    Dear All,

    I need your advise urgently.

    Iam part time student. I was exempted from F1, F2, F3. I studied papers; F4 & F5 in institution in which i passed F4 and didnt attend F5. I couldnt understand F5 well. So, again i attended classes and attended Exam of Dec’13 and Failed. Failure in F5 made me hate it and Iam thinking to have F7 & F8 this semester and forget about F5 till Jun’15 in order to repeat it and study it with F9.

    So, whats your opinion? is that alright?

    Or do u advise me to repeat F5 instead?

    Regards,

    Watch F5 lectures on opentuition and fall in love again with F5! 🙂

    (since you were exempt from f2 — you should probably start there watching with f2 lectures – a refresher before you dive into F5

    It is very much possible to sit F5 and F9 exams together. Another OpenTuition member recently created a thread asking if he could study and sit the two papers together since he had attempted the rest of the Fundamental exams. I told him the same thing.

    F5 does cover the kind of syllabus which is much more comprehensive compared to what you study in F9 but it is surely do-able. I would suggest watching video lectures delivered by John Moffat alongside the OpenTuition notes, studying ATLEAST the Kaplan study text (if not BPP) and attempting questions in the Kaplan exam kit after studying each section. Do follow the technical articles written by the examiner on ACCAGlobal website so that you are up-to-date with the examiner’s approach.

    Also, don’t look for the institution only when you are looking for a place to study a given paper/s; instead, investigate which teacher in your locality is the best for a given paper and go to multiple institutions if say teacher for Paper F5 is best but teaches in place ‘A’ while another is reputed for teaching Paper F9 in place ‘B’.

    Best of luck.

    Appreciate your advise.

    Will do that. I will surely sit for both papers but next year in sha Allah. I already repeated f5 twice. not ready to waste more time. ACCA is not rely on F5 alone, there are several papers further to be taken. so i decided to have break from Performance Measurement this year and invest it by passing other papers.

    Regards,

    Good decision. F5 was the hardest for me. By the time u finish the rest of the papers, In Sha Allah your mind will be ready to tackle f5 really well. All the best.
