    Hello.

    I am due to sit F7, F9 and P1 next week. I feel my prep for F7 is direly inadequate. I have paid my fees of course, and I know they are irrecoverable. But hypothetically, can I still sit my professional exam (P1) even if I decide not to attempt F7? The rest of my Fundamentals are clear.

    And another question that boggles my mind, can I sit an option paper before completing P1 P2 and P3? I know I should not be focusing on any of this right now. But I am asking this because if I skip F7, I cannot sit P2 next time around (both the exams on the same date). Would I be able to give F7 alongwith say, P3 and P4? Assuming of course, I by the will of Almighty clear F9 and P1 this time.

    Regards.

    You can still sit P1 this December, even if you decide not to sit F7.
    If you pay for any outstanding F level papers, then that allows you to sit a P level paper.

    Yes, you may sit an optional P paper before the Essential P papers.
    The ACCA now allows P level papers to be taken in any order.
