AFMShould i go for self study for AFM

PPRIYA6y ago
I live in a city where we do not have any AFM teacher and i took couple of online demos and did not found any helpful, I am quite used to face to face classes and online does not seem suitable for me. I have talked to couple of seniors and they all adviced against self study. In your opinion and according to your experience, do you think that AFM is suitable subject for self study along with OT notes and lectures? I have been told that it is a very daunting exam and extensive classes are required. I just cleared AAA and AFM is the next option for me. I know what I am asking is a matter of personal judgment, but I still need some insight into whether it is doable or should i just go for online learning, which i do not want to.

I am in a similar enough situation. I did face to face classes for FM and after failing twice I used open tuition lectures for the third sitting and just passed it in March. Since the June exam is cancelled for me in wondering would I be able to manage to self study using open tuition for AFM in September rather than waiting for face to face classes to start again which would be for the December sitting. I think it would be no harm to give it a go for September if I fail I can try again in December and have the practice of the first exam. I’m just afraid after taking 3 attempts to pass FM that AFM might be a harder one for me to self study and it might be very difficult. But with no classes starting up for a while I think the best option for me is to go straight into AFM while FM is still fresh in my mind and then I can go back to SBL etc after this. Can any AFM students shed some light on this? How much harder is it than FM and is it doable in 4 months ?
