Hi otterj, I have sat both P4 and P5. P4 is very interesting but there is a lot in the course and some aspects can be quite difficult. If number crunching is your thing then go for P4.

I thought P5 was actually quite easy and I think a reason for this is because I sat it straight after P3. If you did well in P3, I would highly recommend doing P5 as it is pretty much regurgitating the theory from P3. But note that there isn't all that many calculations involved in this paper.

I found while the material in P5 was interesting and fairly easily to learn ... The application in the exam questions was by far the most difficult of the P's. I did P6 so can't comment on the other options. I do think it's important to pick a subject you find interesting or can apply to your role. Best of luck.

Agree with the above on p5, material was good but the paper can be awful. Not much info in the scenarios and badly worded questions. I had a bad teacher though, probably much more doable with a good teacher.

I found p7 fine, had done really well in f8 and p2 so helped a lot. You'll know yourself how you did in your other papers and where your strengths lie.

I'll know more January 18th anyway
