SBRP2 and P7 papers, good combination?

Nice question..;)

P2 n P7 goes well..I'm doing it..so try on..best of luck

Yep, it seems to be the more sensible combination, so will give it a try. Good luck to you aswel.

Meanwhile, if anyone else has any suggestions, please feel free to post.

I also intend to this combination, but may not sit in Jun, maybe Dec.
mussa1984, do you self-study or will take courses?

yosoykaren, I have not made my mind up yet, but I'm inclined to take courses for both papers.

Mussa, then did you self-study for P1, as I am going to take P1 for June 2012 session, I am wondering if self-study is ok for passing P1. Thanks!

Well, just spoke to ACCA and apparently I won't be able to combine P2 with P7 as I would need to enter for the P3 paper before sitting the optional papers.

Therefore, I have no choice apart from combining P2 with P3..damn!

Yosoykaren, I went for a P1 course and to be honest with you, they are useless.

If you have self-studied for any other papers and you sucedeed, then you should be fine with self-studying P1.

Just practice a lot of questions by writing the answers in full and not bullet points and you should be OK!

@mussa1984, What you are allowed to do is to take P2, P3 and P7 in June. You are just not allowed to take P7 without finishing the rest of the compulsory P's at the same time.
If you were to fail P2 or P3 (or even just not turn up for one of them) but passed P7, then you will still keep your pass at P7.

John Moffat,

Thanks for the clarification.
Due to being a full time employee and father of two, I would only be sitting two papers, so it seems that I will have to resign to the fact that I have to do P2 & P3.

I could enter for P3 and not turn up and do P7 instead, but for some reason I don't feel comfortable in doing it.

I shall make a decision in the next few days.

Thanks everyone for you valuable input.

@yosoykaren i did self study for P1 and P3 and passed both at first attempt, i think you can do it especially if you did it before. I have self studied all the papers.

In my opinion P2 and P7 is excellent combination, if anyone could make it.

@ sizwile

Did u self study P2 as well? what materials did u use for P2 and P3 .

I am attempting P2 and P7 this June and think it is a good combination

P7 is tough i supposed and p2 is harder, just check your time availability for preparation
