    You must be a genius to pass these 3 in only 6 months.

    First check if you can register for these for June. Because registration is allowed for only four exams in row. Have you attended any exam sessions till now?

    Hi there,

    You can sit all 3 papers in 2013.I suggest you get more recent Study Text and Rev Kits 2012 or 2013 cos the syllabus for P1 and P3 will change slightly in 2013

    and for F7 it changed slightly between 2011 and 2012.See ACCA sights for syllabi for all 3 subjects.

    You will be sitting all 3 and you don’t have an accounting background.That will be a tough one.If it had been self-study with some support it would have been cool.

    I would suggest you take only F7 and P1.F7 is one of ACCA’s flagship papers and it can be very time-pressured!

    I must be frank that the REV KITS could be useful for 2013.

    I’m thinking about doing F6 & F7 together but do I also need a more recent revision kit as I was going to use one from 2011.

    I dont think you can take P1-3 exams until you finish the F4-F7 module. I tried to register for F7 and P1 for June 13 and I wasnt allowed on MyAcca…

    ALWAYS use up to date books & exam kits for F6, tax rules change every year!

    If u pass F8 u can take P1 and P3 i think
    For P2 you need to pass F7.

    Without accounting background, it will be tough for you to pass f7 unless you are a genius.
    P1 & P3 is just theory and u can self study and pass.
