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.

General ACCAAdvice needed on papers to take
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.
