f9
Personally:
P2 was tough for me, likely the most difficult of the lot.
P1 and P3 were rather easy – I enjoyed P3.
P5 I did not enjoy the study content, even though I passed first attempt it was a chore.
P7 was easy for me, however my 3 years “Articles” was performed in auditing – This one I barely needed to study for.
P4 is the hardest by far
I found F4 the easiest, now it’s a CBE. I found F7 the hardest. I have sat it three times and failed each time. It will now be the last F paper I attempt.
Easiest F9, hardest F8
Surprisingly both from F-level modules.
Having only taken 3 papers, F4,6 and P1, I find F6 hardest unless you’re well prepared in the tax laws of your variant especially the corporate taxes which has a connection with the individual taxes.
P1 you need to read pyp to understand how they approach the questions and a basic read on some of the ethical theories, the rest are basically internal controls and risks which are basically on the spot and it’s according to the case study, so just pick out all the anomalies and give a reasonable resolution to it.
As for F4, I prepared entirely by studying KAPLAN notes from my friend, and I can say as long as you nail the MCQ, it’s hard to fail.
I became an affiliate two days ago, having chosen P4 and P6 optimal papers.
I found F9 the easiest, probably on account that all the questions I was hoping for came up. I finished 15 minutes early and got my highest mark.
I found P2 the hardest. It’s the only exam I failed twice.
P5 was the toughest for me.
