F5, F8, P2 & P3 at once is possible because he does not touch on optional papers. anyway, i feel that taking so many papers at once may not result in 'good' ending. there is no shortcut for ACCA, better think twice before registering for exam, it is not really that easy

The mentor fee is fixed by the colleges themselves ranging from 1k to 4k. And you will be required to pay 85GBP to OBU.

The results will only be out in March or September, depending on which date u submitted the RAP.

Hi,
Can i ask here?

I dont have former accountancy background nor a solid education background.  Interested in ACCA; after reading a lot (i think so) it seems ACCA is something that as long as you put in the effort, you will pass it.

a) should i take spent 20 months doing CIT then proceed on to ACCA? or just jump in ACCA full course?

b) Where can i take the course in Ipoh as part timer? I read and it seems the best option is in Kompas, i failed to locate the building after driving around based on the map; is the institution still available, any other recommended option?
*
it is still there, go straight from Yuk Choy Primary School, turn in left when you see the Esso petrol station then go straight. you will see Institut Kompas on your right

you don't have much option in Ipoh for part time ACCA class. i have to remind you that ACCA is not easy at all especially you don't have accounting background, i do see a lot of peoples stuck half way

F8 is the killer in F papers, P2 is the killer in P papers. Put in more effort next round, don't be too greedy (divert attention) then can pass
QUOTE(notmycupoftea @ Aug 22 2011, 04:14 PM)
do u know why my lecturer said this real life example?
coz the calculation composition in F7 and P2 is completely different.

and, unless the person fails F7 and take F7 and P2 this sitting. if not, learning F7 and P2 at the same time, it's just simply too awesome.

i mean, start learning F7 conso basic in F7 class, then doing P2 conso foreign exchange in P2 class, sure vomit blood XD
*
F7 and P2 are really 2 different levels, P2 is far more detailed and covered more standards. Both also needs a lot of practice and understanding.

In the recent P2 exam, the first question on conso foreign subsidiary is quite easy and as expected by many, the problem with such question is you need time to convert the foreign functional currency to the presentation currency

i pass that 2 killing paper F8 n P2... but y i cant pass P1 n P3... haih~~~

For P1, maybe you don't have sufficient understanding on those risks, ethics and governance principles. seriously there are a lot of principles/theories to study, you don't know which one will come out. i would say that P1 is easy to study but not easy to pass, it will appear easy in exam but the marks scored will not be high. that was what happened on me

For P3, you need to have some common sense and understanding in the business environment/modern business world, then only you can bullsh*t in your answers. if otherwise, it is difficult to write those answers. i would say that P3's syllabus is wider since the business environment is so huge, any industry may come out, those models studied also not easy to apply. as long as you wrote some logic over there, you should be able to score

^^ Thank you, @nothingz.
I guess it's not worthwhile pursuing another qualification to add to one's credentials when that person can also act as company secretary with MIA.

PER is all that matters for now.


Added on August 23, 2011, 1:52 pmOn a side note, is there any fast track entry route for CIMA/ICAEW/CPA AUSTRALIA for ACCA-ers?
*
usually only those who aim to be Audit Firm Partners will pursue so many qualifications. i think you can grant certain exemptions with your current ACCA affiliate status

QUOTE(maggi @ Aug 23 2011, 02:17 PM)
but via this route, our still able to use the title (MAICSA) or without the title?
btw, just wan to clarify one thing with u guys...after passed all the ACCA paper , plus 3 year working experience we can become chartered accountant ? or must we work under a chartered accountant also?  if my boss nt CA then how?
*
you have the title MIA, not MAICSA. MIA is sufficient for signing audit report, act as secretary

for more info, please refer ACCA website, there is further explanation there

i am also not very sure on that area, it's better that you consult those ACCA members. or else you get enrolled with ACCA Platinum or Gold Employer then you can get the ACCA membership easily after completed 3 years of working experience

sorry to say, you can't get OBU anymore since you passed F7 before F4. F4 needs a lot of understanding even though you can memorise it. F9 syllabus is quite wide, if those areas that you are weak come out, then too bad. F8 is no doubt the killer, if you are well prepared then shouldn't be any problem

I passed my P1 at first attempt though just getting an average mark in 50s. I was expecting to fail but was pleasantly surprised to pass instead. So , my instincts tell me that i passed this paper because of the exam techniques i used :

1. APPLY the principles/theories to the questions asked and bringing the exam scenarios into your answers as examples to indicate the application of the principles/theories.

2. ANSWER all parts of the questions - i mean EACH AND EVERY PARTS. Use common sense even if you find the questions difficult.

3. TIME Management is very crucial

4. VERBS - understand what is verb requirement and present your answers fulfilling those verb requirement strictly

5. PRACTICE past year questions - this is a MUST

6. READ Examiner's articles , reports , analysis - there are always helpful

ALl the best to everyone for the coming dec 2011 exams - i have just registered for my exams P3 and P6!!! DEC 2011 .....here i come

*charges ahead with full steam*  cool2.gif
*
1. true, try to introduce the relevant theories first.

2. answer all questions , if don't know then just bullsh*t

3. time management is particularly important so that you won't overspend your time and left with some questions unattended.

4. present answer in simple and understandable english

5. this is a must to pass exam. i did it everytime

6. i seldom read those articles, comments, student accountants, reports etc

therefore i usually pass with 50+ marks only laugh.gif laugh.gif

guys can ask, after i graduate my degree, and exempted 9 papers,
can i straight away continue my studies for ACCA?

means exactly after degree i study the remaining 6 ACCA papers without working.
*
you can register as ACCA student, if exemption is granted, you will have to pay the fees for those exempted papers even though you did not take them. 5 papers then you are done

it's a choice to you.

maybe you could work in the small firm n take 1 paper at a time. some firm allow the staff flexibility to take near to a month - unpaid leave.

that's exactly what i have done in the past, 1 sem 1 paper.... a bit slow but steady

did u manage to finish P3 exam paper?
for me, P3 scenario is longer than any other papers. now examiner added some costing stuff, need to calculate somemore.
so the problem is, P3 students needs to digest and analyse the questions fast, there's no time to hesitate, no time to have blank mind.
therefore, the ability to write fast and neat + no constipation while thinking points are highly important  biggrin.gif

P2, must not let urself be nervous. i was nervous in the exam and forgot to calculate goodwill, then all figures became "cacat" sweat.gif
must prepare thoroughly for ur P2, must read all Exposure Drafts and Discussion Papers mentioned by examiner, then Q4 is yours la biggrin.gif

P4 I'm not sure  tongue.gif
*
it is quite impossible that you can balance your P2 Q1 Conso in such short time, the figures will look weird anyway. just do whatever necessary is enough, it is prone to be mistakes somewhere. some notes which are not understood, such as share based payment, employee's benefit then just ignore the whole part, don't touch it, most marks are awarded for the workings not the final correct figure. in the last sitting, i almost forgot to re-translate the year end foreign subsidiary goodwill but i managed to put in too. just do whatever you know, cannot balance the conso is normal. conso is just part of it, still have a lot of accounting standards and ED to read, understand and apply

for P3, really have to understand those theories, models etc in order to apply in those scenarios. Common sense and knowledge in business would be added advantage. seriously P3 really requires you to think, even after exam, it is hard to predict whether you have passed or failed
