Ask the Tutor ACCA PM

Paper choice for June 2015

Aacca205011y ago
Dear John, I solely used OT for my f5 and f9 and it went too good. However now at this moment I am stucked to choose which paper to opt? I have planned to take f4 but I am deciding to take f8. The remaining exams f7 & f6 I planned to take on later june because that way I will have less gap for the p2 continued after f7. I know it might be irrelevant post to f5 ask tutor, but I have been hearing from the past a year, so I guess it will work! I saw that f8 is linked with f4 and f7, but what should I do? My f3 concepts are also not really good at the moment. Many Thanks

There really are no best combinations of papers. The ACCA suggest that you take them in number order which is sensible. The only think to try and avoid is to take two 'written' papers in the same sitting (so, for example, not F4 and F8 together). F6 is best taken in June. The reason is that all the tax rules change each year. So if you take in June and you are not successful then it will be the same rules in December.

ok will your lecture be updated for the june, if I see them or you have to make new ones?

The lectures for F6 will certainly change because the rules change. For all the other papers, any changes will be minor improvements - there are no syllabus changes. So you can start studying from them now :-)

No I meant to ask that should I start taking OT lectures of f6 from rightnow? have they been updated...?

The lectures for F6 will change because all the rules change. They will be updated in February of 2015.

Your all information is so valuable and reliable. I now planned to opt f6 f7. However just a last thing, I'm sorry to disturb you: My f3 base is really not good and I dont remember a word. So should I continue directly f7 and there my base could be done well by reading and practising f7. As f5 helps to clear base of f2...? It is because I'm not a full time student and I have to start early and then hardly I can finish 3 weeks bfr exams. If I waste my week or two on f3 and then on feb I also need to touch f6 as well. So I believe all this will get messed. What you add to query? Many Thanks

It does not matter what you remember or don't remember from F2 and F3. Our lectures for F5 and F7 revise the relevant topics from the earlier papers.
