May I ask if anyone here has exam questions and answers for *F7 in year 2001?

Thank you.

*F7 was known as Paper 2.5 Financial Reporting then

I have registered 3 exams for the ACCA December 2010 sitting via myacca and have paid all the examination fees. However, I would like to drop one of the papers that I have registered in this sitting and will be attempting it in June 2011.Just wondering if ACCA would forfeit the exam fee that I have paid for this paper, or they would allow me to bring forward it to the next sitting?

Anyone of you have similar experience? Thank you.

For paper-based F2 exam, should I fill in the answer sheet with black ball pen or pencil?

Besides Low Chin Ann and Ms Sunita, are there any other lecturers who are good in teaching F2?

How about lecturers from Kasturi?

Has anyone attended Dr Tee Chai Hong class for F2 before? Any comments on his lecture?

How about Ms Chang Shew Leng? Both of them are teaching in Kasturi for the January 2011 intake, but in different branches.

Just wondering which lecturer has more experience and teach better.

Appreciate your comments.

Mr Low Chin Ann from KB is teaching F5 for July 2011. Has anyone attended his F5 class before? Is he good in teaching F5 in terms of calculation and theory?

Thanks

For F5

Low Chin Ann or Ian Lim or Andrew Pang?

For F7

Keith Farmer or Navzar Tara?


I humbly seek for all the seniors' advice regarding the lecturers for the above subjects.

Thank you so much!

Very desperate as courses starting soon.

F7 has 5 questions.

Joe Fang is good for Q1, Q2, and Q3.

Q1 is consol. Q2 is PA. Q3 is cashflow and/or ratio analysis.

Q4 and Q5 are more to theory based and usually unique.

Pros

Rote learning that will get you some confidence.

Unique techniques that doesn't involve any T-accounts.

Speedy exam techniques.

Cons

Theory and calculation explanations are often vague and inadequate.

Examiner might twist the question and thus you will get caught during exam.

Doesn't cover the IAS's in detail.

Conclusion: You might want to try Joe Fang as a supplement to a core lecturer.
I'm looking for recommendations for other lecturers such as Navzar or Keith.

Mr Yap Kok Wah: never attended therefore no comment.

Hope this helps.

can i use the diploma cert to enter other business course eg finance ?

anyone know the exam fees of FIA?
is that necessary to get tution from a college only can take the exam ?

CAT is replaced by FIA.

If previously you could apply using CAT for a finance degree, rationally you should be able to do the same.

But FIA is so new and virtually unknown so i'm not too sure if the current education institutions would be so receptive.

Furthermore FIA is only 3 subjects as compared with a typical business foundation program which has twice or three times as much subjects.

The only certification to apply for a finance degree with an equivalent amount of subjects would be probably the A'levels certification atm.

Or even better go meet one of their student counselors or admin staff and let them explain to you.

They are more competent i suppose.

Added on June 26, 2011, 2:53 amWhen you are ACCA associate member automatically you will be member of MIA atm. Therefore the key thing atm would be to be an associate member of ACCA.

I guess that previous experience can be considered but you must start reporting it to them (i.e. ACCA) while studying otherwise it won't count.

Added on June 26, 2011, 3:03 amYou don't need add.maths at all because you only need to know the basic BDMAS (i.e. Bracket, Division, Multi, Addition, Subtract), basic algebra, basic simulataneous equations, basic graphs and basic straight line/curve equations.

It's accounting not engineering.

Basically if you are at least a B in SPM modern maths; you will do just fine.

Yes its difficult to complete it within duration unless either you are very smart (i.e. straight A's implying good foundation) or you are very hardworking (i.e. good study habits).

Normally both of those two criterias are positively correlated.

If you are not smart but you are hardworking; its ok because its never too late.

If you are hardworking but still find trouble; just get the right help (i.e. good lecturer) and you will be fine.

The fastest possible time you could complete ACCA 14 papers is 4+4+4+2 subjects without failing would be 2 years (ie. 4 sittings).

Max 4 papers per sitting.

The average time would be 3+3+3+3+2 subjects which would take 2.5 years (i.e. 5 sittings). This option has leverage for failing.

More failings which is a norm in ACCA would evidently delay graduation.

B student or not is just one constraint; they are other factors for consideration (i.e. single working mum).

More constraints would also delay graduation.

Goal is to minimize constraints and failings.

The generic answer would be to take up the bachelor's first and take ACCA later as you will get full exemptions anyways.

Bachelor Acc & Fin then ACCA

Pro's
Build up your maturity, study habits and foundation
Better insurance policy as degrees are relatively easier
Full exemptions

Cons
Longer duration (but usually a myth as ACCA would take you as long in average; no hard facts to support this claim)
More expensive (depending on your degree tuition; ie overseas)

This would be a generic pro and con schedule in support of that position. Likewise you can build up your own schedule and decide what factors are pertinent to your situation and then decide what is best for you in your current circumstance.

Each individual has a unique set of circumstances therefore you are your best judge in deciding what is best for you.

Its your future not mine; you should decide what is best for you and not anyone else because in the end you live your own life.
