However, every passed paper remains valid for <strong>five years<\/strong>, so you must clear all remaining subjects within that period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That means there\u2019s flexibility \u2014 but you still need discipline and planning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Common Myths Busted<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s debunk some popular misconceptions:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><em>Myth:<\/em> \u201cYou only get one attempt.\u201d<br><em>Truth:<\/em> There\u2019s no cap on attempts.
