    Hello all,

    I’m struggling to make a decision between APM or AAA for my last exam. I had exemption from AA and passed PM only on the third attempt, not my favourite subject.

    I was thinking of going for APM as I did study for PM and did not study for AA.

    Could you kindly let me know how you find APM please?

    Hi

    Choose AAA!!!!

    I did both APM and AAA. APM has a really easy syllabus but the exam itself is a mess. Questions are very difficult to answer just because the examiner is so unclear, determining what he wants and what will get you marks is a mystery most of the time.

    If you struggled with PM, personally I’d stay well clear

    The syllabus of AAA is straight forward, the exam is very challenging but the application style to scenarios is quite fun. Its a game of spot the mistakes and application of fundamental accounting standards to back up your points. If you did well in P2 and did basic Audit standards at uni you will be fine!

    Its up to you of course but also remember that pass rates tend to be lower for APM too.

    Good luck in whatever you decide to go for.
