I'm hoping to start ACCA in September, can any body recommend how many exams to take in one sitting. At the moment I can handle to Technician exams, I've never done any more than that in one sitting. And also, do they have to be taken in order?<BR><BR>Thanks in advance!!

    Hi<BR>To be honest it's completely up to you.<BR>I feel comfortable only sitting two in one sitting.<BR>But everyone is different. If you feel that you have enough time and feel comfortable with sitting more than two exams in one sitting, go for it. <BR>According to ACCA you can only sit 4 exams in one sitting. As you would have completed AAT you will be exempt from Part 1.

    To add to what rcole has said, you have to think about your other commitments too i.e. if you have a full time job etc. I did 3 technician exams together (BTC, PTC and DFS) and the pressure wasn;t as great as now when I'm doing law and tax ACCA papers together. However saying that I only work part time but have two small children and a husband/third child!!! I am seriously considering doing audit and the financial paper together but from then on will only do one paper per sitting, that being 2 a year. If you don't have the commitments I do then you will be able to do more. I have serious respect for the people on my course who work full time, have children and still manage 2 papers a sitting!!<BR><BR>Another word of warning is that 2.1 and 2.2 (information systems and law papers) have a lot of writing and virtually no calculations and BPP advise people not to take 2.4 and 2.5 together as they both have such a big syllabus. Just a reminder, all ACCA papers have to be taken in order.<BR><BR>Enough of my rambling, I hope it helps.<BR><BR>Annette
