    Hey guys,

    I am about to do my Professional level of exams (SBL, SBR, AFM, APM)

    I am curious of what do you suggest would be the best order to sit those and also curious of exam options that you chose.

    Thank you so much in advance for you help!

    Hi,
    I had the same combination of exams.
    what worked for me was to take as the first exam the one I did last from F-level. I did FM so I took AFM first as it covers the same topic and I already new the basics and both exams are similar, only AFM is of course more difficult.
    Then I took APM – this is not so similar to PM in my opinion, but still some shared topics.

    I then took SBL and SBR as last exam. But here it depends how much time you have for studying. SBR is in my opinion the most difficult exam from whole studies, it’s very technical, you need a lot of IFRS knowledge and thus a lot of time to study. On contrary, SBL you also need to study, but much of it is just common sense, so you dont need so much time for that. Also there are bits and pieces from all other exams in SBL so it’s probably best to keep it as the last exam.
