im sure this sitting Alex Watt and Lisa Weaver will set it easier because I'm taking both of them

Guys, give me tips for f5&f6!!!
This is my first exam..kind of scared... No confident

I took last sem p5 and p7 as well, failed both at marginal mark.. Haih.. And hopefully this sem easier as u said..

Good luck!!

Guys I want to take accounting course next year. can I know:-

1) to do ACCA, is it that I need to do CAT first and if yes, where can I get the cheapest but good & effective CAT course?
2) where can I get cheap and good ACCA course? I last heard that UTAR provide ACCA course thats not too expensive as well.

If u are bumiputra u can apply uitm.. But im not suggest although i am student there...the fees is really cheap rm450 per sem and if ur result for midterm exam ok they will sponsor u for exam papers fees ...however i heard kasturi is good

1) if not mistaken, the fastest way is to do CAT 1st then u can continue to ACCA with 3 papers exemption(F1-F3)
2) you may refer to 1st post, there have a list of recommended lecturer and where they're teaching for each subject in ACCA, u can go for their classes. But if you prefer to attend all classes in a tuition provider only then there're KSA(Kasturi School of Accountancy, EliteJaya by APEC, FTMS, TARC, Sunway, Orange International etc..

I'm the one taking CAT for the first year then get exemption for f1 f2 f3 in acca, ..
For me, I feel that with cheapest course, definitely they will provide lesser time of lecture and u need more on your own study to properly understand the course. For CAT, maybe u can choose cheapest course which provided by any tuition centre, but till acca , u need put in more effort compared to cat.

ya agree. when it comes to ACCA level, self discipline is very important.
those colleges in KL, the lecturers there won't force or nag u to do homework, u r the one to decide whether u want to suffer now (do all the PYQs or homework) in order to benefit in the exam or vice versa.



wah? you're the vvip of ACCA?

Kasturi is pretty cheap. or can try elitejaya also. both much cheaper than sunway! sunway uni now increase the resource fee from 300 to 400 ..And the tuition fees all also increased already..


BTW, seniors...is it possible to pass f7 based on calculations alone? I hear so many seniors who passed saying just focus on q1,2 and 3 is enough to pass..

the main concentration is on Q1 to Q3 but there are theories in between them, you can't pass without knowing the theories/doing analysis. However Q4 and Q5 may decide whether you pass/fail with marginal marks. Therefore you must try to complete all the questions unless you really don't know how & what to write

im taking p3 p5 p7

i think so
from f5 until p2 ...i think the questions are relatively normal (on easier sides)

it is enough to pass f7 based on 1st 3 questions ... only if you're really good with it
but the theory is there to help u pass
in case the calculation part troubled u

thx thx..
i nearly miss this article..

p2 relatively normal(on easier sides)?
too much to study
retake the subject...sighh!~~

i mean on my sittings

the conso part
not difficult
maybe theories part abit hard

as for the section B
i think quite ok oso la for last sitting
IFRS 9 came out as predicted

last round was predictable but not this time. as for Q1, we don't know what will come out this time since SOFP came out in the last sitting, this time may be SOFP again or SOCI or combo. most likely not SOCF

yeah, i agree. last sitting was predictable. i was unable to complete some questions in Section B

i dun think it would be a combo unless lesser adjustments. i think as an examiner, they would test us on standards, rather than technique of conso.

just study our best.

Collectively P2 is one of the easier papers, it boils down to the amount of time you spend to cover the voluminous syllabus.

i would say the key to pass p2 is on section B and section A's theory

no matter how perfect u can do ur financial statements

u cant pass without doing good in section B

candidates usually wasted too much time on f/s and neglected other marks

im now in last 3 papers..n i hate calculations more now ...

low marks but alot of steps to calculate...

Added on December 1, 2011, 6:01 pmmaybe it's time to group structure conso with increase/decrease in shareholdins

they will test ur standards 99 in section b along with scenarios

Relax guys, p1-p3 passing rates are 50%. not hard at all.

I passed my f7 by doing q1 to q3 only.. I get 58 out of 75 if I not mistaken. Hehe
