    Hi guys
    Which subject would you all recommend needs actual college lectures? P1 or p3? I want to do one with full time classes and the other with self-study.
    Would really appreciate your advice ?
    Thanks!

    I did both self study. But if you really feel you want to go for a class I would choose P3.
    P3 is not as easy as it looks although very interesting.

    P1 you can leave for self study. Might seem boring for you to study.

    Thanks very much! I’m (obviously lol) new to the Professional level so do you think that doing P1 on my own would put me at a GREAT disadvantage?

    I passed p1 just listening to the open tuition lectures and looking at past exams first time in five days -I wouldn’t recommend that but I don’t think self study for p1 is a disadvantage as the lectures are great. I did have a bpp revulsion book but found it too boring I couldn’t concentrate -I prefer listening to mikes lectures.
    I’m going to be doing p3 in June as I want to give myself more than five days next time, the pressure was awful.
