    Looking at the pass rates for all exams P5 seems to be the lowest on many occasions, I believe it was 29% in December. I am currently studying for this exam and going to attempt it for the first time in June and I am in the process of reading the study text. I was surprised how simple the syllabus was, especially after how difficult I thought P2 was.

    Could someone explain why people are finding it so difficult to pass this exam. I am assuming it may be hard marking because it is one of the last exams or maybe the questions are set very difficult or confusing. Any opinions would be very helpful.

    Thanks.

    BPP text and open tuition for study. I find the syllabus quite long but there’s nothing too complicated about it.
