In what order should I prepare for and take the GMAT, IELTS, and CFA to ensure I meet admission requirements for business master's programs?

Where should I send my CV after my meeting with my LeapScholar counsellor?

Which is more crucial for my chances of getting admitted to a UK master's program: my BCom academic marks or my ACCA paper scores?
