    Yes, you could but you will have to pay for both the P2 and P3 exams. P3 is also assumed knowledge of P5 so really you should do it first or together.

    Really you’re not allowed to write an optional paper like P5 without first writing the essentials: P1, P2 and P3, except you’re are writing them all together. What you could do as suggested by **starfish** is to enter for those papers P2, P3 and P5 and then not write it. By then you will have paid for two papers you are not writing. The only challenge is that you may find P5 challenging to study as there are areas where you will need knowledge from P3, whereas those areas may not be explained in P5.

    I suggest you write them all at once.

    Cheers!
