    Can I study Papers F7 and F8 in 3.5 months leading up to Sep 2016 exams? Any tips would be highly appreciated. I am a housekeeper and a full-time student. Thanks in advance

    I can study up to 5 hours a day plus or minus a few hours. I take 1 day off in 7 days.

    Seems like plenty of time to me.
    You have enough time to cover the entire syllabus and practice a revision kit for both exams.
    here is some advice for F8: https://opentuition.com/articles/spotlight/interview-with-aniqa-december-2015-f8-genius-hunt-winner-who-scored-90/#more-298863

    I agree with Suf23. In the past I prepared 2 papers in more or less the same amount of time (in my case it was F9 and F8) and passed them first attempt. I work full time so I don’t see why you, a full-time student, shouldn’t make it. Good luck.

    100% you can prepare for the two exams with the time period you have left and the time you have to do so. Last year I passed four exams, whilst working part time and returning to study with an eleven month old baby and relocating countries and starting a new job two weeks before the Dec exams. I in no way say that to be boastful, only to show you it is entirely possible that what you put in you will get out. I wish you every success.

    it is definitely possible to study them both in 3.5 months, last year from june to december i wrote 5 papers in all, F5,7,8,9 and paper P2, all with scores above 70+, not in anyway to be boastful, as long as you put your mind to it, you should be fine. All the best

    For sure the time it’s too much for just 2 papers, so go for it my dear it’s highly possible that you will make it.
