OMg coolly,can complete both in 3 years,really fast.
HOw come u take ICSA?After u take ACCA,we can become company secretary without taking ICSA.
ANy tips to pass??i hav2 resit 2.4,3.2 and 3.4 in june.I think ill be going revision class.Is it advisable?
Omg,my college now studying corepapers,how can i concentrate 6papers
hello,
many had asked me why go to take ICSA....
frankly tell you,there is no specific reason,the most obvious reason is i am thinking not going to work as soon after i graduate from ACCA,i need sometime to switch from study to working,so i use the half year to study and prepare myself to work.
I know that without ICSA i can become company secretary also,but i personally think that even though i can do that,it is good for me to gain extra knowledge,so study ICSA is just for knowledge purpose......
about the tips to pass,i think the key will be pay attention in the class and also study consistently,it is easy to say but sometimes it is not easy to do,i am willing to share with you more about study if you willing to...
about your resit,what i can share is 2.4 is the paper having the lowest passing rate in all the paper of ACAC,i think in order to pass this paper,you need to have a well balance in the theory and calculation parts,purely relying on calculation will lead you to failure....so you must have the ability to write out the theory part and also watch your time management....beside that,you must first master the key topics in 2.4 before proceeding to study other part...
for the paper 3.2,it is a part 3 paper and it requires high skill of application and also flexibility.Richard Thornton now tend to focus more on tax planning and also tend to come out with more theory questions compare to the calculation part,so this is why you need to know the topics well and also able to apply what you learnt in the question.If you are taking up Kwai Fatt's class,i believe you can understand what i meant....
I did not take up 3.4,so i have no study tips for you particularly for this papers,but i have gone through the theory papers also,so i would suggest know what you are studying,try to understand what is required by the examiner...give what the examiner's want,not what you know is important..
i would strongly recommend you to sign up for the revision class,but in order for the revision class to be effective,you must be fully prepared before going for the class,going for the revision class with the attitude like attending normal class is just no use and won't help you much,use the revision class as a self review exercise,to check what you know and don't know and also use the remaining time before the exam to improve your knowledge on the topic you don't know.A good revision will help you to consolidate your knowledge and make you be more focus and confident.
you are not going to sit for the core papers class in the coming sitting,so in my opinion,there is no use to concentrate on the core papers at this moment.I would suggest you 2 ways:
first,defer your core papers class till the next semester and concentrate on your 3 papers now,there are so many things that you need to study especially in this few months time,you need to do a lot of practices especially on the 2.4 and 3.2.
another option will be continue attending the class and also try to record it up,and refer them again in the next semester,after your class,study about the 3 papers and keep the core papers aside....you are not sitting exam for 6 papers,so there is not necessary to concentrate on 6 papers,just try to focus on the 3 papers that you are going to sit in this coming june.
the above is just my opinion,so if you have any question,i would glad to help you out,...all the best...
