he said the tuition fee is about 2k then the p2a class about 500 the rest is registration etc.

Can someone tell me if this is true?
ACCA 2014

And if it is "Plz kill me"

@nick67 Sir do you think it is true? And how much is it gonna effect the students?

If are comfortable with the theoretical papers then you should consider P5 and P7.

And taking into account of what you said, then the best option for you is P4 and P5. P6 is the easiest among the optional papers but highly numerical.

Got trial classes?

Don't you think it is unethical? 

One of my friends who has recently taken P4 from him, this sitting, has told me that he does't focus heavily on theoretical parts of the syllabus. He is great with the numbers though!
I wonder if this is true; Since I really feel that theory is quite important in P4 

I heard the policy is that you will be fined rm100 if they catch you . its stated in the timetable itself .

but some of my buddy's attend FTMS class for free . pay one subject only , go for other subject . wonder how is that

Maybe this is the reason students don't even bother communicating with their fellow students in the class because either they are shy or they are too "ARROGANT". Now I feel like they must be shy 

Most of the teacher tend to be talking to themselves and it seems so stupid that we are quite in the class, even-though we have questions to ask!!!

I went for a trail class of P3 under Marty and he asks soooooo many questions. You can't even imagine how many questions he just asked in those 3 hours lol and when the second time he asked a question from a chinese girl, she denied to answer    saying "sir can you plz ask someone else, I can't answer your questions" It was a bit embarrassing that how can one can that to their teacher 

hahaha well the question was something like "What are the competitive advantage of Honda and iPhone?" The questions he was asking were far too easy to answer. One of them was "What is your aim?" and the worst one was, which he asked me, "Why are you doing ACCA"     And it was kinda awkward since I can't really say why am I upto ACCA!!!!

Exactly! I reckon no one here would say that F5 is difficult as compared to F8 and F9 but it is the most difficult paper for me in ACCA so far for me. Even I loved studying F8 and now P1 and P3 but I don't know why I hate F5!!! 
Well the questions, I used to ask, were usually related to the class(of course I would favor myself )
I used to ask about, lets say, substantive procedures that why did the lecturer write the answer that way and what if I write the same thing other way around etc.

planning to do ACCA, am wondering if i can ask the following in this thread:

between P4 to P7, i can choose any 2 papers, which 2 are better?

note: i have exemption for first 9 papers

will he pick students to answer his questions in class??XD

Well my favorite paper in F papers was F8 and the easiest to pass was F7(only studied for 3 weeks or so and passed) But F5 is killing me. Already failed once and taken it the second time now and still doubtful 

Yea i noticed that a lot of people take P7. Actually if i'm not going into audit field so it is not necessary to take P7 right? I've been working for many years, not in audit field and not planning to go in as well. I'm actually considering P4 & P6, but i want to know more what is P5 all about.

Well P5 is totally management stuff so if you are interested in that then go for it. It would give you exemption in CIMA as well. You can even take more than 2 papers as well if you want to take an additional paper(I am planning to take P4 and P7 then take P6 for exemption in ICAEW)

If you wanna know further about P5, I have got a soft copy its BPP book(latest one don't worry ). Let me know if you wanna dig into it!

Don't worry, the pass rate will be the same.

It is harder with computer based.  The first session for this will be for F4 in Dec 2014 (probable). It will be implemented fully by Dec 2015. So this will only really affect those that join CAT in current year.

Those who did CAT, do you think T8 (FAU) helped you or not, since this is only a condition for Sunway. The rest of them do FFM or T10.

Hi, thanks for your reply and advise.

Actually, i am worry about p6 syllabus the most. Because the syllabus is bulky and need a lots of memorise, while i am going to take p2 as well. So i afraid cant cope with that much. I observe that a lots of people stated that p7 and p2 is relate, therefore i decide to take p7. P6 is what i am concerning, whether to take it together in this sitting.

Wow! self study and passed p6 thumb up for u
Mind to share how u self study for it? Because i got a friend, took p6 three times still cant pass, and she did went for classes too   This make me a bit scare to take p6 as my optional

If I have failed my most effort on ACCA in Malaysia, but still fail I may plan to exam in UK to take advantage on 40% pass mark.

Anyone here has experienced in UK for ACCA exam?

I'm not sure if I'm posting in the right thread, so if it's wrong, please redirect me to the correct thread.

Right now I'm an SPM student who's interested in doing something related to Accounting/Finance in the future. I was hoping that I could get further advice from anyone who is experienced here, as I have many questions in my head right now about this career pathway. Among which are :

1) What is the first step I should take to become a chartered accountant?

2) ACCA or Degree in Accounting/ Both?

I know there are a few threads before this(most of which I've read) that are about the same topic, but I'm still unsure about which I should choose, or to do my degree first and then take ACCA.

3)What is the salary of a fresh graduate; and also, the salary of an experienced worker? What is the average age of an accountant with a healthy salary?

4) Is studying ACCA the same in each university/college?
I have Sunway in mind right now. However, Sunway is real far from where I live and there is no convenient public transport that will take me to Sunway. So right now, I'm keeping my options open.

5) Should I do ICAEW or ACCA?

A senior of mine suggested me to take ICAEW's foundation course and then opt for ICAEW later on. Between ICAEW and ACCA, which is better?   

I'm sorry if I'm asking too many questions at a time or if I posted in the wrong thread. I sincerely hope that the experienced out there can answer my queries. 

3) I meant healthy salary as in a salary that allows me to survive in KL and still have some money left for little luxuries every now and then(vacation overseas, entertainment etc). Oh, so one can be employed by the Big4 right after graduation assuming that one has the PER?
1) I suppose I'll take either ICAEW/ACCA then since I hate group work and I want to start earning good money as soon as possible. Is it feasible to ACCA first and then proceed to ICAEW/vice versa or is one enough? And is it very stressful to do ICAEW while working at the same time? Also, do you mean to say that ICAEW holders earn more in the long run? I'm sorry if I'm asking too many questions 

3) So what is the maximum salary one can earn from the Big 4 or is the sky the limit?

4) I am considering Kasturi as well because my friend's brother goes there and I have heard good things about it. What is it like over there in terms of environment and lecturers? So you took a degree at Sunway first and then proceeded to do ACCA at Kasturi?

Thank you nick67 and nicky 87 for the advice! Really appreciate it.
