    I am thinking of sitting the above papers together in June 2016.

    P2 and P6 require some recapping of F7 and F6 papers – for P7 my knowledge from F8 is still a little fresh.

    I work full time but do get time off to attend courses and get study leave also.

    Baring all that in mind, can anyone advise whether to still sit all three together or to defer one until December?

    I assume the country you are in do not do September exams yet?
    In terms of papers, you need to assess all the previous papers linked to professional ones that you are attempting and how did you fee about them. I personally struggled with f7 and so attempting p2 was dreadful but because I attempted it on its own, I passed in my first attempt. So, if your f8 is still fresh and you did ok with f6 and f7, you could give it a go. Otherwise I would suggest rethinking p2 as it does require many hours of preparing.

    Hi Saadn

    My honest opinion is that 3 exams (2 of which optional) is too much, however if you feel confident try them out. Consider that the optional are very demanding in terms of professional knowledge and exams technique. I would advice you instead P2 and P7 together as the IAS / IFRS studied in P2 are the basic knowledge for Audit.

    In this way I think you have more chances to pass both of them.
    I am not truing to scare you but have a look at the passing rate of P7 … it’s not a joke or at least for me was hard to pass P7 but passed P2 at the first attempt.

    Consider that for P7 news skills are required such as clear and fast hand writing, good english which allows you to get the mark in 2 sentences etc etc.

    Hope this helps

    Regards
