I could have been easily one of the youngest CIMA qualified when I finished my Foundation-A back in 1977 I tried the Professional Stage 3 exam countless time without ever completing the syllabus fully
Now I am 63 this is the first time ever I have completed the whole of the E3 paper in 2 months this is what Covid has done to me charged me with ++++++
Pure desire, dedication, and drive that I must complete the course work I worked several days from 10 pm to 3 am
I am now ready to book for my exam after 15 years
So the tip is I killed the distraction monkey which was jumping in my head for many many years

I really love Astranti study materials, reading the texts felt like a person talking to you in person. It explains the concept very well with live examples. Booked my exam for next week. I know I'll ace it this time.

Break the syllabus down and learn it bit by bit. Set targets for completing each bit but don’t stress yourself out if you miss a target just rereview your plan. I’m on my final Objective test the onto case study. |

What materials have you used for E3 so far? I found it a challenge to pass any strategic exam until I sat a course. I’d also say take your time and ensure you’re strong on everything. Don’t sit the exam with any gaps in knowledge. |

Just passed my E2 exam, starting P2 now. Few tips for anyone else taking it:
-Read the questions multiple times. Most questions are easy so they try to trip you up with complicated wording.
-Read the answers multiple times. As above, a lot of questions have answers which look similar but mean very different things.
-Focus more on theory than time. There aren't many long calculations so you have more time than you might expect.

Quick question about the p1 exam, a lot of questions in my mocks refer to tables but I'm wondering if these are actually provided during the exam?

Just took and passed F1.
I was surprised how much of the obscure syllabus areas came up which wasn't covered by kaplans mock exams. Make sure you are up to speed on every area. Areas that came up repeatedly were adjusting and non adjusting events, disposal of non current assets, and finding balancing figures for cash flow statements.
Nothing about the ethical code came up.
