thanks.

actually i have wasted a lot of time, by right i could have graduated much earlier if i took more papers (at least 2) each semester.  in the end i noticed that i am too slow, therefore i made up my mind to take P5 and P7 together.

I could only absorb around 20% to 30% during lecture class, i absorbed most of the knowledge during my study leave. as for p2, i did not know how to do conso during lecture, not even calculating the goodwill. i only have the motivation to study when exam is near, always last minute  laugh.gif

P2 needs a lot of practice, practise on the revision kit for few rounds, put extra attention on new accounting standards and effective time management. you should be able to pass  rclxms.gif  rclxms.gif  Good luck!

Wow, and you still passed p2? Damn hero man you. I'm taking P2 this sem and I'm in the same position as you were sweat.gif

hahaha, don't always last minute. in case of any accident happens, you are done!
the only formula is keep on practising, be clear on the conso method you use since different lecturer taught different conso method, make it understandable for the marker.  of course i never balanced my SOFP/SOCI/SOCF before in ACCA exams  biggrin.gif  biggrin.gif

conso question will have some notes asking you to make adjustment to the financial statements, if you don't know that part then just ignore it since your SOFP/SOCF will still balance.  don't waste time on thinking how to do if you really have no idea.

time management is essential because in every question, the first 10-15 marks can be picked up easily. if you wasted too much time on Q1, you will end up not enough time on other questions. if you can pick up more than half of the marks of each question, your chance of passing is increased
*
When you study your P2 did you memorize all the ias (definition etc)? Or just learn how to do the adjustments only?

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
*
QUOTE(SereneAshley @ May 11 2012, 01:28 PM)
haha true, but acca is no fun. i don't want to spend my twenties wasting away on acca.
*
Aduh, what you mean wasting away on acca? Yes, it's not easy..but you will reap what you sow in the end..

And acca can branch out in to a lot of stuff not just accountant.

Paid already just try your best. Who knows you pass in the end? Just take it one step at a time, don't stress yourself. If you feel can't handle 2 papers just focus on 1. Like me, when I did F6 and F7, I had no clue what was going on. I made the decision to drop F7 last minute and passed F6 smile.gif Anyway..decision is up to you. Good luck smile.gif

In Sunway, our lecturer always joke with us, if you cannot take ACCA go MUFY. whistling.gif

QUOTE(junggle @ May 12 2012, 10:33 PM)
Is doing past year enough for F5?? There are only 9 sets and some of the syllabus never come out before.
Beside that anyone got any tips for F6?? lol gonna study them one day before the exam.

Enough or not I don't know..but it will sure as hell help increase your passing chances nod.gif

tell u the truth, I fail numerous times....  I think got 4 times lo.

Woah 4 times only and you quit ah? But I guess some people are like that..My friend taking P6 and P7 failed both with 49 marks after that he got phobia for ACCA exams..he couldn't go for the finals even though he already paid for them..

Some people just keep continuing on and on for many years. My friend's cousin just passed his last paper (P4) after so many years. He's almost 30 years old.

QUOTE(SereneAshley @ May 13 2012, 12:03 PM)
Thanks to everyone who gave advice smile.gif 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.
*
Hmm, from what I heard..ACCA professional papers is on par with masters..But in the working world ACCA graduates would have the edge (correct me if I'm wrong)..

But really, just do your best..For the F level, I had no clue what was going on most of the time especially for papers F4, F7, F8. But I took 2 by 2 and managed to scrape through the F level smile.gif

I attempt like below:
F4 and F5
F6 and F7(drop)
F7 and F8(fail both) sweat.gif
F7, F8, F9, P1

Out of all the F papers, you're taking 2 of the toughest papers IMO..Maybe that's why you feel so stressed..Also, exam is nearing that's why stress level increase..I also always feel like quitting ACCA the following sem when nearing exams. Pre-exam blues tongue.gif

When I was taking F4 I had decided to quit ACCA just one month before exams because I didn't know a single thing other than the words "offer and acceptance". Can you imagine I scored 0.5marks (rounded up to 1mark doh.gif ) for mock exam?? Somehow managed to pass in the end. F5 to me was easy so I had time to focus on F4. There's still plenty of time..I only started studying F4 about 2 weeks to exams(I don't recommend this) by auditing past year Q..

God!!!  notworthy.gif  notworthy.gif  u're studying full time?? my problem is my English sux so it's hard for me to express what i understand. and i also didn't know a single thing about F4 and only managed to get 28 marks in my class with clues given by lecturer lol. But it's better now after weeks of memorizing past year papers. The feeling of unprepared for exam really get me feel blues.
I feel F5 is easy but i am just scared of some things i didn't give attention will come out in the final exam ZZzz
So you now have already passed ACCA??

Nope..I'm doing P2 rclxub.gif and P3.. Getting the blues again doh.gif

Don't worry..Just try your best for both papers.. Since your F5 okay then put more effort into F4. Still have 1 month to study F4 rclxm9.gif I'm the worse at memorizing stuff..But I managed to go from 0.5 -> 50..If someone like me can pass, everyone else should be able to smile.gif

actually i'm taking another paper F6 but i've decided to give up because i really feel that i'm short of time. I also hate memorizing stuff. After memorizing somehow will forget then have up memorize again the same things.

Yea, sometimes it might be a good idea to let go one for the benefit of the other. Like me, take just 2 papers f6 and F7 but i drop F7 and just passed 1 paper that sem smile.gif

Mr. Akhbar? He's quite slack in class which is why I'm considering taking p5 outside.. hmm.gif

Lol 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.

Hahaha for f4..I remember I only know a few case law names like Solomon vs Solomon tongue.gif ..I did not cite the year or the sections, but still passed..Don't think it's that important if you didn't know everything..
