No you cannot. Either f7,8,9 + p1 / f7,8,9 only. What's wrong with the examinations being 3 days consecutively anyway ?

Anything to back that up ?

aiya they all accountants study acca so long d dunno what's VFM meh, takkan pass in uk your acca cert nicer meh ?

HAHAHA i think he reads this forum occasionally as well.

lol it's people like you guys who crash the damn server, then you complain acca not giving you value for your subscription fees

I feel that external reading helped me a lot. You can only get that much from theory, the rest is up to your common and business sense.

You studied ACCA, you do the cost/benefit analysis. Why pay more when you can get the same for less ? Plus, UK is an expensive country to live in. Try getting a NZ/AUD working holiday visa if you are that keen on travelling.

Don't choose P6 next time, it has shit loads of stuff to remember.

Don't be discouraged by what i said. It is an interesting paper, and it is not hard (concept-wise), just that you have a lot to remember.

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

Anyone took P4 today ?

For P4,

Q2 and Q4 is pretty standard. If you did BPP's revision kit you would have came across similar questions. Do agree that Q1 has A LOT of calculations though, i finished Q1 by 4.50pm -.-""

Edit: What did Q2 said about basis risk ? I didn't read properly, did it say assume no basis risk and basis will decrease linearly to zero ?

Spend reading time doing Q1 as well. Poor time management on my part.
Practice helps a lot i guess. For Q4, did the debt/equity ratio breach the covenant ? Mine didn't , and i was like f*** it, no time to check already, then hentam the part C.

just as i thought ! My classmates got confused between basis and basis risk

obvious troll is obvious.

P6 predictions :

Q1 : Contract r&d, pioneer/ita
Q2: RPGT Para 3b with settlement as sub question

Q3-Q5
Investment Holding Company
IPC/OHQ/RDC
penalties on tax evasion ?

Good luck everyone !

I don't like Section A, not very confident for Q2 the report part. Q4 was slam dunk , Q5 doable but not too easy also

Q3 is pretty weird-ish for me. the cost for share options. so tembak q5 better la

wah dei can't log in, no email

job well done.

Took p4 and p6, passed both.

I would definitely recommend P4 if you can understand the key concepts and you don't like to memorise stuff. There are only a few key concepts to remember and you need to be able to link them well and use all of them. In addition to that, you need to have good business sense (being good at talking cock), and you're set for P4 !

The thing about the P6 examiner is that she's a bit weird. The questions from last sitting were quite general imo. For the whole paper , there wasn't much calculations, probably about 80% was writing. You need to grasp the theories behind taxation quite well. After seeing the questions, i thought the answers would be complicated, but they were simpler than i thought.
