Many students have problems choosing which combination of ACCA exams to sit. We have conducted a survey, and over a 1,000 students participated.
Here are the results:
2 ACCA Papers – the best combination
3 ACCA Papers – the best combination
Which is the best combination of ACCA Papers?
i’m doing F4 F5 F6 this semester, what paper should i take next semester until P papers?
I’m thinking of taking f7 & f9 by june 2013 is it a good combination? Pls i don’t want to make any mistakes.
Thats my plan for June too.
that’s my plan too,I think they should go well together…glad to know am not alone
InShaAllah Me too,how is it to take f7 f9 p1 this sitting?
Please advice if you can combine f7 and f9 together.. Are they too huge…. I would have done f7 and P1 but may not be allowed to attempt P1 without passing F9? Help please!!!!
F7 and F9 combination is not too huge as long as you can arrange the time to study the core knowledge in both papers.
You can not attempt P1 unless you have the exam fee of F9 paid.
I would advise you to clear F7 & F9 then proceed to P1.If you pass F7 & the other one not done you can sit for F9 & P1 like i did the last sitting.
i am taking f4 n f6 for this session is his good combination?
yes very gud
thanx fren
Anyone tried taking F1,F2,F3,F4 together? How long it takes to prepare for F1,F2,F3?
5 to 6 months on average
it depends on ur Institute
F4 is my first exam on ACCA and I ‘m not English native speaker. Do you think it’s a good idea to combine it with F5 or F6? Thank you.
For F5 first take f2.. F5 is the advance level of F2..
You can’t skip to F4 without validating F1-3 or being granted exemptions for them. If you can indeed sit F4, then it’s an easy paper so perfectly fine to combine with the cumbersome F5 (often balance of calcs and essays) and/or F6 (mostly calcs with a million tiny bits to commit to memory). Don’t hesitate to contact me if you need any help anytime for these and any papers up to P3, excepting P2.
what about f7 and p1 together? or f5 and f7?
hi i am new to acca and was exempt from f1-f3…do you think that f4 f5 and f6 is a good combination for Dec 2013 exam?
That’s perfectly fine.
that’s what Acca Recommend you to do.
Am at my final level, so i am in a position to To give advice to starters, so do not hesitate to contact me direct if you need any help.
What do you guys think about the professional papers?
From what I have read of the syllabus so far P1 and P3 go together, and P2 and P7 go together since they are heavy on calculations and safeguarding/ethics details.
i think so too. P1 talks about corporate governance and blends well with business analysis, P2 and P7 from F7 and F8, go well together
I think students must do one theory and one calculation paper in each session. i had given f1,f2,f3 in one session, then f4,f5, then f7,f6,f9, then p2 & f8 then, p1,p3 & p7. Now i just have p5 left and this has been a great combination of papers for me as they all are cleared in first attempt since i did not mix the topics or calculations coz the subjects were very different from each other and never did i get bored coz i was studyiing variety, calculation & theory both.
@sana260, did you take P1, P3 and P7 all together in one go? If yes, how much time did you spend on all three papers? Did you finish P2 & F8 say in June and then P1, P3 & P7 in Dec in same year? Thanks.
@sana260 were u ableto take p2 without having completed f level?
Elo i would like to knw whether i can do p2 n p5 together?
I have just completed F4 and F5 and am now considering what to do, I was thinking of trying F9 (Financial Management) and F7 (Financial Reporting) in June 13 and F6 and F8 (Tax and Audit) at this time next year. Anyone tried these combinations, if so how did you find them?
@celticking76, I plan to just count. 6 and 7 June and 8 and 9 december. i was told that they all connect so knowledge from tax and fin man help with the next two. I dont know. I wanted to skip tax for now but i figured its best to follow the advice given.
Hi!!!!!!!! need some help.which is best f7 with f8 or f7 with f9?
Kindly comments………..
@zoya07, F7 with F8 is better than F7 and F9
F7 & F8.The reason is simple ACCA will either make you pass both of them or make you fail both them.Nevertheless i passed the same combination.However work hard & you will make it as i made it the June 2012 sitting.

That’s an interesting comment! Why do you think they make you either pass or fail both??
that’s not true. i passed F8 with 63, but didnt make F7.
Wow, on what basis is your conclusion that ACCA will make you pass or fail both? I’m sorry but that’s just too subjective a viewpoint.
better go with f7 and f9
wow dude. Good luck. 3 papers at the level is hard for me, can’t imagine at P level.
Am doing p2, p3, p6 and p7 so you too can try. Wish ourself best of luck
Pls am new here. I really need some 1 to put me thru, whc of d paper should i write 1st, cos i already hv my B.Sc intact. And i want 2 start up next yr by God’s grace. So who will help me out here.
@kappa007, Write F2 and F3 first if you were given F1 as exemption. don’t jump to F4-F9 they will discourage you. get used to the exams with the first papers then you can think of combining others
Well, unless you’ve been granted exemptions in F1-3, you will need to start from there before you can move on skill papers (f4-9). Best wishes
needed a partner for f5 and f6
Hey……me taking f5 f6 f7 and looking for comments
so whats the best combination of 4 papers?
hi, can i take p1 and p3 together, even though i know it will be boring :(, i learnt i cant take p1 and p4 together, cuz i hav passed p2 already too
so what do u suggest cos have written f8,f9,p1 last diet, hope to pass it in december and am going for IFRS training so i suggest i sit for p2 for better understaning of the IFRS training.
i am just rewriting f7(got 47%) and writing f9,hope its the best combination,trying to start the learning and studying at the same time,hope to finish the part two and move on to the professional level.
Thanks for excellent ACCA support and well organised notes and other studying materials.
