Home study planning when taking more than one paper?

Hi all

I’ve recently returned to ACCA studying after several years’ break (thank god for the extra time the syllabus change has given me!) and will be doing F4 in June. If I pass this, I intend to try and do 2-3 papers per sitting in order to get the darn thing out of the way.

My question is to anyone who has done something similar and studied for multiple papers from home. How do you manage your study schedule? Do you vary the subjects studied in each session (e.g. an hour on paper A, an hour on paper B…), devote each session to one paper but then study another in your next session, or just study paper A until you’ve gone through the syllabus, then paper B likewise and then revise them both at the end?

I did this for my first couple of exam sittings and used a combination of the first two approaches which seemed to work ok, but obviously the papers are increasing in difficulty and I’m a bit older and more out of practice at studying now, so am intrigued as to how others have managed it.

Thanks
