    Please advise what 2nd paper is more appropriate with P2?

    I am thinking to choose P5 and P7. However looking at the pass rates of P5 there is also a 2nd thought about it. Is P6 a better choice?

    I am also thinking to apply for practicing certificate in future.

    Many thanks

    If you are taking the papers in June, then you can only take P5 or P7 if you have already passed P1 and P3. (P1 to P3 must be taken before the option papers – this rule is changing after June, but is still in place for June).

    If you have passed P1 and P3, then no problem. However there is no ‘best’ combination of papers. P7 does have connection with P2, but the other three have no connection at all. It very much depends on how easy or difficult you found the under-pinning papers (F5, F6 and F9).

    Thank you for your reply.

    I kind of made up my mind about P5 but I was looking at OT pass rates and ACCA pass rates/highest marks for these subjects it appears that P5 is more difficult to pass than P6.

    I liked both subjects at F level and scored good marks. But also worried as OT does not have P6 lectures and I am self studying (thank you OT for fantastic lectures – I did not need any other support). So would it be difficult to read the text myself and be able to pass without any other support? I only have P2 left from the compulsory papers. Is P7 a tough task with P2 since it will be a lot of theory?

    Please advise.
