Hello Mr Moffat.
Hope you are fine.Would you please advice me about choosing the two optional papers from P4,P5,P7?! Can you please tell me which of them has more marks for calculation part? Because I think I am more good calculations as English is not my first language.
If my position for the answer is important I should say my marks for F5,F6,F7, F9 are around 70-75 and I just took F8 and P2 this June. I have not tried P1 and P3 yet and I want to take 2 or 3 P papers for December 2015 and it seems we can take P papers in any order. And I do self-study.Would you please help for this matter ?
Thank you in advance
June 12, 2015 at 4:17 pm #256623P4 is the paper with the most calculations (but it is a difficult paper, and there is still quite a lot of writing).
P7 has no calculations (it is auditing) – it is all writing.
P5 has both, but more writing than calculations.

Excuse me, would you please let me know what percentage of the exam (on average) is aboout calculation in each of P4 and P5?
Thank you in advance.
June 25, 2015 at 8:32 am #258796For P4 it varies and also depends on which of the choice questions you select.
You can assume it will be between 40% and 60%.For P5 you need to either ask in the P5 Forum (or look at past exams yourself on the ACCA website).
