Hi,
I’m currently studying at BPP now for P2 and P7 exams in June 2018 due to unfortunate timing of the release of the Strategic Professional Papers, meaning that I was advised not to sit for P1,2,3 in one sitting in June 2018, so I have been assigned P2 and an optional paper (which I chose P7).I’ve recently seen that SBL and P6 will clash in the September exams and I’m hoping to clear the last 2 papers in December 2018 but upon learning of this news, I’m not sure if I’m able to sit for both papers in one sitting as they will most likely clash in the December sitting as well and I want to do P6 but am not keen on delaying this process to March 2019 🙁
Anyone in a similar situation here?

The problem you have is that p6 and SBL will clash likely in every sitting as the timetable doesn’t normally change, I.e. you sit the same exam on the same day each sitting. You won’t be able to sit two exams on the same day as you can’t currently sit F9 and P4 on the Friday together.
Additionally, unless you are studying full time doing both in one sitting seems difficult given that SBL is a four hour exam and P6 has a large syllabus unless you are giving yourself 6 months to study both.
I would suggest if you want to finish by December, why don’t you sit one in September and the other in December?March 15, 2018 at 6:43 pm #442727I’m an international student studying ACCA in the UK so I’m studying the courses full time. Generally, we have exams in June and December because BPP study plan is to attend classes in March for June exams and classes in September for December exams. As far as I know, there are no classes in June so I cant take one in September and another in December :((

This is like an online course both bpp and Kaplan offer this and this will allow you to sit it in September and December.
This is very similar to classroom other than it is cheaper and you can study it at home and login in to a tutorial with a lecturer in video.March 15, 2018 at 6:55 pm #442731I’m based in BPP Manchester. Yes I know about the online courses but I’ve already fully paid for the tuition to be conducted in class as part of visa requirements. I’m unsure if I will be eligible to enroll for the online course and void one of my classroom taught class and be refunded.

I am not sure if you could do one with Kaplan Manchester and another with BPP as not sure if they classes would clash at BPP anyway if you wanted to do both for September. Otherwise you will have to sit one after another with one in December and another in March as I doubt the timetable will change in December so that they can be sat in the same sitting tbh.
