My school initially planned for students to take three ACCA applied skills papers in every 6 month sitting, and 2 professional ones every sitting. However, more students recently are taking 2 in one sitting.
I feel like I should take 3 since that's what the school planned, meaning it's manageable+expected. However I'm not sure if i'm capable of it.
Is it better to take 3 at once, and challenge myself? Or go slow.

General ACCAHow many papers to take in one exam sitting
20d ago#1If with a "school" I suggest you don't take more than the school is providing support for. 3 at the knowledge level is doable, but if youhave exemptions and are starting with applied skills level, you might want to start with only two. See here about planning your journey, your school should be able to advise (!) https://opentuition.com/acca/plan-your-acca-exam-journey
Thanks for your response.
I'd initially planned to take Law+PM, then Tax+FM, FR+AA together. But the article page says it's recommended to take LW and TX together? Won't that cause confusion/overlap of knowledge between the two? Or is it better for memory.
17d ago#3There isn't a "one size fits all". The article also says to think about which option exams you are most likely to choose, so you narrow the gap between those and the underpinning applied skills exam.
I don't think it's possible to confuse tax and law, and TX is generally considered easier than PM as a first skills exam, but that will depend on how well you mastered MA.
