Hi Amiee,

Thank you for your input. Nice to have a different opinion and well done for getting as far as you have!!

I’m more than confident in getting through the papers as my job has got me a lot more involved in projects that will help get through certain parts of the F4 onwards, but i was just a bit worried of over doing it but you have given me a bit more confidence going forward knowing you’ve done what i wanted to attempt. Plan was:
F2 – End of Feb
F3 – End of March
Then 1 paper per sitting would take me to F7 in December (which i did the study for before i started the foundation papers – bad decision and advice) then by the end of next year id hopefully be on P2 (assuming id pass) and the finish ACCA by September 2019.
However doing it your way would mean finishing the F papers this year then id have the option of doing 1 P paper per sitting if they become a bit too intense to do 2 at a time…

what is your study schedule like for doing two papers?? do you alternate between papers every other day or how do you work it?

thank you

Joe

yeah i think i would agree with you all tbh. everyone seems to have the same idea about just doing 1 per sitting, i am only at the start of my ACCA journey so will listen to the advice from those who have gotta as far as you all have 🙂

[joeygraf]

yeah i have done a bit of research for the combinations people suggest and it does look at the length of course and not so much when the exams would feature together but the extra day between would definitely help

Thank you all for the advice!

i will see what comes after the F2 &F3 that i need to finish first anyway so i have a bit of time to really think about it and assess the best options.
Like you Chris i plan to take this as far as i possibly can with hopefully also attending Oxford Brookes for the Degree so it was good to know about the (68%) in the F papers making it easy to get a 1st degree. So when it comes to it i may just slow down to make sure i can get the highest marks possible to make that side of it a tad easier….i guess its about playing the long game with this and not trying to rush it all!!!

what study providers do you guys use?

For this F2 paper i am finding it easier to understand Kaplan study texts whereas the F1 i used BPP

Pass is a pass Mark 🙂

Thats one more out the way!

[joeygraf]

Thank you both for replying, i do have a full time job in an accounts team as well so that obviously gives me realistically 3-4 hours per night study time and whatever i can fit in at the weekends.

I think i will get through the F2 & F3 papers as soon as possible and then assess my options. i know i shouldn’t rush things but my aim is to get upto F9 done as soon as possible and then slow down with the P papers and allow myself a bit more time to spread the work load out with a more balanced lifestyle, i suppose i want to sacrifice now and then reap the rewards later down the road.

Appreciate the advise and will take time to decide and make sure i get whats correct for me.
