    It shouldn’t affect your work too much!

    Seriously though Nessa, it depends what other demands there are on your time. Family, social, recreation, sport …. there are so many unknowns (at least, they’re unknown to anyone but you) that that’s an impossible question to answer

    F7 and F9 seems to be “average” as a combination. 18% of students responding to the survey put F9 as being the best combination with F7 (expected average 20%)

    Yes, why not? The only downside is that both papers are number orientated so it MAY be better to mix a written paper with a numbers paper. But…. they all have to be passed at some stage 🙁

    Hi

    F7 with F8 seems to be a favourite combination. One is almost entirely number orientated whereas the other is almost exclusively theory / written / non-numerate

    Seems a perfectly acceptable mix to me

    The difficulty with F6 could be (and it’s not certain) because it’s UK taxation (unless you are attempting one of the variants). If you are from, for example, a former CEE country then the underlying concept of tax and all its complicated little rules could be over-facing. If you’re from the UK, then F6 and F7 should be fine.

    If you’re not from the UK and your own country’s tax regime is still in relative infancy, then maybe F7 and F9 would be preferred leaving F6 for a later day

    Hope that helps
