    I concur with Ansi….you can only register for 2 of the options, the system won’t allow otherwise and even if you send in paper registration ACCA will not accept. My advice is to decide which two you are wish to go for and then start studying towards them.

    3 papers just require discipline. Many people do it while holding down full time jobs….I did P2, P3 and P7 in one sitting, whilst holding down a full time job and doing stuff on the side.

    I have done three papers and it was a disaster!! I cant get enough time off work for three as May is our year end.

    Is P1/P3 or P1/P2 or even P2/P3 best? Any ideas? I like the sound of P1/P3 so get a day off inbetween. Does the P2 examinable docs change from Dec 2011 to June 2012?

    Thanks

    Hi ursali.

    I do not think you will be able to process that request throgh ACCA. I believe you must attempt P1 to P3 before you can choose your options. For example say you had done P1 – 3 exams…..passed P1 and P2 but failed P3, you cannot decide to just do your options and leave P3 for last. You would still HAVE TO click on P3 (ie pay for the P3 exam) and choose your options.

    I sat for P1 & P3 and failed both 🙁 can I choose and pay for P1, P3, P6 & P7 for December 12, but only attend P6 & P7 and be absent for P1 & P3? Please advise. Thanks

    P1 & P3 are much easier than P6 & P7. I think P1 & P3 are easiest P level papers. I would clear P1 & P3 first.

    You can do that panismith assuming you’ve completed P2 but it might be better to retake P1 & P3 while the information is fresh in your mind. That way you can build on the knowlodge you developed in your first round of study.
