I personally found it better to do the manual exam first , because 1) you're in the mindset of a manual bookkeepr currently, and 2) you learn the level 2 concepts manually before you start to put them into practice on a computer.
I upgraded straight away to Affiliate, and then again to Associate when I'd completed level 2, but I'm not sure that there were any advantages to it.
Good luck with your studies!
