First of all, scarlets, let me apologise on behalf of the respondents on here who are, quite frankly, too accommodating of your insane proposal.
CA1, ST1 and ST2 in one sitting? Do you have an eidetic memory or something? Ridiculous! And such thoughts should be immediately purged from your mind.
That load is equivalent to maybe 6 CTs in total page count, and that's not even the whole story. To have a decent chance of passing the later exams you not only need to have a thorough understanding of the reading, but you must have a vivid recollection of it as well. Which is the harder because there isn't much math, and a page of math requires much less time to process than a page of purely sentences, especially during revision.
Consider CT6 (which you took). A long chapter is Run-off
Triangles. Thing is, though, for the exam you just really need to undertand the methods explained. Say that takes 6 hours. How long do you think it would take to do the chapter if in addition you were expected to be able to reproduce the text of the chapter in the exam? Exactly. And this stuff would need to be re-read frequently and in entirety if you are to remember most of it on exam day.
Like somebody said, do your CA1 and see how that goes. I'd say you can add ST1 but only with the understanding it will be ruthlessly discarded if it any way compromises the necessarily frequent revisions of CA1 material.
Or do ST1 and ST2, with SA2 in the role of ST1 above.
Do you work, by the way, and were you exempted from some CTs?
PS: Bookmark this thread. A year, year and a half from now you can come back to it and laugh at yourself for once having had such silly thoughts.
