AF Exams - 2 in one go?

Has anyone had experience of either doing two AF exams in one go or two exams on the same day?

Ideally, I want to study from June/July onwards for my first AF exam and am thinking of sitting AF1 on the 7th October and AF5 on the 9th October

or:

AF1 on the AM on the 7th October and J02 on the PM on the 7th October (as J02 ties in with the AF1 content).

I am very good at study planning and ensuring I am prepared and organise with my revision and ideally i want to get these done sooner rather than later due to possible family changes in the next few years. Is either of the above situations possible? I wouldn't do the next two chartered ones at the same time but I feel I might be able to fully focus on AF1 then give AF5 a chance and see if I could pass it!

Many thanks!

  • I did J05 and AF7 on consecutive days in October as there is a fair amount of overlap in the 2 subjects, but I wouldn't recommend it for 2 AF exams. I am sure there are people who do manage it but I would prefer to concentrate on getting through one at a time, even if it does take a bit longer.
    I had to resit AF7 in April and am not planning on moving to the next one until that is nailed

  • Hi,

    I did AF3 & AF7 on same day last April. It was tough mentally to go back after lunch and write for a further two hours but I did it and passed both.

    I too am planning AF1 and AF5 in October if you fancy a study buddy? I’ve started revising for AF1 now as a big summer holiday in July that I want to enjoy study free! I am using Expert Pensions study programme which was great for AFs last year.

    Ah fingers crossed for AF7! Are your results in June? Good luck :)

  • Morning,

    Yep that’s my plan too - AF1 until we get the case study for AF5 then focus on that. We can only try! If I get these two then I’ll be Chartered so am keen to manage it.

    Will PM about study buddies 😁
