    Hi everyone,

    I have attempted P7 in March-2017 and awaiting for result. After that I have 2 papers left, P3 and one optional paper.
    I am planning to attempt one optional paper in Jun-2017. If you guys could guide and suggest me which optional paper should i opt among P4,P5 & P6. I have plan to get through self-study as I have done in my previous papers.
    Further if anyone could also update, whether there are any changes in P6 syllabus.

    I am a full time employee.

    Awaiting for your professional opinion.

    Thanks & Regards

    You mention you have P3 left.

    One thought is to do P3 first and then P5 in the next sitting after.

    Why?

    Because there is a good connection between the two papers with some overlapping syllabus areas though the way in which you would approach and answer the questions are different.

    To be successful in P5 you need to have your F5 and P3 knowledge as fresh in your head as possible.

    That is only one thought.

    I suppose it also depends where you work, too. If you work in practice it makes sense to do P6, but if you work in industry P5 may be more suitable.

    Good luck.
