I m old student lo.

I fail the core papers lo. (left 2 core papers)...

Optional papers, all pass already.

No regret...

why not retry again?

core papers are not that hard now ...I guess

tell u the truth, I fail numerous times.... I think got 4 times lo.

我的字典里没有放弃，因为已锁定你。

i got friends who failed CAT T5 Managing People 9 times, F8 more than 5 times. yours is small case only.

Thanks to everyone who gave advice but I just don't understand why acca is so valuable, like there are some people who re-sit and re-sit again. Is it really that good? Do acca graduates really get higher pay or better chances of promotion compared to masters graduate? Coz that's what all colleges will say but dunno if it's true or not.

Woah 4 times only and you quit ah? But I guess some people are like that..My friend taking P6 and P7 failed both with 49 marks after that he got phobia for ACCA exams..he couldn't go for the finals even though he already paid for them..

Some people just keep continuing on and on for many years. My friend's cousin just passed his last paper (P4) after so many years. He's almost 30 years old.

Hmm, from what I heard..ACCA professional papers is on par with masters..But in the working world ACCA graduates would have the edge (correct me if I'm wrong)..

But really, just do your best..For the F level, I had no clue what was going on most of the time especially for papers F4, F7, F8. But I took 2 by 2 and managed to scrape through the F level

I attempt like below:
F4 and F5
F6 and F7(drop)
F7 and F8(fail both)
F7, F8, F9, P1

Out of all the F papers, you're taking 2 of the toughest papers IMO..Maybe that's why you feel so stressed..Also, exam is nearing that's why stress level increase..I also always feel like quitting ACCA the following sem when nearing exams. Pre-exam blues

When I was taking F4 I had decided to quit ACCA just one month before exams because I didn't know a single thing other than the words "offer and acceptance". Can you imagine I scored 0.5marks (rounded up to 1mark ) for mock exam?? Somehow managed to pass in the end. F5 to me was easy so I had time to focus on F4. There's still plenty of time..I only started studying F4 about 2 weeks to exams(I don't recommend this) by auditing past year Q..

God!!! u're studying full time?? my problem is my English sux so it's hard for me to express what i understand. and i also didn't know a single thing about F4 and only managed to get 28 marks in my class with clues given by lecturer lol. But it's better now after weeks of memorizing past year papers. The feeling of unprepared for exam really get me feel blues.
I feel F5 is easy but i am just scared of some things i didn't give attention will come out in the final exam ZZzz
So you now have already passed ACCA??

Nope..I'm doing P2 and P3.. Getting the blues again

Don't worry..Just try your best for both papers.. Since your F5 okay then put more effort into F4. Still have 1 month to study F4 I'm the worse at memorizing stuff..But I managed to go from 0.5 -> 50..If someone like me can pass, everyone else should be able to

hello. got 4 weeks some more how can say wanna give up? if already pay for exams just take it laa.. its a friggin 80 GBP per paper mang!

actually i'm taking another paper F6 but i've decided to give up because i really feel that i'm short of time. I also hate memorizing stuff. After memorizing somehow will forget then have up memorize again the same things.

Yea, sometimes it might be a good idea to let go one for the benefit of the other. Like me, take just 2 papers f6 and F7 but i drop F7 and just passed 1 paper that sem

Dear P2 candidates,

If you have any tips (hot topics) from your lecturer, please share with me so that i can focus more on that particular area

Sharing is caring

it's like to court death when you neglect certain areas in p2

cos it may ask multiple standards in 1 question

so read all !!

i din neglect la, juz wan focus more on hot topics

i regret my first seating so badly becoz i only focused on calculations a lot more than standards.

for 2nd seating p2, i thought its gonna be better becoz in anyway i had to study all standards for p7 as well.

so during paper, i knew my calculations sucked anyways(never balance) but i was confident with standards.

wrote everything i could and finished all the questions. guess what, most of the standard questions came out from bpp exam kit

sadly i only peek2 a bit, but still remember few things. so answer like photostat machine la.

got 58.. ahahaha study 4 days only for p2 coz p2 was 2nd week. i tot p2 burn already.

ayam pretty confident ias 12 gonna come out dis time.. its been too long..

also interesting thing to note is,

calculations now only 30% from whole paper.. others all writing! (if u neglect the part b question, dont choose the kira2 one la )

wow! envy!

I am planning to bang on standards too. By the way, i only have kaplan revision kit. Do u think it is good enough?

are there any additional stuff to study on P4 other than what's in the syllabus?
