Should I take P in January or FM in February?

I am currently facing the dilemma of whether I should take P in January or FM in February. I have never sat for an actuary exam and would prefer to sit for the exam I feel I have a better chance of passing, which is FM at this point. I want to pass an exam as soon as possible but feel that if I took P in January my chances would be less and with the exam fee being $225 ( as a student) dont think this would be a good risk. I have already began studying for exam P and have study materials for both. I'm thinking that passing FM would give me the confidence, as well as the right approach, necessary to pass P later on which is probably the harder exam.



All advice is deeply appreciated!
