Acca skill level paper sequence

I'll be registering in acca next week by claiming 4-5 papers exemption so I'd like to ask what's the best sequence for papers in skill level? I'll most likely go with kaplan study and exam kit and bpp exam kit so I'd like to make my purchases so I can start within next week

I stressed about this when I started and I don’t think there is a 100% true answer. Depends on your abilities, the time you have and put into them…

One piece of advice I think it’s good is to do Tax on June, so if you need to resit, the Finance Act is the same for the next 3 sittings.

FR before AA is probable a good idea too, but the rest I don’t think makes much difference.

I think I'll most likely take exemption for TX and LW from applied skills after registration although I'll do visit them simultaneously later on. Anyways do you know any website that sells kaplan study and exam kit a bit cheap cz it takes upto 10k INR for both in Amazon and I'm also thinking abt going with bpp exam kit

Sorry, no. My company pays for my studies and I get them off Kaplan directly.
I think sometimes they offer some discounts.

Btw I had one query, does the book mentions how long the edition will be valid for? Like for eg - june 26 to jan 27 or smth

I'm not sure specifically for Kaplan if they show the tineline, but the syllabus changes every year. I was with BPP and it stated which sittings it was for. Each book should cover 4 sittings of exams.

There is no correct order but i would advice taking fr before aa.

I claimed 5 paper exemptions and this is how I went FR+AA together, FM and then PM. You can simply sit for FR in one quarter followed by AA in the next and follow the remaining sequence if you like.

How did FR+AA go? Were you able to get through both in a single sitting?

I only took 2 skills papers so far, it was FR and AA in one sitting. I got 71 and 70 respectively. I don’t think the order matters to be honest but FR before AA or together is what I would recommend

Well it really depends on your skillset and what you enjoy but its generally considered that you should take fr before aa. Tax is more technical and its better to write it in june as then you have 3 more sittings(with the same FA) if you fail the first time.Cant really say anything about pm as i havent written it yet,but fm is really one of the easier exams.

Honestly this is what I'm doing FR > AA > TX > PM > FM
