    I am planning to take P4 for March session but the classes will start soon.
    I wanted to know how difficult P4 is in your opinion and how much overlap of F9 is there in P4?
    I heard P4 is very hard amongst all the papers.

    What would you suggest?

    P.S. – P7 is a must. I am confused about the other optional paper (i.e- P4)

    P4 is certainly a hard exam (but all the P exams are – which each person finds the hardest depends on that person).

    There is big overlap with F9 – most of F9 is examinable again in P4, but to a higher level.

    What would maybe be a good idea is to look at a few past papers on the ACCA website, for P4 and whichever other option you are considering – it will at least give you an idea of the level of difficulty.

    Thank you for your response
    I found F9 to be really interesting and kind of easy so I get confused when people say that P4 is very hard.

    Ill see the past papers

    Thank you
