    P5 is a good option to choose with P3 as for this sitting the course overlaps and you will be covering some of the same material in both

    I agree with aadzer, you will find a fair amount of overlap between P3 and P5.

    P5 = F5 + P3 + (a lil bit of inv apraisal of) F9

    As long as you didn’t hate the theoretical aspects of F5, you ‘ll find it repeated here. P5 moves drastically away from variances et al to evalating advantages and disadvantages of systems and there’s also emphasis on human behaviour in organisations; it’s a relatively interesting course. You certainly won’t pass this paper if you like not theory. An exam question in the past has asked how to evaluate . .. Using porter’s 5 forces. Just use calculations to support your application of the model.
