    It will be interesting to see what other people reply to this, but the problem is that everyone is different. Getting ‘excellent marks’ depends partly on how much time you spend studying and also how easy or hard you find the subject!!

    If you are asking which two of these three to take at the same time, then I always suggest that it is a good idea to take a written paper and a calculation paper at the same sitting. So I would suggest either F4 and F5, or alternatively F4 and F6. (F4 is all writing; F5 is 50% calculations and 50% writing; F6 is almost all calculation)

    One other thing to consider is that the rules for Paper F6 change every year (it is tax). However much you study there is obviously always the risk that something goes wrong and you fail it. If you take it in June and fail, then the rules will still be the same when you take it again in December. However, if you leave it until December and fail, then you have to learn the new rules when you take it again the following June.

    Hope that helps. Maybe others will have different suggestions 🙂

    You are allowed to take up to 4 papers each time.

    However they are difficult and how many you take depends very much on how much time you have available for studying.
    Most people take 2 papers each time.

    The things only matter are your abilities, determination and skills . . . .thinks hundred time before taking any decision but once you took decision don’t look backward. . . In my opinion you should go for minimum 2 paper (F4 and F5) . If you considering to take 3 then you should go for (F4,F5,F7).

    @anas, you would really add the F7 with that much info to cover with F5? f5 and F7 are two of the toughest papers in level two with some of the lowest past marks. for someone just starting i would suggest two papers 4 and 5 are a good start and the fact that f5 has is 50/50 writing and calculation a lot of practice is required. law while it may seem easy no one can pass it unless they complete the entire syllabus and practice past papers as well.

    Its now march so to cover three papers for june would be rough unless you are coming in with knowledge of the material coverd

    @latoyah I recommended him/her because F7 has short syllabus and easy to pass while other (F6,8,9) are too lengthy and need a lot of practice as compare to F7 which is very difficult with 3 papers and also at initial level.
