    Hi All,

    I just wanted some advise about the order to do the professional papers P1-5. I have seen other answers for similar questions but just wanted to double check. I have recently been offered a role within financial management which is why i chose to do P4 and P5. I hope to start off with P1 in June 2014 (already started revising by myself) and wanted to hopefully complete all my exams within 2 years, which means maybe sitting some exams together (maximum of two together). Please can you help me out and tell me which exams would be good to do together. Thanks

    Well, in theory you cannot attempt P4 and / or P5 until you have passed P1, P2 and P3.

    However, it IS possible! But it’s also expensive 🙁

    For example, if you entered P1, P2, P3 and P4 in one sitting, but only turned up for P4 and passed it, then you keep that pass.

    Next session you can do the same again – P1, P2, P3 and P5 but don’t turn up for the first three!

    That then leaves you with just the core papers to attempt and (hopefully) pass

    Hope that helps

    Could be argued that such a deliberate attempt to cirumvent the exam system is in its self unethical!!
