Totally agree with PJW. Systems and safety engineering are ideal for modules 1 & 7. Dependant upon your knowledge, the hardcore design modules may not be the ideal candidates to sit. Try reading all seven module's past papers and see what makes sense to you or where you feel totally overwhelmed. For example, I understand the principles of modules 4 & 6 but know my knowledge would fail to get a pass if I sat them.
The trick with the IRSE Exam is:
1) Identify what you need to know for each module;
2) Study hard for as long as is possible and get vocational experience if you can;
3) Ask on the forum for help;
4) The Exam is taxing but not hard if you've prepared well, answer the question asked (reading time is very handy to re-read questions to ensure you truly understand and the questions next part of a question tends to be based upon the answer of the last [top tip]) and use exam technique to maximise your efforts.
