    I am same as you are, but I chose 5 and 7 instead FM and Tax. I have little experience in UK tax and for me it is not going to add any value.

    In between FM and PM I am equally good in both but I think PM I feel is easier than FM

    Hi,
    Well it might sound very simple but the best way is to review the pass rates from optional papers :). We are all individuals and for all of us different combinations will be easiest but in general the ACCA pass rates is the indicator.

    Personally i always suggest to choose the papers which are interesting to you and your future career plans even if they are a little bit tougher to pass.

    I’m in the same boat! I really do not want to do UK advanced tax – scored only 51 in F6.

    So my choice is two from P4, P5 and P7

    I’m leaning towards P5 and P7 but would appreciate any guidance from others. Is P5 easier than P4?

    I’ve heard that P4 and P7 is currently best combination although P4 is tougher to pass than other optionals but it adds more value to your resume and is currently more in demand. It opens up more fields for you or atleast that’s what I’ve heard. Can anyone contribute to this please???
