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.

do not understand y u do alevel at the first place. unless u unsure what to study then its ok

y dun try to apply to reputable universities like LSE n monash?
in the end u may end up doing ICAEW instead of ACCA

hi. i'm new here.. i took f8 and f9 this semester (i failed both last sitting) so i'll re-sit these papers.. f8 i think i can do self-study but for f9 i want to take class..can you guys recommend which lecturer is good?

i heard andrew pang from kasturi is very fast and did not focus on the theory much..i prefer max yong but eventually he stopped teaching at kasturi..so can you guys suggest/recommend anyone else who teaches f9 which is good??

thank you..

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.

Getting High Marks might not be anything to you but it is for me. At least we get noticed by more than half the population of Malaysia.

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. nod.gif  thumbup.gif

Thanks sir, Will buy Alan Lewis book and will try my best this time.
I hope I can do something special blush.gif

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.

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.

oic, thanks so so so so much for ur info. Really appreciate it man.

QUOTE(nick67 @ Aug 18 2013, 07:27 PM)
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?  thumbup.gif

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.

Thank you so much sir for motivating me even more. I am trying my best now, i guess 82 is not a difficult record to break coz i have starting study for like 8 to 9 hours each day for f8. Any recommendation since you are also a top affiliate? By the way which paper are you a topper in?

Don't worry about it. Out of 49, only 3 of my classmate pursuing ACCA including me. But all get job right after graduating. Some even before graduating. For your information i'm not graduating from those top local uni though smile.gif so don't worry to much, just get a good result.
