Hi,This December I had wrote f5 and f9 passed f9 but failed f5 .I was studying p1 all these days thinking I will pass both but now since I failed I am planning to amend my P1 paper to next exam month and register for F5 and p4 this march 2017 .Do you think I can combine p4 also ,is it sensible enough to combine with F5?will 1.5months be enough to manage both as i haven't learnt P4 .P4 is advanced of f9 right? ;/

You are correct that P4 is an advanced F9 - it is a very difficult exam. There is not connection between P4 and F5.

yeah i know about that.But since i have wrote F9 this Dec will i find it difficult to learn p4 ? Will 1.5month enough for both f5 (subject i wrote this dec but failed) &P4 (fresh to start)?? and wont you lectures and bpp revision kit be enough?

It is very hard for me to answer because I don't know how easy or difficult you found F9 (and therefore how easy or difficult you will find P4. It will mean a lot of work and I think you will be better sticking with P1 which for most people is an easy paper (because obviously you need to work more on F5). The lectures plus a Revision Kit are enough for P4, but the more extra reading you do the better.

p1 and f5 EXAMS falls on same date so I cant write.F9, only mcq I found little tricky whereas problems I found easy.P4 Exam falls after a gap and since I learnt f9 two months ago thats why I thought of combination.F5 also its something I learnt,I only need to revise :) I hope now you can better advise :D
