    I gues F1-F3 are theory, and how many else?
    I’m good with the theory.

    All exams contain at least 40 to 55% theory in every paper. Even calculation based papers. Some are fully theory based. in F series papers, Ratio of examining thoery in F6 and F7 is low.

    F4 Theory
    F5 Theory + Calc.
    F6 Theory + Calc.
    F7 Thoery + Calc.
    F8 Theory
    F9 Theory + Calc.
    P1 Theory
    P2 Theory + Calc
    P3 Theory
    P6 Theory + Calc
    P7 Theory

    No idea about P4 and 5 as i didn’t attempt them.

    P4,P5,P3 is both calculation & Theory based

    We expect to see some element of calculation in each of the papers in the forthcoming sittings.
