I Will have couple of glsses of Johnny Walker tonight and after 2 cups, if I am in a state euphoria (highly possible out for the count) then I will decide whether to write MFC or MFE or perhaps re-write exam FM. Exam is over and it's time to enjoy.

But I'm curious how many of you are going on to M, MFE, MLC, Course 3 specific or maybe are like me and have yet to take P.

I did the same as you plan to do
I passed FM then P

Advice: Do not take time off. Try it with a good study manual. If you pass before the class the easier the class will be. I took FM first and then P. P was harder but study manual helped out tremendously.
