I do pyq usually 1 month before final
But Now already start after finish 1 topic then doing pyq in revision kit

So now CAT can apply for PTPTN d?

Last time i apply around year 2010
Not sure now still can apply or not

I don't think ACCA is equal to a degree, It is a professional qualification so it doesn't come under any degree, this is what i guess.
By the way if you really wanna get a degree then go for ICAEW after doing ACCA, ICAEW is considered a Degree.

Actually CAT is a diploma, since students who complete it is given 1 year exemption in UK accounting degree. In Malaysia it is not accepted for anything other than moving into ACCA.

ACCA F level is considered equal to a degree since Oxford Brookes University in UK is involved vetting the qualification for Degree. You will get the BSc (Hons) Applied Accounting once you have finished all 9 papers at F level.

The P Level is assessed at Masters level in UK, you can get a Masters by doing a top up after the P level.

Obviously the Malaysian system does not take into account what UK does since our system is way more superior and advance . The Malaysian education framework system has yet to appreciate the academic vigor and requirements of ACCA yet, which lead to no points being awarded.

In this case, ACCA is not recognised for PTPN loans.

Hope that helps

Hey frodo, may I know more info about getting a Masters after ACCA? Is the Masters offered anywhere in Malaysia or only in the UK?

oh.I was worried when I try to do f6pyq and my mind just went blank.haiz.

But im now with ptptn loans
Waiting for mara to approve my loan then stop taking ptptn

U means acca lower than degree?
After finish F paper just apply OBU already have degree ( just need to submit research)
And i thought ICAEW higher than degree coz my senior take icaew , he from degree scholar
If u finish acca and have working experience for 5 years can apply for Pathway membership to icaew

For f6 my lecturer always give us pyq question to practices in the class
But f6 mostly about u , pyq and text book
And feels blank during doing pyq is normal
Im also blank looking at p3 questions at first but need to force myself doing it

year 2010..about the same time I started CAT then.. That time my college and lyn-ers told me that PTPTN does not recognise CAT/ACCA. Did some research and end up with the same answer.
How you got it??

Not really remember it, just fill some form and que at the meeting from morning till night (inefficient) to submit my form
But u can call ptptn hotline..
Im sorry i really dont remember how at first i did, just remember i need to que

haha it's okie. thanks

Seriously this is not true!!!!! Professional is rated higher than a degree for the final level. ICEAW and ACCA is the same - both are professional qualification and not a degree.

If you want a degree also, then do ACCA, since you get both a degree and professional. ICEAW only gets you professional and no degree.

It is possible to only get the Masters in UK, not in Malaysia. Sorry about that.

By the way, anyone interested in F6 (UK) revision - found a very senior ACCA lecturer that is willing to do a 2 day - 16 hours revision for RM350 in Nov 16 and 17. Those interested in this can PM me about it, will co-ordinate with the lecturer. If there is 5 students it is good to go.

Stupid statement~~
do u know any degree holder who graduate from a "qualified accounting or business degree" only gets a maximum of 9 papers exemption for ACCA? if you wanna become a pro in the field u will still need to take 5 papers and 3 years of experience~~

ICAEW is no different than ACCA as it is also a professional qualification...just that the study and working experience requirement is a different from ACCA~~and that it gives the privilege of becoming UK's Chartered Accountant directly after finish the course and the working experience requirement~~~

Do some research before giving such funny statement plz~~

To some people:

Degree > professional qualification
ICAEW is not a professional qualification

Isn't the world a wonderful place with all sorts of people with different beliefs?

As I know...

ACCA = Degree + Professional Qualification..

Yes I think many people out there have weird belief systems - mostly due to lack of internet research and also lack of industrial exposure.

In this weird world of accountancy, many belief that getting a masters is actually better than getting a professional qualification

Which is better in law - getting CLP or getting a Masters in Law after you complete your Degree in Law?

Only if you take their OBU programme.

may i know if i want to take ACCA , and i have a degree in BA from UTAR, how many papers i need to take and what are the papers exempted?

also any tuition centre which is reputable with minimum fee?

thank you very much
