    Hi there,

    I’ve already stared work on F9 for December 2013 and so far I’m finding this ok. I was going to try and squeeze F5 in but just wondered if anyone found this combination worked well or not.

    Thanks
    Lydia

    Hello

    I was thinking of doing the same. I have started lectures for F5 however, after listening to the tutor saying that the pass rate is only between 30 & 40 % i’m thinking of just sticking to the one exam and doing F5.

    Well you can study both but that again depends how much time you dedicate for studies and other commitments. If at all you think of doing both then I would suggest to start studying now 🙂

    Cheers!

    Thanks for the replies I know it all comes down to what time I have to commit to it. I wasn’t aware that f5 has such a low pass rate. Will keep on with f9 for the rest of this week and see how I feel

    Thanks again

    @lydiaw
    Someone mentioned that F5 has low pass rate because of many students has exemptions from F1-F4, and F5 is their first exam. And they think that ACCA exam may be easy 🙂
    Also, F5 has pretty big syllabus

    I agree! F5 is pretty big syllabus! and this is one paper where you shouldnt under-estimate the examiner (though you shouldnt with any :p) The examiner has quiet good surprise element in every exam session, atleast thats what i feel. The more you practice this paper the less it is. Practice good y’ll 😉
