    Hi looking for some advice. I am signed up to take P4 in 2 weeks and am really struggling with it. Just can't get my head around it and don't know where to start with the questions. Started really studying about a month ago.

    I am considering leaving it and taking a different option in Jan. I have passed P2 and P6 so only have one option left to take.

    I work in industry so no one exam will benefit me more than another.

    Any advice appreciated.

    Thanks

    Did you attend tuition for P4? If so your tutor should be able to help with questions.

    You could always resit in March and get in another revision course for P4 in Feb for the March sitting. Use the Dec sitting as an advanced Mock in your eyes.

    Failing that you can always do P5 which is mostly an interpretation/discussion paper with only about 20% calculation.

    I would agree with Marty.

    You haven't really done too much so far so it is not a great surprise that you are struggling. Consider taking a course for March and give it a good go. No guarantee that you would find another Option Paper any easier.

    Good luck and hopefully you shock yourself in 2 weeks. :D:D

    Thanks for the replies. I've been doing 2.5/3 hours a day on this, as much as any other exam I've passed but think it may not be for me.

    I've taken all the lectures aswell as my own study the last month but it terrifies me!
