Anyone there to guide me please.....
I have covered the entire F8 syllabus, but I am a bit confused on how to start the revision? Should I do the past papers or read a lot of articles and books and note some important point and make summaries of all the chapters??? Or any other way you used?
P.S. I have done almost all the past paper question from the pilot paper until June 2013.

if exam centre chooses help uni but thy dont give u help usually which area or place will thy put u in?

My friend choose Tar college but she was transferred to Help college.
As for me, in December 2012, I choose Sunway uni but was transferred to Monash Uni
I think they will change your center to the nearest one. But Help is always nearly empty so don't worry they won't change your center.

exam docket without photo on it is it ok?or do i need to contact acca

Cover all Pami's question first - from June 2010 onwards then go to Dec2007 onwards, previous examimer questions are being sporadically used. Articles are fine, but examiner report is better.

My docket never have photo, so far still ok

I need advices for p3, how should i study? Since few sylabbus not tested yet and keep doing past years will help me or i just should refer to notes?

Make sure you know your models. The past year just helps you understand the application of the model. Some areas have not come out - read the text and notes for those areas. On that, make sure you understand that that examiner answers are teaching a learning answers and not really exam passing materials.

Try not to aim for the examiner answer as a model to aim for, it is only a guide.

So - read your models and understand them
Next - review past year for understanding application
Finally cover all the articles in ACCA Technical section for P3

Hope that helps

Can share how to study 3 paper in this very short time? Sharing is caring

Well if you are not working, then it shouldn't be a problem for you. Give about 3 to 4 hours to each paper each day and take this approach for the entire November and see how it pans out.
I did the same thing in June 2013 but had 2 papers in that attempt, now I am taking 3 papers and gonna use the same approach.

need help here regarding f5...it may be an easy thing but seriously im confused. when calculating budget profit statement after calculating till contribution for product A, B and C do i minus fixed cost given lets say 10000 on each product of each diff contribution (A - 10000 then B-10000...) or (A+B+C=D-10000) sum all the contribution of the products less the contribution of 10000?cuz the answers will be different using diff methods for profit
how do i know if the question give fixed cost of each product or total cuz the qeustion nt really clear bout it

Focus on key areas rather than try to cover the whole syllabus. Like in P2 Goodwill, NCI, Impairment calculation is a must. There will be a few standards that usually repeat and the ethics question is stable (focus on stable items that usually makes an appearance on the exam and consider spotting the rest)


Seriously you have to read the questions to understand, since each question has a trap. Sometimes it is given as a total and some times it is given as per unit. Logic - fixed cost does not change for volume effects unless it is stepped fixed cost.

In this case, you have to understand the information given and then consider what is asked. If there is a change in volume, like limiting factor decision, you will have to establish the fixed cost in total based on initial budgets and use that for final profit computation, you will not show it per unit any more.

On the other hand, if it is a overhead/pricing question, you will have to work it out per unit and decide on the cost and price.

Usually companies don't adjust their fixed cost per unit - since it is covered by under / over absorb.

In the end - it depends what question you are trying - decision making OR pricing

I take f9, p1 and p3
How? No common area ?

I suggest you to go for Elliot Betts IRC in FTMS. I will say he is the best, no one here in Malaysia comes near to him. I would not really have passed since i focused to much on the Numerical parts of the paper but his 18 hours of teaching made me get 66 in June 2013.

May I know why is he the best in Malaysia? That's a pretty bold claim unless you had studied under all the lecturers in Malaysia, right?
