Sorry I meant to say I started in March and wrote my exams in June. On top of that I was doing my OBU. And I passed all of them =D

Well, the passing rate is based on the population of all ACCA students on the planet, i strongly believed that the statement is statistically reasonable, unless u are saying all previous students are worse that existing student.

Of course i have no argument that ultimately it still comes back to the individual. There are still 6.4% students who can actually make it (pass 3 P papers in 1 sitting). So the point comes back to how to make yourself to be the top 6.4% ACCA student on the planet. Anyway, my friend did pass 3 P papers in one go before (with 2 resit papers)..

Personally, i think doing so is suicidal, as Ianlee only ask this question in mid Oct 2012~~

This should be a question that should be determined much earlier~~

Lastly, i am not in anyway "predicting results", i am stating the CHANCE of passing 3 papers in 1 go~~

Your statement has no logic at all. You are making 2 wrong assumptions when performing that computation:

First, you assume passing a paper is TOTALLY based on random luck, i.e., every single student has the exact same chance of passing a paper, regardless of intelligence, preparation and language mastery.

Secondly, you assume the events are independent of each other, i.e., passing the first paper does not affect the probability of a student passing the second and the third paper.

A simple question to rebut your statement - if assuming all things are equal, except for the fact that student A studied for 5 months, and student B studied for only 5 days, will both students share the same chance of passing all 3 papers?

I do agree it would be a bit late if Ianlee has not begin any studies though... The last 2 papers are no real tough!

what for?
ACCA has so many papers. Scoring high mark in single paper doesn't really help in your career.

Unless, you are the top affiliate, meaning the last 5 papers (P level) added up having the highest mark in Malaysia/the world. Then you'd be someone special and remarkable.

But comes into work, it's NOTHING AT ALL, unless that's your own family firms, where you have power instantly and will become the successor one day.

I'm a top affiliate.

I won't say it's nothing at all. I do feel I get noticed a lot more.
But yes, people also put higher expectation on me.

Good! Congrats!

But did you clients know about it? Answer is NO.

Unless you set up an own firm or your family is doing in this line.

Then you could hang your photo, certificates and recognition in your office.

If not, all those certs are only well buried in your files and well kept for own reference only.

Thank you for your somewhat sarcastic congratulations.

To donizback,
Please ignore those who pour cold water on you. Winning a prize is a big achievement which will leave an impact on your CV wherever you go, whatever level you're at. Work hard, it's definitely worth it. It pays, by boosting your confidence and recognition.
