    Dear John,

    Hello!

    Due to personal reasons, I missed the F9 exam today but I want to progress to the next level of ACCA exams.

    I have F7, F8 and F9 to attempt to progress to professional level. In Dec session, I entered F8 and F9. I believe I can pass F8 so plan to enter P7 AAA and F7 FR in March 2016 before the result release date. Do you think it’s a good strategy.

    I would also like to enter F9 again in March session but I don’t know for average students, are three paper too much to attempt (I heard that attempting two papers per session can maximise the chances of passing )?

    Thanks a lot!

    Have a nice day!

    Certainly people do manage to pass three exams at the same sitting.

    However it is hard work and it all depends how much time you have available for studying (and how easy or hard you have found F9).

    Dear John,

    Thanks for your reply!

    If I have limited time, for F9 or P1, which one would you recommend me to sit as an additional paper?

    Thank you once again for your help!

    I am a bit confused, because before you mentioned P7 🙂

    To be able to enter for any of the P papers you have to enter for any remaining F papers at the same time.

    So if you will have to enter for F9

    It is possible to enter for the next level exams before the exam release date (18 Jan 2016). For me, I have F7, F8 and F9 to sit and pass to progress to P level. I entered F8 and F9 in Dec 2015 and I subsequently entered F7 and P7 in March 2016 session.

    PS Now the status of F9 is entered so before the result release date, F9 is a ‘pass’ – ‘entered’ status means the ‘temporary’ pass, I think.
