    Hello,
    I have to choose from P4, P5 & P6

    Background information:
    F5 – 67 (2 years ago) (2 attempts) (1 time class)
    F6 – 51 (2 years ago) (3 attempts) (2 times classes)
    F9 – 55 (6 months ago) (3 attempts) (self-study with just some assistance like say 10% of the course)

    When I was studying fro F5, I was understanding a lot but with F9, I just can’t get my head around how foreign exchange works.
    I have attempted to study P4 but did not touch the other two.
    I think I would do 10% better in P5 than in P4.

    Please give me a suggestion,
    Thank you

    It seems P5 is the one you should go for, according to your stats and input.

    Hi,

    I do self study and have just completed F7 for the second time. if I pass this would be my 11th paper of the 14. Deliberately left financial reporting until towards the end as I find it hard. I’ve been at ACCA at my own pace for nearly 5 yrs given family and work commitments but am hell bent on completing it next year. My results always average 50 no matter what paper and September was my first fail at 48% so efforts have paid off thank god once I go for the papers and give it a hard week at the end leading into the exam. Although F7 is a different animal and I expect the rest of the Ps will be too. I can never do 2 or more papers in one session as Im such a crammer. Whilst I cram I do follow all the tips and try to pick marks out as best I can anywhere in a paper. I never run out of time as in nearly every paper I have one rubbish question that I cant answer! I got 73% in F6 with help from a good lecturer whom I may go to for P7 but I can only attend lectures for the june sitting. I feel confident enough to start either P2, P4 or P5 for March whilst waiting for the F7 result knowing I may have to ditch my efforts to resit that awful paper again. Hence I think I’ll leave P2 until last. A few questions:

    Whats the best choice P4 or P5. im a financier by trade but when it comes to these subjects that goes out the window. Whats easier to pick off and pass.

    Am I right to leave p2 until last. I hate f7 but realise its the next level so I may be more in tune with it right now. Everyone I know leaves it till last and needs two goes to pass.

    I could really do with passing a paper in march to keep the spirits up…pending passing F7 this time…fingers crossed.
