    Is this attainable with self study? Anyone have experience at doing this on your own, while working?

    Totally doable. I took a class and missed it half the time cuz it was so boring. Practice exam questions for 2 days and passed with 58%.

    i went to all the classes. It is doable on your own but I think it would be beneficial for you to do a revision class. Even though JaneeMack has said they missed half the classes they still went to the other half and was picking up bits and pieces of information. I thought it was no harm week in week out doing practice questions in class and just making sure you keep up to date.
    Just because JanneMAck managed to get 58% with only doing 2days revision doesnt mean everyone will especially if you are doing 2 subjects. On its own you will will have lots of time.

    Yeah , planning on doing it on its own. got my 9 exemptions and planned to leave going back studying untill Jan, partly due to the amount of exemptions I have to pay for. I'll do 2 in Jan. Just thinking now, it might be no harm having a go at one. Even if I fail I'll be accustomed with the subject.

    no harm in giving 1 a go anyway. P1 would be a good one to ease your way into the P's. There is a lot of work required. be careful of some comments people make especially about P1. Yes it probably is the easiest of the P's but it is still a P paper and requires a bit of work. The pass rates are the same level as P2 and P3!
