This is not meant to criticise but to help you. Is there any valid reason why you cannot check this by yrself? If there is not, why? Is it because you're not committed enough? Is this why you r taking P7 for the 3rd time?

To be successful in anything, you need to be interested in it and being committed is one of the ways of developing interest. React in any way that you like. I don't know u n u don't know me but why should I bother to help u?

For those doing the P level, I would recommend that you take in the 1st semester P1&P2, 2nd sem (P3&P5 - related) and then an optional of yr choice in the 3rd sem. Thus target is to qualify in 3 sems. What's the hurry? The best you can do is 2 sems and believe you me, working in the accounting line sucks big time!

You ask for ans here!!?? U sit for ACCA?

You willing to pay for the cost of holding 4 sittings/year?

If you can do a SWOT for yr P3 you do not need to go for classes

That shows how much you know about P3. If you know your strenghts, weaknesses, opportunities and threats in tackling P3 you should know what you need to do next. It is application of a key foundation of P3 to yourself

So finally what are you trying to say? Is what you are saying a strength/weakness/threat/opportunity to yourself or are you reacting in angry mode? As a lecturer in P3 of many yrs, I am trying to get you to understand the application of strategic position viz SWOT to an ACCA student wishing to pass P3

These are the type of rubbish entries that mislead people.
1. On what basis did you come to the conclusion that the gentleman Windle is the no 1 in Asia for P3?
2. Billy who? Connolly is also good too and famous in Scotland
3. If they are so good, why are they leaving their present positions to KL?

A good reputable org does not advertise itself. This is acid test

The basis of your objective recommendation is similar to that of Grimm's fairy tales ...long ago in a faraway place according to what I heard, there lived a strong, handsome prince called P3 who was reputed to be the best in his land....

All of the optionals are difficult with an average of 1 out of 3 students passing. In terms of usefulness, P6 tax is what every accountant should know. P5 is also very closely related to P3 so if you find that you have a liking for strategic management as the way for a company to succeed, it is a possibility. P4 is complex and I do not know how relevant it is in your career. Lastly P7 as audit is more suitable for a multinational and for a career in the audit profession.

Lastly, try to avoid doing more than 2 optionals in combination with compulsory P papers. They are very taxing and I think doing 2 at one time is the best. So a possible combination is:

1st sem - P1, P2
2nd sem - P3, P5
3rd sem - P6

Some students like to take P1,P2,P3 and then P5,P6 - all you are saving is 6 months which you are going to use to work?!!!?

This ACCA topic recently seems to be declining and turning into a indirect advert of lecturers' qualitites. I call on the moderator to close off this topic should it persist.

For the life of me, I do not understand what you are saving and pls behave in a more civil manner. Don'r be rude just bcos you can hide behind a screen.

Sorry, no time for infants like you

Like I said, I hv no time for infants like you!

The article above could very well apply to ACCA students. As we know, the english standard of Malaysians as a result of the emphasis on Malay is generally poor. Students have good english because of factors external to our education system. Many students enter ACCA attracted by relatively low fees and its professional reputation. The std of english of many of our students may be so poor as to create problems like in the letter. It is serious enough for me to want to make this warning:

DANGER! DO NOT ENTER UNLESS YOUR ENGLISH PROFICIENCY IS GOOD ENOUGH!
TEST OF PROFICIENCY - CAN YOU READ MANY PAGES OF SCENARIOS THAT HAS TO BE READ AND UNDERSTOOD FAIRLY QUICKLY?

I am not discouraging students but my main objective is to give them an early warning before they embark on something which may give them years of heartache and poor self esteem. If you have an accounting degree and want to pursue ACCA do so with a positive attitude. Give yourself a maximum time frame and consider working only after you have not been able to reach that goal and remember our education system is at fault not you.

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?
