lol agree! I was taught by Ms Pushpa also, as she kept 'singing the song' of the laws in the class, i got through the exam although didn't really memorize hard lol

Dear amber88,

I'm actually an STPM graduate*, the asterisk is because i failed sad to say, went and wasted my 2 years fooling around.. totally my fault!
I understand that ACCA is hyper tough, that's why i made up my mind to do CAT in advance.
I could've chosen TARC diploma cum ACCA, but due to the lack of foundation in accounts, plus not wanting to take the risk of jumping into ACCA so fast, i plan to do CAT 1st, hope i'm making the right choice though

Here's my plan, pls give moreeee advice
CAT in INTI SJ ==> ACCA in KSA or OIC

And amber88,

I totally agree with the grads in edu fair thing u mentioned, i personally find edu fair a nuisance and waste of resources.
Grads should make up their minds on wat to do by doing research online and asking experienced folks around.
Then only should they call up a tuition provider for the course details, not going to some crowded fair whereby some of them are promoters and the true counselors are dead tired and effing busy that they cant provide you with 100% information and help that you TOTALLY need.

And about scholarshipsssss,

again it's my faulttttt -.-
scored 7a's in spm including a1 in accounts, but now they change the scholarship system for the new spm marking system, making my results of a1 a2 useless in scholarship application of inti's..
and i don't think i'm still exempted for that paper *cries in agony

my beloved experienced and working forumers out there..
Is there by any chance some bank loans or company loans i can try out??? Thank you so so so so sooooo much
20k++ might be a fraction of degree courses, but still, it's not exactly a small amount as well ):

i cant find my exemption letter T.T lost it i guess..
May i know more about the malaysian prize of which you mentioned?

oh good good exemption in t1? t1 means paper 1 ah? niceeeeeeeeeeeeee xDD

owh.. 99% and 100%? hard to get de worrr.. ryte?
not impossible ryte?

I would like to ask a question , after completing ACCA and working for 3 years (and becoming a chartered accountant)

What are the job prospects? Working life would definitely be better than working at BIG4 am i right?

I heard alot about the harsh working life at BIG4 from my sister who is a degree holder for accounts and finance.

I'm currently a student enrolled for CAT > ACCA march intake, orientation starts next monday =)

Have you started working, particularly in Big 4, btw?

Let me correct you on that.

Waivers of tuition fees and exam fees are given by the college, as they can use you for their marketing. The most you will get from ACCA is a prize money somewhere between 50-100 pounds, and it's only given for world prizewinners.

For Malaysian prizewinners, sadly you don't get prizemoney from ACCA (not sure about the bronze/silver/gold medallists though).
However, most colleges I know will award you some form of waiver/scholarship/rebate. Sunway for instance gives a 50% waiver of tuition fes and exam fees for Malaysian prize.

-

In order to be a world / malaysian prize, you need to score highest in the world for world prize, highest in malaysia for malaysian prize. Not necessarily a score of 100, since some papers only need about 85 to get highest in the world (which shud give u a good idea how hard the paper is )

Even then, F lvl papers still generally hover between 90-99 marks for world prize
P level tends to be in the areas of 85-99 (with some anomaly such as AFM where prizewinners are in 80s)

Good luck aspiring to be a prizewinner
