Yes Shoaib lot of students think that its difficult to complete CAT than other route and they switch to ACCA from scratch 1.1.....Yes its difficult to complete CAT because after CAT paper 6,7,(8,9,10 two from these 3) you can only claim exemptions from 1.1,1.2 and 1.3 and so students feel that after 4 papers they could only claim exemption from 3 papers....further it's very risky to complete CAT with paper 8 "Implementing Audit Procuders" and almost 95% people left it as choice and they go for paper 9 Preparing taxation computition and paper 10 Managing Finance...thats very true that paper 8 is having lowest pass rates in whole CAT scheme and when i was appearing for paper 8 only 12 students were sitting from all over Sindh with only pass rates of (30-35)%.....contrary in paper 9 and 10 in same sitting about 1000 students were appearing from Sindh.....but i recommand to complete cat with

Paper 8-Implementing Audit Procedures
Paper 9-Preparing Taxation Computations 

so that life will become easier in ACCA part 2...because of this approach i gain a lot thats why i discussed it here for example i didn't take any tution for paper 2.3 Business Taxation and preapring at my own just because of paper 9 tution so Potiential Cost Saving of Rupees 7,000..........further more due to paper 8 now i don't need to go for tution of paper 2.6 Audit and Internal Review so that another Potiential Cost Saving of 7,000.....


and last but not the least the previlage I am enjoying because of CAT Finnalist are very freshning for me every time.....the techniques, tricks and i learn lot i am not able to explain about advantages of CAT Completion....
