ATXWhy did you choose ATX as your option?

Ll_ACCA7y ago
Hi all, I'm in 2 minds of which options papers to choose. Thw first one will be APM but the second one either ATX or AFM. I want to do ATX because I find tax interesting but I noticed that ATX is not that popular (maybe wrong impression) because neither OpenTuition, nor some other sources have videos for ATX. So, if you don't mind, please share your story as to why you chose this paper. Maybe it'll will help your fellow students (incl.me) to make a choice.

I had already done AFM (P4). So it was a choice of the other 3. For APM, I heard that this was heavily linked to P3 business analysis which I had not done yet. So APM not an advisable option for me. I find audit extremely boring and hated F8, so doing AAA was not not in my interest. I found F6 much more interesting, so I chose ATX. I didn't regret my choice, it was an engaging topic, and in comparison to AFM, the examiner is much fairer. Technically ATX is not difficult, but the challenging feature of this module is that it is a lot! So lots of reading and practice needed. Also everybody is different. Maybe you'll be better of doing the other options. Basing your choice on which modules you preferred at skills level is a sound basis for your choice. Good luck!
