First think inside the box, then outside the box
P3.5 is all about business and common sense
First think inside the box: attempt to relate scenario issues to theories and models found in the textbooks; you will score a low mark for merely citation; you need to explain a little bit with reference to the present question.
However, textbooks(e.g.FTC, AT, BBP) only outlines various theories and model with simple applications; examiner's answer keys like Q1,June 2005 are more comprehensive and much more in depth(similar to MBA level, I am taking MBA in Fudan University), you will disappointed if you attempt to locate the answer for textbooks. What to do then?
Then think outside the box: assume you are the external consultant or a management personnel inside the company running the business, what are you going to manage dilenma & resistance for integrating two organization with dis-similar culture? How to improve CRM by better understanding value chain and the system? what are the synergies for M&A? etc. Work experience may help you find the answers, or reading articles and news paper will get you some hints.
A life story from Mr.KS Guna, P3.5 & P3.7 lecturer FTMS, Singapore:
There was one manager who took P3.5, he never attended any class and scaned through the textbook once; then read a few past papers; he did not use any models but by writing out his own management experience, then passed P3.5, P3.6 and P3.7 in the first attempt.
Finally examiner's answer keys are prepared for three months; you only have three hours and so not expected to produce such excellent solution to pass the exam!
Cheers!
