    I have always choose international stream through out my study but latterly , I had couple of years break while take care of young family and very heavy job, I did last sitting, somewhere I have read that now if you base in uk, for audit paper you must choose uk stream? It’s it true?

    I had twice close mark 48 twice then give up, now trying to pick up, however my last sitting got 23 under uk stream, after compare the question and answer, I notice the int stream paper have more clear hint/ indication for helping you structure your answers , I thinking take international stream next time, it’s that allowed? Any impact if I change stream?

    Thanks

    No impact per se if you change stream. However, if you plan to practice as an accountant in the UK when you qualify, then you should have taken the UK P7 paper

    Personally, I don’t understand this requirement! Particularly because for both F7 and F8 there is no longer a UK variant and it’s just International now

    Mike, thank you. I don’t understand this requirement too, because when I was study p2 and f8, they were force us to choose international stream, that’s what I have learnt. I am stressed about this, I am not intended become auditor. I just want to get through my last paper which under international stream, I achived 48 marks twice, the. This time I choose UK stream got 23 marks.
    Can I change back to international stream for my next sitting?

    Do you mean Practise as accountant or auditor? All the lower paper was international stream which was directed by tutor before.

    Thanks qian for this – although it still seems such a tiny difference between the two variants that it really is SAD to draw that distinction.

    Judging by your three previous scores it looks like a return to International could be a good idea!

    Keep posting if you come across an issue that you don’t understand
