    I’ve failed aaa exam for the second time now scoring 45 marks. i decided to go for aaa after being tired of afm because i failed that paper too for the second time with 43. I’m now studying both aaa and afm for March 2019, im going through past exams for aaa as i have syllabus knowledge but I’m taking online classes for afm. however my parents are persuading me to take classes from an institute, and the nearest one is an hour away. they won’t take my word for it when i say I’ll study harder and make it through this time. so i really need some help and advice. is it possible to self study for both p4 and p7 for March, or should choose to appear in june? if self studying both p4 and p7 is possible can someone please help me as to how i can prepare to pass. or should I actually take classes from an institute.?

    Hello Zainab,

    I self-studied AAA (P7) and passed the first attempt. I have two little ones and do not work presently. While you did not state your other personal or possible work commitments, I would say take it one at a time, whether studying alone or at an institute, you still need a lot of focus and commitment with these higher level papers.
    I *tried* to do APM with AAA in Sept 18 diet but I quickly realised it was foolhardy and decided to just focus on one at a time, I postponed APM till Dec 18 and focused on AAA..which paid off in the end. I have now finished all my exams.

    As you have such marks in both AFM and AAA, the majority of your work now should be on honing your exam techniques. This is also as difficult as getting the knowledge base, so do not take it lightly.

    I would suggest you focus on AAA for March 19 and sit for AFM in June. The time between the two sittings is not that much and you would stand a higher chance of passing if you do not rush them.
