    Hi,

    Well, personally would NOT recommend doing 2 papers per sitting in any level of ACCA whether fundamental or professional. Unless is a necessity (like the 7 year time limit is ending)

    I have had the experience of giving 3 fundamental papers in 1 sitting ( Thank God passed though… Phew!) but that was last since then I have been doing 1 paper per sitting.
    I believe that secures higher chances of a good first time pass. As you get more time to focus and prepare well.

    And then on top if anyone is working full time… It is a big NO.
    But again this is just a personal opinion!

    Hope that helps.

    I self studied afm and apm in one sitting while working full time.

    It isn’t difficult, you need to be committed and a clear plan. Throw your textbooks in the bin, read the examiners reports and practice every single past question for the left 8 papers minimum and you will pass easy.

    I managed to get my highest marks in these last papers. My exam technique on papers prior to this was terrible and in hindsight I wasted too much time reading the text book and barely any on the past questions.

    Also, a lot of people will discourage you from sitting 2 papers (see post above). Ignore them.
