Hi , i really need help.

The problem is i want to quit acca now, yea just right before the june exam. I'm doing F4 and F7 right now.

I know i can't get my fees refunded anymore but can i still get back the exam fees that i paid to acca?

Seriously, its just that i can't stand acca any more. its like a high pressure and high stress course, and the fact that the syllabus is so incredibly huge. Also, acca doesn't teach you anything other than how to become an accountant. I feel like i'm losing my soul lol

haha true, but acca is no fun. i don't want to spend my twenties wasting away on acca.

Thanks to everyone who gave advice but I just don't understand why acca is so valuable, like there are some people who re-sit and re-sit again. Is it really that good? Do acca graduates really get higher pay or better chances of promotion compared to masters graduate? Coz that's what all colleges will say but dunno if it's true or not.

Are u taking F4 as well? Heh i totally understand...its difficult enough trying to memorise my notes from the 1st term.

Btw, is anyone taking F7?? I just had my last revision class for F7 and my lecturer did not give any tips or a few chapters to focus on...

Yea, i'll be doing the same thing as u for revision. Law just has too many things to memorise,gotta remember the case, some more got so many names...

And yea, my lecturer did teach partnership,why?Is it a focus for this sitting? I forgot but are we allowed to write our answers in point form?

Added on May 18, 2012, 4:08 pmLol get off your high horse la...i do not advocate just relying on tips alone but giving students the important chapters to focus on helps a lot. I find it strange how u say this but assert that somehow ''luck'' plays a huge part in whether u pass the paper.

Very solid advice there

But the truth is, acca syllabus is really huge. To study every chapter and continuously pay attention takes really serious dedication.

I'm not even sure if there's enough time now to revise all the chapters and manage to retain everything for the exam. Thats why ask for tips for important chapters. Haiz...sucks to be an acca student T.T

Not partnership, my lecturer asked us to study loan capital and company formation. Don't know if its reliable or not.

I don't understand what u mean, are u saying that agency would be coming out?

I know, i totally neglected my F7, i don't know how to do the adjustments Considering dropping F7 to concentrate on F4 entirely.

Oh my gawd.....I'm doing my questions from the F7 bpp kit right now, and I'm so freaked out la...I don't know what is going on with the adjustments, Every questions adjustment is totally different than the previous. It's confusing. Would it be a good option to drop the exam or continue revising until next month?

Hmm..i thought that i could do both papers..but now i think i might have to drop F7 for good, the exam date is coming so fast, actually quite worried coz the adjustments for F7 is extensive and rather complicated. Scared i can't catch up studying for both papers.

I think i better put full concentration on passing F4 instead.

Can i just say, you were spot on with how condescending he was. I have been wondering from day 1 why anyone has tolerated his comments.

If you're referring me at least reply directly to me ok? Don't resort to your passive aggressive manner of not replying directly to me, its cowardly. Its like wanting to insult someone but not wanting to take responsibility for your own words. Sometimes your posts are just plain disrespectful.

I don't get you at all, you do behave like such a jerk on this thread. Do you have the ability to stop for one second and rephrase your words so that you are not misunderstood as a jerk, or you just are. I remember the first time i posted on this acca thread being really upset after failing and then you responded with a smiley face claiming how you were a ''lucky'' acca student, rubbing salt into my wound.

I think this thread is for acca students to give advice, discuss, share each others frustrations, give support etc. No one needs your high and mighty judgement here. Frankly, i don't find your comments helpful, you only want to criticize with your cynical and sarcastic remarks. So from now on, although anyone can post, i am telling you are NOT WELCOME to reply/respond to any of my posts. Please and thank you

Added on May 22, 2012, 12:15 pmnope chiahau, i didn't miss that.

I have to tell you something, what do you even know about me? You're just some guy who jumped to your own conclusions at my predicament, not knowing what actually happened to me or such. Dropping papers due to insecurity? there you go with jumping into your own conclusions.

And yes, i want to drop one paper, big deal, plenty of people do it you know, nobody needs your mean spirited judgement here. If you even have one ounce of good intentions you didn't show it, ok, with your insulting words that you chose.

This reply is to the person who feels that they are the person mentioned???at least have the guts to reply to me, coward. You even quoted my reply for gods sakes. You can save it with your fake "nice act" here. It sounds like you want to make peace here but by telling me it was my inability to study beforehand and I shouldn't complain??Like I said,this thread is for ppl to share frustrations etc. If you don't like it don't hang out here. You're just a casual observer, moreover this is your first post here. You do admit you don't have good intentions, and you honestly judged me like I was a piece of garbage, I haven't had anyone been so disrespectful and offend me as low as you have. You like feeling superior, mocking ppl huh and I'm just one of your victims. I dare you to apologize to me on this thread.

Hey junggle, my lecturer did give me some tips on what he thinks are the more important chapters and have a higher chance of coming out for F4.

-Loan Capital
-Other company officers
-Company formation
-Share Capital
-Corporate restructuring
-Company meetings and resolutions.

Yea, i know it sucks having to memorize so much info ,but how exactly do u study?Do u just read through or something?

Because usually what i do is read up on a chapter and then write down as many things that i can remember on a piece of paper.

Hi there hows your studies going for F4? Did you revise the whole syllabus? I wan pengsan already...

Whaaat?? Nope my lecturer didn't teach at all. I can squeeze in info and memorise but i'm worried that i can't apply it during the exam.

My lecturer did mention a few things that weren't really an important part of the syllabus, but not planning to study them anyway...got lots to do already...

Hey nick, do u still remember how much u wrote for f4? Do we need to write averagely 2 pages for each question to really score? Because so far my answers are about 1 page to 1 1/2 only....

Yea, i usually use about 1 page, maybe because i tend to use paragraphs more. My lecturer always stress the importance of paragraphs lol.

I want to attempt all the questions as well, just that the exam might spring a couple of surprises . i guess even writing a few sentences for a question you don't really know helps in getting marks too.

Lol how the mighty have fallen...
