    Can anyone advice please which strategic/ option is best to start with? I wanted to start with SBL but heard that it is most complex exam and recommended as the last to sit. I’m thinking of APM or SBR. Which would be less painful?
    Many thanks

    Well it really depends on your preferences and strengths. From the professional level SBL was the easiest for me.

    The options are more difficult, I think most of us agree.

    Think also what exams you are going to sit. If you intend to do AAA, I really recommend doing it together with or right after SBR.

    Hi there

    I agree with the above SBR and SBL are easier to pass. The options are difficult. i started with these two to boost my confidence

    Would advise sitting AAA with or after SBR. and avdise APM with or after SBL
