    I know its hard to say but I would only have evening and weekends available.

    Say 23 h of studying a week for March sitting.

    Covered a little bit of FR already but nothing from Audit.

    100% doable!

    I work full time and have always done two exams at once however not in that combination – I did AA with TX and PM & FR together but FR and AA compliment each other so you should be fine.

    It is a lot of work but if you’re determined then go for it.

    Thank you beth33

    I think im tempted to try.

    I haven’t mentioned but I also have a daughter so she needs some of my time as well.

    How early before exams do you actually start studying?

    And what materials do you use?

    Thank you

    I started studying in the April for June sitting and used the Kaplan sets (study text, exam kit ect).
    I’m not sure how it’ll fit in with your daughter as I know she’d need a lot of your time but whilst I was studying for my two I was also fundraising for an charity overseas project (which I went on just before sitting my exam so was two weeks of no study).

    I think as long as you’re motivated and can put the work in then you should be fine but if you feel you may struggle for time then just do the one.
    You could always try doing the two and if closer to the exam you feel you can’t do it then defer one to the next sitting.

    I studied and sat for two papers in december that required me to study a full day on Sundays and half days on Saturday as well as some evenings during the week while working full time

    Two papers is doable but i had no social life or holidays for two months

    i would say a big sacrifice is needed for two exams as it is worse to do 2 halfheartedly and fail both then if you just did one and studied well to get the pass

    with motivation it is possible
