How difficult the level 4 is?

xue8269

Hi, all

My level 3 is nearly completed. I am just waiting for my spsw result now. I am thinking about moving onto level 4. But I do not know if I can study level 4 on my own.

I completed my level 3 study in two and half months time without fail (not sure about spsw). People are saying that level 4 is much more difficult than level 3. And I have no accounting work experience. Does it make my study more difficult?

I have heard all papers in level 4 will take 4 weeks to get results. Does it more look like project. For each paper, does it contain more calculation or more writing?

Has anyone completed level 4 by self study? Is it very hard?

That's quite a lot of questions. If anyone has any idea about it, please give me some suggestion. I, personally ,wanna study it on my own. It saves more money, more time. But I do not know if I can handle it. thank you for replying ....

Hello Xue,

Fisrdt of all congratulations on nearly finishing level 3. In two and a half months, is impressive.

However, if you do decide to go onto level 4. Take your time, as it is a step up from level 3.
The exams take upto 6 weeks to mark, this is due to the exams now have written aspects to them and are manually marked. There is also a project, which you can purchase, all written.

I have done all through college, so I cannot comment on self study. But there will always be some one on here willing to help. Have you looked at the studdy buddy list, this may help you
