Hello friends, I'm really struggling to pass p2. I was comfortable with e2 f2 p1, p2 feels like a big challenge and not as expected difficulty.
Does anyone else feel the same? Does anyone who has past it have advice?

I found P2 was the hardest paper to pass. I used the Kaplan text and revision kit. I went through it with a fine tooth comb memorising questions, all the formulae and created my own questions. There literally are no shortcuts. I also recommend looking at the syllabus breakdown www.astranti.com/cima/management/objectivetests/syllabus/p2/ |

I passed it on my first attempt a few days ago. Very tough exam.
It's heavy on the numbers, so make sure to thoroughly memorise all the calculations and theory. You're already pressed for time due to the number of calculations, the last thing you need is to forget how they're done and waste even more.

I failed my first exam, had a resit yesterday but the exam didn't load!! I'm actually quite relieved to be honest, I didn't expect to pass but have rebooked and will keep studying.
I don't know what happened, I passed p1 easily but now I keep getting bad marks in mocks, what sort of scores are you getting in your mock exams?

I don't know what happened, I passed p1 easily but now I keep getting bad marks in mocks, what sort of scores are you getting in your mock exams? I've tried to sit twice during lockdown. Passed all my mocks, but failed both real tests by around 20 points. I'm more confused than anything, I've tried mocks from multiple providers and always do fine. In the exam I don't feel like I'm struggling at all. No idea where I'm going wrong. |

It took me a few attempts, but I passed. It's a really tough exam, you just have to stick at it and not give up!

Thank you all friends for your advice. I have tried it multiple times and last time got a worse score than before, even though I had felt confident.
Can anyone recommend the materials they used to passed the exam?

I used the kaplan book, but tried with astranti mocks and practice questions which were more helpful. Whenever I got a question wrong I read the solution, wrote the number down and tried it again the next day to make sure I was focusing on the things I got wrong.
But the most important thing was hours of practice. I did as many mock exams as I could and kept trying, even though I wanted to quit! In the end I passed with 102, so now I'm working on f2 instead. It's not as bad but still tough so just have to keep working hard.
Good luck, you can do it!
