i agree to this since if you are not well prepared, you won't even know how to answer those questions. It does not matter how lucky you are. lets say you can run away from F7, can you be lucky at P2 again? laugh.gif laugh.gif

although sometimes i will still say that i am lucky because those topics that i don't know usually won't come out but those topics may consist of 10% of the syllabus

Need advices from fellow seniors, I had decided to go for P6, but struggling to make a choice between P4 and P5 for dec 2012 examination. Currently my institution is opened for pre-enrollment.

I was told that P5 is getting more harder to pass in the exam since the recent change of the examiner, and I know that P5 includes some elements of P3? For which I hate remembering models tongue.gif

However, I only got 50% for my F9 in previous exam, this is the main reason that I dare not to choose P4 after considering the difficulty to pass P5 exam nowadays.

Please advice. yawn.gif and, will my choice between these two papers restricts my future career? Which's better combination between P4&6/P5&6?

Thanks in advance smile.gif

why not P7? it is not really that difficult to study but also not easy to pass la. better future prospect if you take P6 + P7. Big 4 will encourage employees to take P6 + P7

for me, the best combination is P4 + P7. P4 will help you understand the financial market better, you can do your own investment as well. taking P7 will add more value on your CV, easier for you to gain membership to MIA as well

i got 63 for F9 but i dare not take P4 because of previous comments here, some seniors said P4 is very difficult. I got 2 friends retake in December 2011 (they passed), i know it is not easy therefore i chose P5. I thought P5 is easy but never thought after change of examiner, it has become more theoretical, a lot of analysis/application, less calculation. i managed to pass at first attempt too.

the P6 you study has covered most of the Income Tax Act 1967 but certain practical matters still not covered inside and case laws are not included. Chartered Tax Institute of Malaysia (CTIM) tax papers have 2 parts, 1 of it is specifically test on tax law cases, that really makes you specialise in tax. one more disadvantage of taking P6 is it is not applicable when you work overseas since different country has different tax laws. this is also a reason why i did not take P6. overall if you like tax, you can take P6

out of the 4, my first choice will definitely be P7

CTIM is a professional body in Malaysia specialises in Malaysia tax, i am unsure how to enroll to their course, you may google for more information. as i know, their exam is only 1 year once in December. If you really want to be a tax specialist then you can consider taking those papers after passing ACCA

Never tought of taking P7 because I don't have much confidence to study audit again, I heard P7 is combination of IASs and ISAs, I don't think I can manage both of those standards sad.gif Like my friend, she feels audit is ok for her, so she can easily decided to take P6&7..

You got quite good mark but you didn't give P4 a try tongue.gif Refer to your previous comment, does that means P4 is more useful than P5 in real life?

PS: thanks for the advice
