    Hi there,

    has anyone done AA and AAA in one go or is planning to do so? I know the exam day is the same day, but I feel like I could sit AA in the morning and AAA in the afternoon. I was just wondering whether anyone is planning to do so for DEC 2019 and how are you preparing for it, i.e. what kind of study provider are you using, how many hours p.w. do you study (I am working full-time), how much time do you give yourself etc?

    I would greatly appreciate some advice.

    Many thanks in advance!!
    Jen

    Short answer is NO.
    PM/APM, FM/AFM and AA/AAA are all deliberately scheduled on the same day to force the progression that skills exams should be passed before preparing for strategic professional exams. AAA cannot be studied meaningfully until all of AA has been comprehensively studied. The exams at different levels require different exam skills. Also, AAA should not be attempted without prior preparation of SBR.

    AAA isn’t a good option choice for someone who hasn’t passed AA and they still need to have prepared for SBR.
