Yeah having a certain level of English language would help you a lot. In the high levels the exams are mostly theory, and a good command of English would enable you to lay out your points.

But I believe you can do it. Try improving English as you study. It's even tougher for China students whom I see bring an electronic dictionary to translate English into Chinese.

No specific English language requirements to enter. But from what I see your English level is adequate. I really don't think you'll face a lot of hurdles though.

Studying the course might also help you improve your English as you pick up new words. Give it a try, I think you can do it 

However if you're still unsure, try checking out the textbooks and see if you have difficulty understanding it( the explanations, not calculations)

stephanie...based on your comments posted here....i personally think that your english standard is not poor loo...
above average....

cause you din make any grammar or tenses mistakes here....
think of the english standard of those students from middle east taking ACCA....
your std is far greater than theirs....

so...+++ oilll....

Sheila teaching IRC this paper? Then better go lo, I think it is only a good choice for P7 currently.

Frank Wood? Heard of the author before but he has several books. I only did some Business Accounting which is only relevant for the first paper in ACCA, F3.

If you need to brush up your fundamentals, CAT might be a good route, since it teaches you the basics all over again, but then it's longer by 6 months compared to Part1.

everyone has the right to give his or her opinion..studying in sunway does not mean must fully support sunway,just for eg,u work in a bad company,does it mean u have to resign tomorrow?if not,does that mean no matter how bad the company,u have to tell ppl it is a very good company?
sometime there are so many factors that can affect the decision of one people,such as location of the college or the comfort to stay with one college..

i still remember last time when i studied in FTMS,i don't have all the good lecturers but i still stick with FTMS becoz i believe as long as i willing to work hard and pay my effort,even though i have average lecturer,i still can pass the exam,and all these thoughts are proven right coz i pass my exam..

EdgarNg,     to you..

If you're going with CAT then I see life would be a little easier as it goes back to the basics, and assumes you have zero accounting knowledge. Probably my only advice is to get a very solid foundation in CAT, try scoring as high as you can, don't just be satisfied with a pass. It helps a lot in level 2 and above as the subjects builds on your foundation, and a weak one will never go far and will be faced with difficulties.

Lastly, enjoy the course    We do better if we look forward to it

if i were u,i will study acca level one instead of cat,reason behind is that u just need to complete three papers then u can proceed to ur part two and even if u don pass the papers,u still can combine ur level one and level two papers together to continue ur exam,whereas in cat,u have to study about 9 papers and also to complete cat before u can proceed to acca..

when i decided to study my acca, the consultant in the college is trying to persuade me to take cat saying that i don't have accounting background,but i think it is worth taking risk to try acca level one coz i am able to save time and cost..so don influenced by ppl that acca is tough,even though u studied cat,acca can be tough for u also..so jus try your best to learn and cope up with this exam and get ur acca qualification.

if acca allows y not ?
i've study CAT before goin to ACCA 
i can tell u that , some of CAT papers are even tougher than F1-F3....
CAT consist of basic of many ACCA papers, if u wan a fast route , starting from ACCA part 1 is faster a lot 
but honestly CAT strengthen my foundation a lot , eg. performance management
and allow me to get higher salary when i newly enter audit firm 
u hav to choose now
between foundation and faster route , which is do u prefer? 

i can assure u u dont need strong foundation to study acca,becoz u still have book keeping knowledge while i have 0 when i study my part 1..
u close one door and another door open for u,if u think u will lose opportunity to derive stronger foundation,why not jus spend more time to enhance ur foundation when u study ur fundamental level for acca,it is all up to u,u wan longer time possibly strong foundation or u wan to do ur acca straight away and face any challenge that u are going to have in coming future..

umm..glad to hear that..
how am i get along with my acca a?yeee.....i no need to get along with my acca exam anymore coz i already graduated..
from the way u write ur post,i think u don't have big problem in english,of coz english is important ,so what u shd do is keep on improving ur english along the way u study ur acca even after u graduated...
btw,i am from chinese independent school also..  

If you're fresh from SPM I thought you're supposed to take CAT first? Then after completing CAT you'll be given exemption from the first few ACCA papers.
Just follow what people normally do, take 3 papers first.As for registering for exam, if the college don't take care of it for you (reminding you to fill up the form and pass it to them) you can submit online.Just choose your college and ask them what you should do.

If u think u can, u can...
UEC so many papers u also can pass... why not take up to 4 papers?
Corporate and Business law is not that difficult.
you need to memorise..  when exam, hentam all will do..
4-4-3-3.... 2 years finish ACCA...

It is certainly not impossible, especially for the earlier papers.As long as you believe you can have the discipline to handle many papers, you can do it.Just be prepared for the busy schedule and tight revision before exams.If you think you can handle, go for it

Yea. But for professional paper, I do not encourage that. Unless you've properly schedule.
Basically I think taking more than 4 Paper 1 shot is committing suicide... Especially the time table of ACCA, subjects is one day next to the other, if not just two or 3 days in between....

ACCA knows that as well, that's why they only allow a maximum of 4 papers per sitting.If its free for all, some people will go overboard and take 5 or more papers like it is SPM, in less than half a year

Hi Everyone,

Sorry for disappeared for so long..quite busy recently..

Anyway,exam is over and so all of you can start to enjoy life now..hehe..

If you ever plan to take 4 papers,you should definately have a better shot at it with the earlier papers than the later ones. Plus the first 3 papers are rather knowledge based papers and relatively easy. So F1-F4 sounds good imo. Just don't slack off and I think you'll do find.

Lol you'll still have your social life,you can't be studyin all day long can you? =.= You'll just get less of it as exams draw near.

Don't worry bout P2 now,although yea,it's rather...difficult

I think it's part of the "ACCA gives u a quick route thing" If you're really focused and work hard consistently,depending on your own capabilities taking 4 papers is actually to a certain extent possible.

As for the future,as you move along in the papers you'll get a feel for it. Since you'll be taking F4 (which is considered as a part 2 paper so to speak) you'll probably have a rough idea as to how many papers u can handle.
As for selection,in order is fine. Papers that go well with each other...probably audit n accounts? Colleges generally have standard paths for you to take. Apart from that,u can look at exam timetables (just google ACCA exam timetable) Having days in between papers really help,imo

Yea,pressure as a motivation can be really annoying (and pressurizing lol) at times,but it does help.

Well your manager has no way of knowing your capabilities right? So that's really just a general "play safe" statement,so he won't be misguiding the weaker ones,so to speak. You'll get a hang of it really,then you can decide how much social life you can or cannot have.

Erm,studyin smart is,well,studyin smart Don't worry too much bout the case studies,those are mostly in the professional level. Or probably there're shorter ones in part 2,but u should get the hang of it after doin questions in classes.Tutorials and stuff.

Click for exam timetable. Exams start every first Monday of June/December i.e. Day 1. This continues till Friday (Day 5) and Day 6 onwards resumes after the weekends.

Just a suggestion,the whole have days in between. Following the sequence is perfectly fine as well. (But u can't jump in between modules,like not completing F papers but taking P papers) The sequence of the module is important,not the paper sequence,iianm.
