    Hi folks,

    Looking for some guidance. In the process of signing up to start the ACA exams through the flexible method.

    I'm looking for peoples opinions on how many exams are doable within a year? I'm full time employed in a non finance role but no kids etc.

    I know this is largely subjective but what do people generally recommend? Should I be grouping certain subjects together?

    Thanks a mill

    Generally a full time student working in a finance role with study leave would do a program a year.

    That is to say they would sign up for CAP 1 then do CAP 2 then do FAE. I believe that even with the flexible method you are stuck to certain deadlines. IE you have to do Cap 1 within 6 sittings (3 years) and Cap 2 within 6 sittings (3 years). If so I would make sure to do 2 or 3 the first year, the rest the second year and leave yourself the 3rd year free to catch up for each program.

    Other than that's its your own level of determination that free time that determins whether you should try a full program a year or half a program a year.
