    I didn’t like Kaplan. I don’t find the study text contains enough information for me to understand the topic. It doesn’t explain things properly and causes confusion. Furthermore, it is not helping to build connections between the different chapters it contains.

    I have studied with BPP textbook before for P1, although, the text repeats a lot of previous chapter materials but you see the links between the different topics in the syllabus.

    There are also so many typos in the Kaplan textbook that made it seem very unprofessional.

    Hey pal

    heed my advise, don’t waste your time pouring the textbooks or whatever. This P3 is about how well you can understand, interpret and devise a solution at a quickest mode…..

    .

    Eg Jun2013, Section A was about the health care, 2 pages of great grand fathers stories to read absorb and understand. It is asking about the mistakes on its software development. I had a difficult time understanding the requirements and passage simply do not know what to do ……… Fortunately Section B questions weren’t disaster eventually I didn’t fail horribly.

    Post Implementation Review
    Please spend time to read and understand all diet of the past exam questions (2013-2011) as well the requirements. If you can understand the requirement , you would probably know what the case is about….. when start writing, you would know what to write.

    In Dec 2014 exam when invigilator announce the start of reading time, turn to page 2 requirements 1a) Strategic Position, OH, I know that STRA position require the SWOTS to answer the questions, I can start digging the relevant details……..

    I felt that, the answers does not need to spell out everything from the text.

    JUST YOUR OWN ANALYSIS YOUR OWN WORDS YOUR OWN UNDERSTANDING

    My friend adopted the above strategies and eventually he pass!!
