Hi Adimango. 3.3 is a good choice bcuz I have chosen it too :)
As for the other one......... you said u want an 'easy' paper but unfortunately none of them are easy at this level but 3.3 and 3.4 are ones with the highest passrates so maybe they could be considered as 'easy'? But you also said u dont want a theoretical paper so that leaves behind just 3.2 Tax which is just like 3.3 in the sense that it is a mixture of computational and theoretical questions. Why don't u do this combination like me and we can work together on stuff when stuck?

Hi Sheba.
Thanks for the information. I will be appearing for 2.5 & 3.3. Also i was thnking of to take one more paper might be 3.2 or 3.4. I am searching for the study text also for the paper 3.3, but it seems very difficult in India.
Which place you are from. Have you got the study text.

Yea I'm currently in ur neighbouring land Pakistan and the 3.3 textbook is readily available here (mine was published in June 06) and I am very surprised that it isn't available in India yet, considering the fact that we are in March. The Kits with the past Qs are not available yet though.
2.5 is a tough paper so perhaps you should only study those two? What normally happens with most students in this situation is we choose to sit 3 papers but we only pass 2. Considering this and the fact that you have less time now to buy and start studying a highly demanding course, why not save ur money for next time?Dont forget that the syllabus will cvhange for Dec and the core papers do not have to be sat together thereafter, so my honest advise to u would be to concentrate on 2.5 and 3.3 for now, and then next time do 3.2 equivalanet with one more paper. Then last 2 the following June.
Best of Luck with finding ur textbook!

To be honest i have only just started studying for 3.3 so I dont really know too much about it, but I can tell u the key areas of the syllabus, which are:
MAnagement Acc Systems (thier contribution towards the avievement of corporat obj)
PErformance Measurement and Indicators
Planning n Control incl budgeting
Decision Making (pricing n CVP anaysis n DCF techniques, SWOT etc)
Abstracting Relevant info from financial reports to assess performance
So basically Adi, if u liked 2.4 then u will enjoy 3.3 hopefully.
