    Hello
    I sat F9 in Dec 2014 and obviously hope to pass although am quite sure I am very borderline. If I pass F9 I only have the professional papers left.

    I would like some advice on what to do next as I know very little at this stage about the professional papers and all my colleagues are CIMA students.

    I understad I will have to do P1-P3 and will probably do P6 and either P4 or P5 (both sound a bit scary at this stage!). I will NOT be attempting P7!

    Can anybody recommend an order that is best to tackle papers in? Do I have to do P1-P3 first? I will probably only be able to do 1 paper in June 2015 and then hope to do 2 papers each sitting from Dec 2015.

    Many thanks for your help.

    Since you are not going to take P7 then go for P2 first as it’s bulky but do-able in the June attempt which has more tuition+study time than the December attempt. Then you can take up P1 and P3 in December as they are not that bulky and a bit similar in terms of question/answer technique and pattern.

    Plus just in case if you have to re-do F9 you can easily do it with 1 paper.
