Hi RMR,
I thought taking on all 4 was a bit too much, so I took Mods 2 & 3 first, followed by 7 and then took Mod 1 twice; I am awaiting the result from my second attempt.
I was in the industry 7 years before I took my first exams. I never attended any study groups; there isn't one where I live, but would have if one was available. I attended the 2 day study course on Mods 2 and 3 organised by Peter Woodbridge in Derby, which was very useful. I would recommend you attend; it runs in August, I think.
Looking back now I wouldn't have taken all 4 in one go; I heard somewhere that only 4% of candidates are successful with all 4 in one year! I would have taken Mod 1 with Mod 7 together though, as they are closely related. It would be interested in hearing what others say; I have heard some people saying that, even though they may have been unsuccessful in a Module they gained valuable exam experience in the process.
Good Luck in whatever you decide,
Roddy
