I am going to attempt F5 with some other paper from F7 OR F8 OR F9. Please help to choose the best combination with F5? I am going to attempt 2 papers and start preparing from the middle of December from Platinum tuition provider.
August 31, 2015 at 7:24 am #269220There is no best combination. The ACCA suggest that papers are taken in numerical order, which is sensible.
Don’t take F5 and F9 together – many people think that they are similar, but in fact they are completely different and studying for both at the same time can cause confusion.
Maybe you should ask your platinum tuition provider for their opinion! 🙂August 31, 2015 at 7:33 am #269223Both F8 and F5 can be prepared in 2.5 months?
August 31, 2015 at 7:41 am #269228There is no reason why not – most people do prepare for two papers in that sort of time.
However, it is impossible for me to give you a definite answer because it depends how much time you have available for studying each day, and also different people find different papers easier or harder.
August 31, 2015 at 7:43 am #269229In F8, I need to memorize a lot of stuff and is it 100% theoretical?
August 31, 2015 at 11:01 am #269272John, I am waiting for your answer
August 31, 2015 at 12:36 pm #269280We don’t sit permanently at the computer – we do have work to do!!
Don’t be impatient. We say that we will attempt to answer within 24 hours, and we do.Yes – F8 is completely written and there is a lot to learn (but there is a lot to learn for F5 and for all the papers 🙂 ).
F5 is 50% calculations and 50% theory.
August 31, 2015 at 3:44 pm #269310thanks for your time SIR!!
August 31, 2015 at 5:42 pm #269324You are welcome 🙂
March 12, 2016 at 3:02 am #305922Hi John.
I wanted to ask you how hard is it to prepare for F7 and F9 in 2.5 months? And also are these 2 exams similar in any way?
Thanks =)March 12, 2016 at 8:13 am #3059642.5 months should be enough, but it obviously depends how much time you have available for studying during that period.
F7 and F9 are completely different exams – F7 is financial accounts and F9 is financial management. There is no similarity.
