Hello I wanted to know the combination of the skills papers F4- F9 like F5 is expansion of F2. So that I can decide which papers to study for the next term together. Thank you.

Hello! F4 is completely different and unrelated to F1-F3, theoretical. F5 ( yes) expansion of F2. F6 again unrelated, mostly calculation. F7 expansion of F3, mostly calculation. F8 unrelated, theoretical. F9 some topics are expansion of F2, mostly calculations. Try to pic a mix of calculation and theoretical paper. What I would suggest you is to : 1) go through: https://opentuition.com/articles/surveys/which-is-the-best-acca-papers-combination/ 2) read a short article "Key to success" on EVERY paper's page (where you can see a big "key") which will give you an idea of nature of paper. 3) watch the introduction lecture. Hope that helps!

I would say F4,F5&F9 ( Do F4 atleast one month earlier. Also rememebr there are som similarities between F9 and F8 for example ratios etc. But they completely different in other terms. F7 & F8 ( F7 is calculation and F8 theory. But there is core relationship. Audit is done to give an opinion on the Financial statements we prepare. So this two match perfectly Do F6 last with P1 as it will combine greatly. P1 is a wordy paper and F6 is a typical number paper. But the approach for both papers are different because P1 needs more skills,knowledge and lot of practice. Also it is much important to to stress that P1 needs essential reading on current issues. Hope this is sufficmt
