    Hi well Last session I did F4 and F5 in paper based while F1 F2 and F3 I did them in a compuer based exam over Dec 2010 and June 2011 anyway…. I studied F5 by myself of course with the help of this wonderful website and its very competent tutors…. and F4 through a part time (once a week over 17 weeks) course. Anyway any subjects I’ll be taking this course I’ll do them through the same part time course so far I have registered for F6 and F7 but am not sure whether to go ahead for F8 and F9 as well… I am only a student I do not work and If i did go for all four I will use all resources at my disposal opentuition, training course, books , past papers ….so ill do all i can but if anyone has experience or is fimiliar with the subjects how much pressure do u thinks it puts on me and my chances of passing them….
    I spoke to my last course F4 tutor (who also should be my F6 tutor this time) and when i told him of my plan he just shook his head meaning NO its too much…. and suggested I do F6 F7 F8 and then F9 and P1 maybe….

    Anyway please any thoughts you could help…..

    THE SUMMARY IS:
    I PLAN TO DO F6 F7 F8 F9 IN DEC 2011, WHAT DO YOU THINK, CAN I PULL IT OFF, ON SCALE OF 1 TO 10 (1 EASY, 10 HARD) HOW HARD IS IT TO PULL THIS OFF…..

    AND THANKS..

    Hi

    I sat F4, F5, F6 and F7 together and passed them all first time. It’s definitely possible, but it takes serious dedication and hard work.

    I would listen to your tutor and do F6, F7, F8. On a scale of 1 to 10 I’d say taking on four exams is a 9.

    Hello,
    i think its very time pressured, i attempted f4, f5, f9 in june and at a point near the exams, i started wondering if i had put enough work on them, ‘m hoping for passes though. Anyway, i was working but you’re fully a student so that’s in your favor. I would advise you take your self out for 2 weeks enjoyment, then sign ur self up for 100% dedication for the four courses. All the best!

    I thought you were only allowed 3 exams per sitting? Maybe I read that wrong somewhere?
    Best of luck anyway

    I was never worried about not being prepared enough because I put in lots of hard work to make sure I was successful.

    I would recommend at least 30 hours of question practice for every module you are taking, and 40 to 50 hours would be even better. Be prepared to put the hard work in and you will get the rewards.

    I passed F4, F6, F8 and P2 in June, it’s definitely doable but you need to put in the time ahead of the couple of weeks before the exams.

    I’m working on P1, P3, P4 and P5 for December.
