hello ,
well this is my first time taking option papers inthis June 2012 exam.
i need your opinion regarding whether to take P4or P5 since i heard that for these past 2 or 3 exam sitting the passing ratefor P5 is lower than P4. Please help me choosing the right paper to sit!
The reason that P5 has had a lower pass rate in the last few exams is that there is a new examiner and he changed the style a bit – there is much more writing than there used to be. P5 needs the same techniques as F5, but much more writing about management (and a lot of it is similar to P3).
P4 is more arithmetic but is very much like a harder version of F9.
Best is to look at the last few real exams (from the ACCA website) and see which looks easier / more interesting for you – obviously everyone is different
