    Hi there, I have just completed Papers for Performance Management and Corporate Business Law. Can someone please advise which would be the best papers to take next? Thanks so much 🙂

    What other papers have you done? Have you passed F1-F3 inclusive? If so I personally would recommend F7 and F8 together as they both use the same accounting standards so its easier if you do them together.

    Tax I prefer as a summer exam as if things did not go to plan then the Dec sitting is based on the same material. If you do it in Dec then the following June’s paper would be based on a different Finance Act.

    Hope it helps

    Thanks.. I have completed F1,F3,F4,F5 but I have failed F2(Management Accounting) twice by one mark and I don’t know what I am doing wrong. I will attemp it again in June of next year but I want to get two more out of the way first. So you recomment F7&F8 together and then Tax in June? Thanks so much for your advice 🙂

    I think it will be a good idea to sit F6 and F8 (Audit). F7 is perhaps the toughest Fundamental module paper to pass. The pass rates for F7 from the June exams was only 28%! I think the Exam Progression rules may affect you (https://www.accaglobal.com/students/acca/info/progressionrules) as you may not be able to skip F2 in Dec and take only exams from the skills module. Check with the ACCA. I personally found F7 to be tougher than Tax (F6) But I do agree that Tax is better in the summer time 🙂

    rolusola is correct. If you take exams in December, then one of them will have to be F2 – you cannot skip it and take exams only from the Skills module.
