if it is a third class degree, better don't do since you are not going to impress your interviewer

will acca refund for double payment for exam fees using different credit card?

call acca malaysia. I heard a lot of people got double charged.

You may also need to write to Acca connect and tell them.

Anyone here taking f5 and f6? Or have notes? Tips maybe?

anybody here took part in DTC??

Hi all, i need some advice here regarding F4(MY variant).
1) Do we need to memorise all the sections numbers/ article number in an act or law to answer for exam?
2) How about the law name itself? As in Employment Law 1955, Contract Act 1950 etc.

The reason i am asking this is because my lecturer keep stressing us to memorise the sections numbers to provide it during your answer's explanation.　But i just realised from one of my friend who passed F4 last sem that he didn't quote any section numbers in his answer and that the numbers is not so important as stressed by my lecturer.
thanks in advance

Memorizing sections might get you additional marks. The good thing about F4 is that the questions are repeated multiple times (not sure of the current trend), so you will be able to note certain sections that are actually tested quite often, memorize those Acts and sections.

I didn't mention much about sections when I sat for the exams, still marginally passed...

hi I would like to get the diploma in FIA
is that compulsory to attempt the introductory cert and intermediate cert 1st?
i am a spm leaver

1. u should rmb some important section/ article number(listen to ur lecturer).. u refer to past year ques and wil find some ques test repeat and repeat..
2. law name, sometimes ques also got..

1) you keep on revise the past year questions before your exam, i bet you can write those sections number out during your exam.
2) yes, you have state which act are you referring to when you quote those sections

afterall, if you are not aiming for Malaysia/World prize, you need not memorise all those sections, name of the court case etc

a 3rd grade OBU really mean nothing?

possible to apply for job using just a 3rd grade OBU?

As i heard, OBU degree is not recognised by our MQA. Only a few employer recognise OBU as a degree.
I heard from earnst and young that they would hire a student with OBU only on the condition they have to continue to finish their acca.So,OBU by itself is pretty much useless if you completed your ACCA. However, if you failed to complete your ACCA, then maybe with a OBU degree it might be useful( at least you have a degree).

It is possible. However you would have to compensate the low grade degree with substantial involvement in co-curricular activities.

I believe big firms want an all rounded person, you would have to explain about your 3rd class degree if given the chance for an interview.

Maybe you just broke off a 10 year relationship (not preferable ), or maybe you were representing your country for some kind of sports, family condition etc to make the employers close one eye on your education.

However, if you are an ACCA straight passer but with marks within the 50% region all the time, then that's another story to tell.

you have to at least understand those theories and the logic of it so that it is easier for you to write it out during exam. it is impossible that you can memorise the whole syllabus and write it out during exam. somemore few questions are case study, you need to apply it into the case too. Past year questions are no doubt the best for revision purpose, you should write your answers that way in exam

thanks

is the marks of ur papers important?

for job interview in the future?

is it a good news or a bad news for a straight passer like that? especially when few core papers only scored ngam ngam 50

i'm somewhat reluctant to show my passing grade to my potential employer

you're not alone. but in the ACCA cert there will be pass only right? haha.
