Is it possible to do SBR and AAA together in 6weeks with full time job for june 2020

I didnt pass SBR in march and I am thinking to do SBR and AAA together in june. With 6 weeks remaining and a full time job is it possible with online classes or self study?

Hello there,

There are NO June 2020 exams - therefore your next sitting is Sept 2020.

I was thinking of doing SBR & AAA together in Sept has I previous done AAA couple of times now.

SBR is my 1st time so, I don't know whether it worth me focus on SBR first. Not yet decided.

Hello,
Firstly it is commendable that you are ambitious and anxious to push yourself.
However, like Layla pointed out, I would first recommend you check that the June exams are available in your area, because in the UK, for example, they have been cancelled.
Second, even if the exams were not cancelled, it is hard to answer such a question; it depends on so many factors:

  1. Your ability
  2. Your commitment to your studies
  3. The other commitments you may have
    etc.

It is a judgement only you can make.
However, considering that in March you didn't pass, I would seek to find out why that was. It may help in answering your overall question.

Best of Luck!

Strategy wise it is always good to combine SBL+APM and SBR + AAA.
There are a lot of overlapping topics and for writing AAA, you need to quote a lot from SBR.

Downside is SBR has 52% as pass percentage and AAA has a miserable 31% as pass percentage.

So the AAA examiner is looking for a lot of depth in the answers.Not just the theory given in text books.
June exams are cancelled the world over including Asia.

Considering that you have 4.5 months to prepare, it will be a good idea to write both.
Make good use of the lockdown or work-from-home timings and devote full time to your studies.

Considering it is a retake for SBR, please go for an online tuition provider so that you catch with areas which you had missed inadvertently.

Go for it - register for SBR+AAA and write them together in Sep 2020.
Wishing you success in your exams.
