    I’m planning on sitting f8 in September but I’ve heard it’s better if you sit f7 first. Does anyone have any opinions on this?

    I seen quite a few students take F8 before attempting F7, and pass F8.
    It is good to have financial accounting knowledge for F8.
    The knowledge from F3 is enough for F8.
    If you want to take F8 first, go for it.

    Yes, it is better for you to learn F7 and then study F8 cause it is quite difficult for the students to understand the elements of FS.

    If you study F3, I think it is OK to learn F8.

    However, in my opinion, if you are working in accounting/auditing field, I think the knowledge is enough to learn F8.

    Studying F7 before F8 is good. But if u have some basic knowledge in accounting and you understand the elements of FS, I think You can go ahead with F8. I’m also taking F8 before F7

    To be honest I did F8 before F7 and found that there isn’t really a great deal of the stuff in F7 needed for F8.

    Worst case just quickly run through the relevant noted in here required.

    Hate F8 so much theory and dry = no motivation!!

    if you ask me i will recommend you go for F7 first before F8. F8 is aduiting the financial statement which is study in F7. there are IAS learn in F7 that you need to know how the are use to answer F8 like , IAS 2 ,IAS 16.IAS 10 and many others so you need to know this things for a better F8 understanding. am going in for F8 this sept. too. Pass F7
