U dun really need to write like the model answer~~
u will not have the time to write like the model answer~~
u actually got the answer already~~it test ur understanding~~so make sure u are darn good in the theory and principles~~

Just make sure u can write in a structural way...i.e. link to the principle(s) or accounting standard, explain the them and apply ur judgement~~if u are not able to apply the IAS directly~~jus state ur opinion and how u treat them~~


But my best advice is~~dun pick that Question~~~do Q2 and Q3

Have u actually paid~~
it should be available~~

or else it is too early...the docket have not been released~~

Good luck to all of you who sit for exam this coming June~~

If u have any questions related to PER, plz do not hesitate to consult me

This post has been edited by terryble: Apr 30 2012, 01:52 PM

It is possible if u have strong prove that u are not fit for exam...

let me tell u 2 real life scenario...
1st one is that my friend met with an accident when she is heading for exam (in UCSI)... her car get bang pretty hard but she is still ok~~either way she did not make it to the exam...she appeal to ACCA~~and submit her police report (and i think insurance claim)..ACCA allow her to postpone her exam...

2nd 1 is that my fren kena Dengue Fever 1 week before the exam and is in pretty bad shape even though he was discharged from hospital before the exam~~well..of coz he appealed and submit his admittance report and the cert (and invoice) issued by the hospital...well ACCA take in the consideration and he gt to postpone the exam...

FOR YOUR CASE....i dun think u are manage to get any approvals....unless u try go get urself some fake certs~~

However, i strongly disagree with such unethical actions~~my advice is, forget bout ur job...u still got the 1 month left~~make use of it~~(1 day 3~4 hour to practice 2 past year Qs...1 month u have 60 Qs in ur pocket)


Job more important or ur Qualification more important~~??
i've been through that dilemma and i think there is no way ur job is more important than ur qualification~~
u should focus on ur exam....take a long leave if u needed to~~
i used to take more than 2 weeks off during the very peak time (dun give a damn for the bad review my boss gave me) and believe me..everything pays off IF u manage to pass the papers~!!

I disagree with that...
u may not need to quote the exact ISA NUMBER or TITLE but u MUST be fully aware of what the ISA is talking about and u MUST answer it with reference to the content....

ISA include the EXACT action/requirements that you need to do as an auditor....failing to relate it to ur answer will definitely cost u some important marks and decide if u can pass or not~~i cannot stress how important is the ISA in P7~~

So if you are not aware of it....make sure u start reading~~~

Definitely practice past year...
what for u read textbook? wanna read also read past year Q&A~~~

Just try to focus heavily on one or 2 papers and forget bout the other 1~~
again..plan your time..set a target~~~
for example...everyday practice a 2 (main) Questions~~
try ur best to write and answer, look for answer in textbook if you have to..then lastly refer to the model answers...
identify your weakness and make sure you dun make similar mistakes in similar situations~~


F level papers are not that tough~~so i think u can still manage to do it for 2 papers..
provided that u actually learn something during the classes~

My advice is...if u plan to continue attitude like this~~
dun waste ur time in ACCA~~u will have a very hard time trying to past ur papers~and ultimately completing it~~

Wait patiently~~it flew to u all the way from England~~
i got the official cert 3 months after i finished my P level~~(after getting result in August)
anyway..ur ACCA Portal should showed that you are already an affiliates~~

You should start praying that ur cert comes to u in 1 piece~~
My stuff gets here in pretty bad shape~~

Of coz you can do so~~
BUT..based on my past experience...i advice you not to do so~~
focus on your studies 1st if the situation allows u...u may have the next 30 years to accumulate experience~~
Part time students tends to have VERY high failure rate~~

Added on July 9, 2012, 6:27 pmTry Malvern (formerly known as Kasturi) only need to pay a fraction of the price~~
and get 50% discount if you were to resit~~
but the trade off is that~~you do not has nice library...1st class facilities and fantastic college life~~
it is more like a tuition center~~where ppl come and go after class~~

if u can bear with that~~try it~~

u dont need to do so~~
my opinion is....lecturer only consist of a small part of ur successful rate~~
study or not still depends on u~~dun agree that u run around the planet for the "best" lecturer~~

i self studied a 1F paper and 1 P papers and yet i can clear them all~~whereas my some of my frens are still paying and taking classes of the so call BEST lecturer~~
what matters is u~~not the lecturer~~

are u even studying ACCA

Or do you even care going through the student handbook~~

Joe Fang give some of the best notes~~i am still using his IAS Mind maps now even after i have pass all papers~~

no doubt his Consol is a bit weird~~but i do get myself a pass with his method "of not consolidating other accounting standards in the consol question"

By the way..can any1 kindly scan me a copy of his latest IAS mind maps??

the committee will only gather and seal your cert once in every few months...
half of the time taken should be the waiting time~~

my ACCA cert was sealed on last week of June, i got it by 2nd week of July...
not necessarily postman's problem~~
the bending probably is their fault

What i meant was~the delay may not necessary be postage's fault~~

But the document bending definitely is their fault

U cant blame Andrew Pang for not spelling out the theory 1 by 1 to you when he had already give u all the notes~~
i pass my F9 and P4 under him...u should think about changing ur strategies when attending his class~~prepare urself with the theories 1st or really go back and read~~

unless u are doing full time and already start preparing ur December 2012 sitting INTENSIVELY since early September...
taking all 3 professional papers in 1 go is near suicidal~~

in terms of probability...u only have 6.4% chance in passing all 3 papers~~(assuming passing rate for all P papers is 40%), 16% to pass 2 out of 3 papers...

This post has been edited by terryble: Oct 16 2012, 06:17 PM

Well, the passing rate is based on the population of all ACCA students on the planet, i strongly believed that the statement is statistically reasonable, unless u are saying all previous students are worse that existing student.

Of course i have no argument that ultimately it still comes back to the individual. There are still 6.4% students who can actually make it (pass 3 P papers in 1 sitting). So the point comes back to how to make yourself to be the top 6.4% ACCA student on the planet. Anyway, my friend did pass 3 P papers in one go before (with 2 resit papers)..

Personally, i think doing so is suicidal, as Ianlee only ask this question in mid Oct 2012~~

This should be a question that should be determined much earlier~~

Lastly, i am not in anyway "predicting results", i am stating the CHANCE of passing 3 papers in 1 go~~

Any person above 21 years old who can afford to pay for exam fees can sit for ACCA Papers~~even if u have 0 education prior to 21 years old (correct me if i am wrong)

1 of ACCA's objective is to provide 1st class education/qualification for any human being on the planet~~

This post has been edited by terryble: Mar 29 2013, 05:01 PM

They are the same for ACCA in my opinion, both comes with pros and cons..

The exam fees are definitely the same...

As an ex-help grad, i believe HELP's fee is definitely higher...

No idea on that~~

but if you intend to do part time, better go Malvern (previous Kasturi, Jalan Tun H.S.LEE), McOrange or HELP~~
