    Hi,

    I just have one applied skills paper left (Taxation – UK) and was considering to sit for two papers in March 2022.

    Firstly, thank you so much for your guidance as OpenTuition which helped me pass my ACCA papers till now and actually came first in my country in one of them. I am very grateful.

    Secondly, kindly advise on how to make the correct choice for the advanced level papers and is there any combinations which can make the advanced levels simpler and more straightforward?

    Please give me any advice possible, this will be highly appreciated.

    Thanks once again.

    Aayush Shah

    Here are the results of a very recent survey of students carried out after September 2021 exam results https://opentuition.com/acca/survey-results-when-taking-2-acca-exams-which-is-the-best-combination

    As you will see from the comments there also, to sit two strategic exams at the same time is not to be recommended – it is better to pass one than to fail both. Obviously it depends on the individual’s track record and how much time they can commit to study and question practice, in particular.

    Here are some recent/related posts:

    Hi,

    Thank you for your response.

    Kindly note I study full-time rather than work and study.

    Is your recommendation still the same? Just wished to be clear.

    Please confirm the same.

    Kind regards,

    Aayush Shah

    As I said, it depends on the student and as a prizewinner, if anyone attempt more than one, that would be you. If you haven’t attempted two exams in one session before then to try at SP might be a risky strategy – but if you’ve sat two exams at a time before you should know how to handle them.
