    Currently studying P1, P2 and P3 in a college. I failed F8 last sitting and planned to resit it on September. I’m trying to decide if I should register for all 3 P papers for December sitting. I got worried when I saw the dates for the exam. Googled about taking the papers together and saw many advice on taking just 2 papers. I want to know more answers from those who had gone through the papers. Should I just take P1 and P3 or go for all 3.

    Don’t want to sound harsh but if you failed F8, it’s pretty unlikely you will pass P1-P3 in the same session unless there were extreme mitigating circumstances.

    In my opinion the P papers (possibly excluding P1) are much more difficult than the F papers and require around twice as much study.

    I’d agree with the above advice and take P1 and P3 only.

    If you are a full time student I think you can go for all 3 papers, granted you have the time to devote to them.

    I would also suggest that you look at the survey here and see the comments and review of the papers then decide.
