You certainly have to pass an examination in law in your journey to ACCA qualification The choice is entirely yours There is no need to consider attempting both English and Global The only real consideration behind your choice of paper is … where do you envisage spending your life after you have qualified? If it is your intention to remain in the UK and to practice as an accountant / auditor on your own account (ie you intend to apply for a practicing certificate) then you need to have passed the English Law variant If your planned future lies beyond the UK, then you may choose either English Variant or Global variant (or, indeed, any of the other variants) It seems to me that, by choosing English Law, your future is opened more fully geographically Don't ask which variant is easier than the other because neither is easier! One final comment - if you choose Global and you are successful and then, sometime in the future, you decide to apply for a UK practicing certificate, that's the time when you find that you will need to pass the English variant That's possible and, in that scenario, you will have taken both the Global variant first of all and then the English variant But that would be unusual and unnecessary if you choose English variant now Is that all clear?
