Starting Level 4 early to stay on old syllabus?

Hi,
I'm almost half way through my Level 3 studies with Cash Management (due to sit in couple of weeks) Indirect Tax, Spreadsheets and PEAF to go and with the new syllabus due to come into effect from early September i'm wondering what my best options are.
At the moment I'm thinking should I study Indirect tax after Cash management then jump to Level 4 and sit a tax module from there to 'register' myself under the old syllabus, then I would probably return to Level 3 and complete my outstanding modules before returning to complete Level 4.
Is anyone lese thinking of doing this or am I worrying over nothing and should I stick with Level 3 and study Level 4 under the new syllabus? I rang aat today and basically they said I can do whatever I feel is best for me :001_unsure:
I would love to hear your thoughts.TIA

I'm in a similar situation myself, I'm sitting PEAF tomorrow and CRS on 5th August, if I pass both I'll have finished level 3 a month before the syllabus changes. I'm probably going to sit level 4 on the new syllabus, I just hope there's not too many problems with it.
As for what you said above, don't you need to complete level 3 before starting level 4? I thought level 3 was an entry requirement to level 4 but I may be wrong.
Can I ask your reasons behind opting to sit the new syllabus?
For level 4 there is no much difference. But I am not sure how Cash Management will be treated as on new syllabus it is an optional subject now.

I you opt to sit the level 4 on new syllabus you have limited practice papers, you may have to delay your studies/study in a different order as you can not sit some papers straight away, acting as guinea pigs, if you want cash management as optional module you will have to sit it again.
I'm still not sure what to do but really appreciate all your thoughts.
My tutor never went into great details about the actual changes that the new syllabus will intoduce but by what she did say, I dont think there are too many.
You made me change my mind :cool2: I'm going to start level 4 on the old syllabus, it's seems like a no brainer when you put it like that.
