Paper combinations
Do I have to pass ICAG subjects in a particular combination?
No. Within one level, ICAG does not require you to pass a fixed combination of subjects together.
For subjects within the same level of the current ICAG qualification.

Choosing papers within one level
You can build up your passes within a level without completing a prescribed pair or set of named subjects. The syllabus does not require one paper to be passed together with another paper in the same level.
That freedom does not automatically let you move to the next programme of study or mix papers from different levels in one examination entry.
When planning your next sitting, first identify the papers left in your current level. Then check the syllabus progression rule and the official ICAG notice for that sitting before adding anything from another level.
Example
If two papers remain in your current level, the syllabus does not require them to be passed as a prescribed pair. That freedom does not, by itself, give you permission to add a paper from the next level.
The flexibility applies only within a level. Different rules apply when you want to add papers from another level.
