Can I sit P6 without passing P3 yet?

Hi folks.

I have recently started studying towards P6 & P7, but unfortunately I failed my re-sit in P3 in december.

My Question is…..

If I was to take P3 & P6 together in June 14 (Which I Believe is allowable), what would happen to my P6 result if I passed that paper but failed my P3 paper again. Would it be classified as a pass or would they discard the result due to the fact I havnt yet passed P3.

I know it says on the ACCA site that all papers within a module are to be attempted before continuing to another module ie P1 to P3 before attempting options. But I have also read that folks have entered for P Papers without passing all F Papers. ie Entering for F9 & P1 in the same sitting.

Has anyone done this and passed the P Paper but failed the F Paper….If so has the Pass been allowed? or did you have to resit it once you had passed the F Paper.

I would appreciate any advice on this.

Thanks in Advance

Mark 🙂
