Hello everyone. Need your guidance on this. Failed P6 for the 3rd time. Din really finish the syllabus for the last sitting. Thought of switching to P4. So, issit advisable? I mean, which is easier to self-study and pass? P4 or P6? Should i stay with p6 or should i change to p4? I really need to pass this sitting. Please advise me. Thank you very much!

It is possible, ACCA has many entry routes. However, since you have no accounting background, it is unlikely you'll be exempted from any papers. You should check ACCA's web for more info.

just a bit off topic, can anyone tell me the salary for ACCA grad in an  audit firm and in a non audit firm? i feel like i have been offered a really low salary.

Well, for the 7th (yes you read it, 7th!) time I failed P7 as my last paper. Been attempting P7 as my final paper since 2009...

I'll probably request an administrative review and quit ACCA for good to start a proper degree course. Relying my career progression on ACCA has hold me back tremendously since most employer doesn't recognize partial completion and OBU lower 2nd.

I know the encouragement of always not giving up and eventually I'll pass...It just isn't working for me, the 3 years of taking this 'not giving up' attitude (and 3 cases of borderline 49 marks for P7)

Thanks for the ride ACCA....I think I'm just not cut for it...Just tired...

Congratulations to those that pass though 

Hi everyone,
I finished my FIA but I forgot to opt to transfer to the ACCA qualification automatically, so now I need to pay a fee and do it manually, anyone here ever transfered to ACCA qualification manually? Mind to share how you did it?

I don't think anyone can recommend the 'better' lecturer for you. Different lecturers have different teaching method/ style and these different styles suits different students. However, there is a list of recommended lecturers on the first post but I'm not sure whether its up-to-date.

But I'd like to add something, you failed both papers twice, and I assume you were under different lecturers for each of these papers. Have you considered that maybe the reason that caused you to fail wasn't your lecturers and the problem was in fact you? Have you asked yourself why did you fail your papers, was it because you lack preparation? Or wrong study method?

You should check with ACCA Malaysia or email to ACCA UK to get more info

I've been thinking of taking ACCA. I'm currently working. I have no accounting background in both education and work.

No issues as long as you have adequate maths and English.

1. may i know which institution is good and affordable for me to study ACCA on full time basis?

Most are OK. Look for ease of access.

2. to do ACCA, is it essential to have some accounting knowledge? I have none except for my SPM prinsip akaun.

Nope


3. if i enrol to do ACCA full time, how long do i need to register with the institution? 2 years?

You need to register with an institution for 2:years.

Inti has a knowledge level intake at end of March if you want to do full time.

please advise. thanks

Mary-Ant I've got to add that self studying is really more effective than classes. At least for me lol. Most of my classes were skipped lol when I was still in college

thanks.really need that.
where can i find video lec?

Part time student also eligible for book voucher right, I asked my uni earlier they have no idea on book voucher but we r getting the card siswa

A rip off, it's definitely not. I'm here in the UK atm doing ACCA with Kaplan. For F-level papers there are 6 class days whereas P-Level papers, there are 7, plus another 4-5 revision classes. Classes run from 9.30-4.30 on class days, which

is equivalent to 12-14 Malaysia college classes, eg: Kasturi or elitejaya. You get between 8-10 classes less here in the UK compared to Malaysia. Having said that, there is no comparison in terms of quality, Malaysia colleges are miles behind. Here's why:

1. The depth of knowledge UK lecturers possess in their respective fields is outstanding. Fyi, I completed up to F8 in Malaysia, so I've seen quite a few Malaysian lecturers, including good ones such as Sheila and Keith Farmer, Low Chin Ann and Andrew Phang. The biggest disadvantage of the Malaysian lecturers is language and their inability to convey the subject thouroughly, so most of them end up just focussing on the computation parts and simply skimming through the theory without going into detail, although they carry more marks.

2. Malaysian lecturers always over-teach. Last year, in Malaysia I had a lecturer who took 40 classes to finish the syllabus of an F-Level paper and this mind you, is a top lecturer from one of the KL colleges. UK lecturers, never do that because they know exactly which parts of the syllabus are questioned and which aren't as they're markers themselves. M'sian lecturers do not posses this knowledge.

3. The level of off-class support is extensive, and very helpful compared to being non-existent in Malaysia. For example, at kaplan you get access to the online support system called engage through which you have chapter based quizes, progress tests, video recording of classes, external references, pre-revision tests, video tutorials plus a lot more.

Hence, the reason why they're able to complete the syllabus in half the time, have very much higher pass rates and many more prize winners compared to Malaysia. Fyi, kaplan had an avg passing rate of 70% last year, with some papers such as P1 being as high as 98%, in other words, even the class white board could've passed the exams.
Sheila over-teaches, large sections of her notes are completely unnecessary and can be ignored. The syllabus should be your ultimate guide, not her notes. It's the same for her F8 & P1 classes, I've been to both.

LCW, is awesome for F6 & P6, not so in the others. He skims through the theory without explaining properly, so be prepared to do a lot reading by yourself.

Between them both, I'd go for Sheila. She is from the audit line, so is more experienced.

My 2 cents worth with no intentions of disparaging anyone, hope you found it informative.

Source?

Thanks But does it apply to current students?

If you have not passed by the time they implement , it will hit you.




Or only new batch once it is implemented.

wanna ask seniors here...buying gtg textbooks or bpp textbook better?

For previous exams results i believe myacca now has it under your exam report.
As for P1, there shouldn't be much changes.
