I dont think p3 have key area, as all is important but need to know keyword for every model, such as external env=pestel, penetrating into new country = porter diamond, competitive env=porter 5 forces and etc
That my opinion, hope others can help sharing tips for p3

Taking p3 too.
Lecturer keeps saying to list down as many points as you can and don't focus on explaining the points so much. True?

Anyone taking the exam in KDU? Does exam centre make any difference in how your exams are marked?
Getting nervous...

This is helpful. Thank you. tho they've done away with the acca card I believe. Website says only need National ID for verification. My heart skipped a beat there. Lol.

Eh can we bring highlighters?
Doesn't specify on docket.

Really? The invigilator checked my acca card. Sorry I joined ACCA way back so I wasn't aware its not needed anymore.

You can bring any stationary into the hall. But I suggest not using liquid paper because the script is scanned. Also I generally don't use rulers in exam to draw lines because its time consuming. Highlighters would also not be picked up by the scanner if I'm not wrong.

Just find it easier in terms of reading the question paper and highlighting the case. Good to know that any stationery is allowed in.

And yeah apparently registration cards stopped after July 2011.. Just googled. Lol. Someone correct me if I'm wrong... But I didn't receive any notification or read anywhere about d card when I registered in July this yr heheh

Nervous.

Finished my P3 exam and just back from Sunway Uni......
Anyway.....all the questions are doable and lots of info have been offered.

Q1 was the "copy and paste" questions from the past year exam - Organic growth, Acquisition and Strategic Alliances+Acquisition with Suitability,Feasibility and acceptability + Diamond.

Q2 was Time Series Analysis, Least Square Regression + importance of Budgeting

Q4 was 4Is from 6I + Marketing mix (But i answer by applying by common sense XDD)
Anyway.....time management is still my weakness and this problem still remain unsolved until today T.T
But I feel my quality of answers were quite nice although missing some marks in every question because of reaching time budget that i sat.

Especially for Q2......i have to recalculate the Time series table and regression table, and evaluate the appropriateness, it is causing significant time allocated to analysis and the easy justification the importance of budgeting i have to leave it blank ----10 marks lost!!!
Hopefully, 70% completion still allow me to pass!!!!

Time mgt was also my problem.. I use the 15 mins reading time plus more juz to read qA. And almost 2 hours I used to answer qA. Somehow by magic I managed to finish q3 and q4 within one hour although the last 10 pt mark I did was very messy n not thought out well.
But overall.. Thought this p3 paper was very ok too. when I saw q2 I immediately skipped bc I didn't cover forecasting or regression at all.
