Anyone took P2 under Ms.Menon in sunway before?
How was her question style for PT1.
Still finding the technique in answering P1, P2 and P3

Taking F8 from Joey Wong. Love the way he teaches and he is quite friendly too

Not to worry, nothing's gonna happen. Depends on your lecturer whether he/she wana call out your names or not. Even if he/she does, just give your reason.



Usually PT1 from her is fully tested on IFRS theory from F7 & some which she had taught. It comes out in a scenario based question(maybe 1 & half page questions)with lotsa problem for you to spot in the paragraph which u gotta state and give correct treatment and explaination.

F6 got exempted yet passed P6 in first attempt despite the difference in variant. respect respect

Is it doable if take p2,p5&p7 in one sitting? Im fulltime student but i done with my f7 for two years already

doable, P2 accounting standards help in tackling P7 questions
P2 and P7 will take up most of your time to study

Nothing much will happen. In fact, I never attend any of their PTs or mocks.

So how was your result? All passed as you have predicted?

How about p5?

p5 depends on ur understanding of the business models and its application
if you understand the concepts well, it won't take too much tine to study

do more past year questions (more than once for each q) to get familiar with the examiner style and to check whether you answer in accordance with the requirement of the question

need to spend some time on it. remember the passing rate is just 31%.

Currently an alevel graduate and had already make up my mind to do ACCA fundamental alongside with 6 months for degree thingy.instead of degree. But heard people said its hard and not worth a try. May I get some suggestion from you guys thanks.

what kinda suggestion u need?
i jumped to ACCA from A level science stream, I finished my ACCA in 3 yrs like normal people did. You'll be fine. If yoy have the confidence, you can do it. I never thought about doing degree in the first place cause eventually degree holders go after ACCA. Why take detour?

If you can pass A-Levels, then doing ACCA would not be too hard, both have similar exam format - 100% final exams. If you ask the oldies - those in 40's - they would say ACCA is hard. Reason - when it was done prior to 1994, students had to pass the 2nd (6 papers) level one shot. 1994 - 2007, students had to pass the final 6 papers one go in 2 sitting, or else they will have to repeat all the papers.

This all changed in 2007, now it is much more easier in terms of passing and keeping the pass papers. Comparatively ACCA exam system became easier as time passes, they made the papers a bit harder.

On the idea of doing ACCA 9 papers + OBU degree, it is cheaper than doing a 3 + ) degree and much faster, but obviously there is risk.

If you take it slow and steady, 3 + 2 + 2 + 2 + Project, while adding in some practical experience by working part-time in a firm, that would be much better. Alternatively do 3 papers for 6 months, then take 6 months intern job, do another 6 papers in the following 12 months. That would be a good approach too.

Practical experience does open up your mind and also may help you understand your studies better.

Those planning to do F8 this time can consider F8 Re-sit class @ J Pro, which will be starting on September 3. This would also be ideal for those that are also doing CAT T8 paper in Sunway (I know it is one of the killer papers for CAT)

Ok, thanks!

haha Yup both of them passed F7 53%, since I only practiced for the first 3 questions and F9 66%, wasn't expecting to get less than 70s but nevemind at least I passed

Hi everyone, I want some advice from you on how to study F8? I got to know yesterday that a Chinese girl got 82 marks and became Malaysian topper so from that time I am kinda motivated to do something better than her. Any ideas on how to study F8, not to pass it but to score something near to 90s? Thanks in Advance

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.

if a person graduated from accounting, can that person still find job in accounting background without acca?

Scoring high marks improves your confidence and your ego. You may actually take bolder steps in the future since you believe that you can do it!.

Just do it for the sake of it - it can be your personal reward. The job markets - well HR managers can be quickly impressed by one or two big achievements. For degree students - this is called first class honours or dean's list. This students are usually given first priority in HR evaluation. In ACCA we do not have similar matching. Awards from ACCA is like a batch of respect. It does not mean that you will automatically be successful in the future, but it would surely improve your chances of being successful.

So go for it.

To do well in ACCA F8, try to find the book from Alan Lewin the former examiner for F8 from Kaplan. It is really well written and may be able to help you improve your understanding.

On that note, the examiner has already started to repeat the paper from the previous sittings - she is recycling the questions but changing the contents. It would be a good idea to take her questions from the past and try to change the situation.

In the last sitting she repeated the audit procedure question that she had asked for purchases but focused the question on NCA.

Good luck in scoring the world prize.

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.
