    No, Actually you can attend upto 4 papers per CBE session. As you say you are new to ACCA, You may have the first 4 papers as ON-Demand CBE So you are not limited to give in december. So, check if your country has a centre that has on Demand exams

    Yes, you may sit only one paper per session. I usually sit only one exam per session – that’s still 4 exams per year – 1 every 3 months – and for me it’s a good rate to take them at

    Welcome on board on this ACCA Journey!

    Yes you can sit 1 paper per sitting..
    I will surely recommend doing 1 paper per sitting because that helps to secure a good first time pass.

    You are able to focus better more and give ample to prepare and practice well.

    Over – Commitment of papers per sitting by students is one of the common mistakes. Try avoiding that!

    With 4 papers per sitting in 1 year would mean you will be done with 12 out 13 papers in 3 years. Which is good enough!

    I did the first 3 papers – F1, F2 and F3 in one sitting… Thank God passed (phew!) but that was the last of it. It was too pressurising and so after that started doing 1 paper per sitting.

    Hope this helps.
