    Hi there, P3 has a lot of knowledge stuff, which is actually useless to rote learn, as this needs to get applied to the scenario. Therefore as I understand rote learning facts, definitions, advantages, disadvantages etc. will be a waste of time.
    Can you tell me, if I work through the whole exam kit (BPP), and also do a few mock exams (BPP, Kaplan, First Intuition). Would this be enough to guarantee a pass?

    As said in answer to your other post, you need to be familiar with the models and you need to work through past questions in particular (Dec 2007 onwards). That will give you a good basis for the exam.

    Thanks for the answer. Last question. I have noticed that the BPP exam kit contains mostly all the latest exams (i.e. Dec 07 onwards). I have recently purchased Kaplan & Get through Guides exam kits and noticed that they (especially GTG) contain a lot of old syllabus (Paper 3.5) questions. Would you say they are vital to go through? (do they increase chances of passing, or will BPP’s exam kit suffice), as I am pushed for time and when doing these extra questions, the work load becomes a bit overwhelmed.

    Thanks again for the assistance.

    I would concentrate on the P3 questions and not worry about 3.5.
