    Hi All,

    Hope you all are fine and succeded in your exams, I need an urgent advice regarding taking my next papers, I recently gave Paper F8 and Paper P2 and Alhamdulillah (Glory to God) I passed both. I took P2 without P1 because I think P1 is an easy paper on P level and I was already famililar with f8 before so I decided to give the hardest 1 (P2) first as I can allocate more time on it and I am glad I succeeded, Now as for June 2015, I was willing to take P1 and P3 but due to busy schedule and other personal reasons I can only take 1 paper this June, May be I can take both but its not confirmed, If I take 2 papers as usual then of course it will be P1 and P3 but if only 1 as a choice then I am thinking that P4 will be a right choice as you know its a monster paper and putting effort at this paper solely can be a right choice as I think P1 is too easy for me….. I am not really willing to take P3 solely and have no Idea how easy or hard it is but for paper P4 I think it could be an intelligent choice to give whole time to this paper. Please give me valuable advice whether I should go for P4 or stick with P1…… Your comments please :S

    P.S I am self studying.

    then p4 only man, its very bulky with all theories and calculations as opposed to p1 which is mainly reading and learning by heart. then u take p1 and p3 december but then theres only one day gap between the exams and i dont know if you feel comfortable about that.
