    I had given APM four times and was not successful in passing. My last attempt I got 47% compared to 45% and 40%. Before the result I was confident I’d pass this time as I did well.Now I feel the marking in APM could be subjective. I’m thinking of taking AFM and APM in December to increase my chances of being an affiliate. The questions is, can I take two papers as a finalist ?

    If you have only to pass one more option to finish – you cannot enrol for two exams. I recommend you stick with APM and make sure you have read all the guidance available to you – in particular, the “Read the mind of an APM marker” article which is sticky posted at the top of the APM forum. Marking is really not so subjective that you would fail if your script was worth a pass.

    Thank you for the answer, Kim.

    I guess I’ll re-do APM again as I find it interesting. Will also make sure I read the recommended articles carefully.
    Hopefully, in my 5th attempt I will nail it.
