Hi there,
I have been exempted from F1 and will be sitting 3 exams in June session for the first time: F2, F3 and F7. Since I am almost done with the revision and still have plenty of time until June, I was thinking that I could start preparing another paper. Howeve I am not sure about which one…. Maybe F5, if it is relatively similar to F2 or perhaps F4, because there are no calculations involved…. Any suggestions? Thanks!January 29, 2015 at 8:33 pm #224318F5

F5Thanks Seagoat. Any particular reason why you suggest F5? Do you think it is similar to F2?
January 29, 2015 at 8:54 pm #224320F5 is build on F2 fundamentals – few more topics are added in terms of numbers. However at F5 level you will have to introduce some discussion, interpretation and most important application to scenario given.
With older format it was sometimes even 65% descriptive and 35% calculations. Usually balance 50/50.
However with new MCQ part I cannot give you any clue about the balance.
So wider reading, understanding will be required – so in my opinion it is better to read and learn about something that you are already familiar with (F2) than completely unrelated subject F4.

Thank you so much! I think I’ll give F5 a try then
