To be honest, I find it amusing how you missed out Tzxsean's sarcasm.

There's 3 more weeks to exam, if you give up so easily, then sad to say, it will take a very long time for the person to even pass ACCA with such attitude.

When you are taking such tough examination papers, if you prepare for it but in the end fail, at least you showed effort to try, rather than excuses to just drop 1 paper due to insecurity. You already paid for the paper, might as well just try it out.

I find it funny that this thread is actually so full of pessimistic people that even resorting to dropping papers or quitting ACCA when things get tough..

Ops, wrongly quoted but wth.. Let it be. This reply is towards those who actually feel that they are the person mentioned.

Being nice to you does not mean I have good intentions, and being crude with my choice of words does not mean I want to see you fail. As a fellow peer taking this paper, I would like to see another peer passes the paper too.

Well, why no prepare early? As you said, you are a full time student taking 2 F level papers. If you are a part time student or a working class student taking 3 P level papers, then yea, I might be able to understand your suffering. Come on, we all are adults here. If you don't prepare well, then its your own fault to begin with.

If you are not prepared due to your inability to study beforehand, don't complain so much. Enough said.

I don't have to know you to judge you and same goes with the examiner when they are marking your paper.

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

Finally -

Life is going to shovel dirt on you, all kinds of dirt. The trick to getting out of the pit well is to shake it off and take a step up. We can get out of the deepest pits by not stopping and never giving up. Just shake it off and take a step up.
Try it, it works!

For those who are preparing for exam remember not to give up when things get tough. The tough gets going. Good luck

I think your bashing is at least better than mollycoddling the wrong behavior.

I believe the those that are entering the ACCA using Diploma, Degree and CAT from June 2013 would be affected since the requirement will be enforced as of Aug 2013 - mandatory, it is optional now.

Trust me - this is a huge mess  icon_question.gif that will not only affect ACCA, it affects all the others too - Diploma crossing to Degree, Certificate crossing to Diploma. rclxub.gif

In that case, you cannot complain since this is a blanket rule.  My interpretation of the ruling that was made is better explained using an example.

Example:
If your Diploma has 50 credit including the MQA paper to complete and if you are exempted from Bahasa Malaysia due to A1 in SPM.  You have just done 47 credit of classes and skipped 3 credit due to exemption of BM.

The new ruling is that you must complete 50, meaning - either you do BM or do something else in lieu to cover the 3 credits.

This is due to credit exemption, you must replace the exempted credit.  You do not need to replace if it is credit transfer, like Diploma transfers credit to Degree.

Source wise - wait for the colleges to announce the news, you will hear it soon enough.
*
I think without any more information pertaining this matter, we should not speculate.

I read your reply multiple times and could not understand the main idea behind it.

So what you are saying is

A - A student need to do additional paper to replace the subject he was exempted on?

BUT - How does this relate to ACCA/Other degree program?

B - The new ruling is by whom? You did not state where the ruling comes from? Is it from MQA, Ministry of Education, British High Council or whatever? rclxub.gif

Am very interested to find out more about this so if you don't want to reply here, you can always PM me.

Thanks icon_rolleyes.gif

New ruling is by MQA.
All programs are affected.
This is not speculation - this is something that has already been issued out by MQA and in the process of being implemented by most colleges / universities.
Yes students will have to do additional subjects to replace exempted subjects - what subject will be decided by the colleges.

The above is a rule.
So far the impact for ACCA is related to MQA compulsory subjects.
*
Okay.

So is there any substantial proof to back this up?

This seemed interesting.

Besides, if a person is a degree student, he/she has to complete the credit hour stated by the program.

I don't really see how one person could lack 3 credit hour based on your earlier example as if one is exempted from a MQA subject, he or she has to take another to compensate for the one he/she is exempted from.

Hurmp.

i'm helping my friend to ask, she is interested with ACCA, which college is better? TARC or HELP? and how much is the fees for the whole ACCA course? smile.gif
her parents insist want to send her to TARC but she thinks HELP is better and she said the fees are almost the same, is that true? need advices.
*
I would say TARC's pretty decent as well.

In fact, most ACCA students usually go to TARC laugh.gif

Guess it's one of the better course at there.

TARC's cheaper than HELP, that's for sure.

QUOTE(debbieyss @ Mar 28 2013, 11:35 PM)
By the way, assuming a person has zero accounting background, which centre can he enroll for acca?
*
Any center, but without background, you need to be epicly hardworking to cover up for the remaining F papers.

P level papers won't be a worry till you can pass all the F, which is hard for someone with ZERO background.

QUOTE(Patricia_85 @ Mar 29 2013, 05:14 PM)
does TARC offer part-time ACCA courses for specific papers?? mainly for those who are working and aiming to attend classes during the weekends.. I do not see them in the website so thought of asking here..
Hope someone can give me a direct answer..thanks in advance.

Nope.

Only full time.

Hello Fellow ACCA students.

If you are having Kaplan's text books ranging from P1 to P7, please do feel free to contact me to dump your books to me for a reasonable price tongue.gif

And oh, please make sure the book is clean/good condition as I would need to eat it up soon.
