website in order to decide whether you think they are easier or harder for you then they were when you took them earlier.
