my case is a bit complicated..

uhm.. im a Tarc student.. Part 2 and 3 of ACCA, its internally assess and also externally assess for Part 3..

this will be my final sem and im taking the optional papers, P4 and P5.

Im having my final exams in May for P4 and P5 (internally assess), so i was thinking.. since i have not pass F9, means its impossible for me to take up P4 for external exam.

So i was thinking whether is it possible for me to take up F9 and P5 for the coming June sitting. I do not want to waste the knowledge which i've studied a month ago for my final since i still have them in mind..

IF thats the case, as what u hav said.. meaning.. my next sitting, i have to take up F9 and P2.
What if, i wanna take up F9 and P3 instead of P2? Is that possible?
*
yaya...i understood wat ur trying 2 convey...
fundamental level is being assessed internally...
but professional level is both internally and externally....

there is a rule from ACCA, stating :
1)fundamental level --> pro ( core ) --> pro ( optional )....unless ur being offered 2 do d optional pprs b4 d transition period, you must complete ur core pprs 1st...

thus, its not allowed 2 tk f9 n p5 2geta (assuming tat ur not in d exception category )....

2) u can take any papers in d same module regardless of its sequence....

thus, u can take p3, den p2 den p1....any orders wil do but they must b in d same module....

anyway...u can check wic pprs u r able 2 sit for d coming exam tru acca website ma...
hehe...hope im not wrong....

CIMA is not a foundation for ACCA. It is like ACCA, just that it has management papers in them. ACCA is solely accounting.

CIMA is a professional degree itself.

To get ACCA, is either B.Degree or CAT.
To get CIMA, is only after B.Degree.


Added on February 28, 2008, 4:07 pmFor CIMA, if u got B.Degree of Accounting from MMU, u will be exempted until the last level.

For ACCA, locally, so far I heard, if you have Nottingham's Degree, 3 papers will exempted.

CAT is the fastest.

She wants to take account course but she said if straight away take CIMA ->ACCA so tough, is it?
Is she can take Degree then ACCA, isn't?
Then can exemption some paper for ACCA, is it true?
Can i know which University or College is the best for Study account course ACCA?

if u cant handle or manage stress well,then d safer way is to obtain a degree 1st den oni further ur studies in ACCA...
coz ACCA is a professional degree wic require self discipline a lot....
if u hv a degree, u wil b exempted from some papers, depending on what degree u hv acquired...

e.g. UTAR n MMU accounting degree wil enable their students 2 b exempted for 9 papers in ACCA....

whic insitution provides d best tuition for ACCA???
few factors hv 2 b taken into account:
1) $$$$
2) location
3) lecturer
4) time...so on....

currently, sunway n KTAR r both recognised as platinum status.....

Kasturi offers a gud range of lecturers...n cheap tuition fees...

if u hv an accounting degree from reputable universities such as LSE, NUS, SMU , harvard....n so on n so on...
it wud have more attention from the employers than ACCA qualification....
those prestigious uni wud hv strict monitoring of the quality of their graduates...
n 2 enrol in2 such unis, one mz obtain extremely excellent academic results n other prospects....

unfortunately, not evi1 can mk in2 such uni.....
n luckily v got professional bodies such as ACCA, CPA, CIMA, CFA, ICAEW.....n so on to help us 2 b recognised as professionals too...
as these professional bodies wil oso hv tight control over their quality, it is not wrong to say that professional degree's graduates r more employable...as there is presence of quality control....

degree holders wud hv their own benefits as well....u wud get d chance 2 enhance urself much beta than in acca...
u wud definitely sharpen ur communication skil, leadership skil and presentation skil...
whereas in acca, one wud b busy with their revision n class...coz acca students are given 5 months to study for each exam....dun reli get any chance 2 relax....

Well, for 1 thing, its certainly not easy to pass ACCA exams.. before i joined ACCA , i took 1 year engineering, and play dota everyday also can pass some, get 80+ for some papers.. but when take ACCA, study average 8 hours a day also score 70+ for some papers in part 2... if part 3.. i think need study 12 hours? sweat.gif

So yeah, those who could graduate from ACCA, they are surely hardworking and should be competent in their work, but most importantly, communication skills plays a huge role too.

yaya..when i was in my CAT...it was actually very easy 2 score 80+....n sum 90+....
wat else can i say about passing.....

i tot ACCA wud b a lil bit tougher than CAT...n eventually...nightmare happened....
i failed all law paper for all progress tests n mock exam....
n its hard 2 score above 70+ for other papers....
d amount of hardwork required is not d same....
moreover, wat ACCA requires is not bout diligence, but application of wat u hv studied + common sense....
although d syllabus seemed2 b d same wf sum degree syllabus,d exam requirement is surely not d SAME...
when degree holders first enter in2 ACCA exam, they wil certainly noe about d difference....

i was actually refering to those who are full time students with marginal pass. normally these students just practice the past year question and as you analyse all the papers, the examiners will repeat the questions eventually. they do not understand the needs in the practical world. i feel the full time students need internship programmes for them to be exposed to the practical world. studying acca from textbooks will not be sufficient.
*
actually v dun reli hv time 2 study d syllabus in depth...given 5 months' time for 3-4 subj....
v r not like degree holders hu r given sufficient time 2 cover each syllabus....
practising past year questions n understanding d examiners' style is d best way 2 pass our exams....
moreover, d reference books (not textbuks) r darn expensive....

"normally these students just practice the past year question and as you analyse all the papers"....
tis is considered as "study smart"...

n in ACCA, hardly examiners wil repeat d same old question again...
but v nida understand d examiners' style....n answering technique...
if not, wat u hv studied wun get u any marks...

"need internship programmes"....
tats y once v fnsh ACCA, v r oni called ACCA affiliate...not ACCA member....
v nida gain experience n knowledge tru out d years....n then qualified as a member...

my exposure is not wide...but wat choice do i hv??
except to complete ACCA fast, n 2 b faster 2 enter in2 d real world 2 acquite working experience...

Sunway or TARC....

Tis is not a major problem actually....
Sunway offers CAT--> ACCA (which can b completed normally in 3 years...or if ur smart enuf, 2.5years...)

however TARC....offers another route to ACCA....diploma (2 years)-->advanced diploma cum ACCA (2 years) -->optional top up degree in UK....

if u prefer TARC route, i wil suggest u to go to INTI TAFE diploma in accounting....Which enables u to complete d diploma n ACCA in (fastest) 3.5 years....n TAFE diploma is quite recognisable oso...
drool.gif drool.gif
im from sunway....(shhhh)
for CAT, sunway is reli gud....
but for more advanced levels such as d professional levels n sum skill modules...i wil suggest to go to other colleges as better tuition quality is guranteed....(however, going outside means tat ur self discipline must b vvv strong as ther is no supervision from d college or lecturers towards ur progress of studies)....

Kasturi, FTMS, Mcorange offers gud tuition for ACCA....n its tuition fees r much reasonable compared to XXXXXX.....

however, if u prefer gud competitive study environment, den sunway is undeniably d best among all colleges...
coz u can know lotsa frens in d college, n this creates an invisible/ transparent comparison of standards between students....weaker students wud work even harder to catch up wf gud students...n gud students wil work even harder to score HADIAH....haha... brows.gif

do not oni consider colleges tat r premier plus(platinum status)....

Choong Kwai Fatt didn't run IRC for June 08 and not sure he will back or not next coming sitting.

For F6-F9, I can't said it is very difficult, but if you hardworking, I think you can pass lah!

My advise was even you dun like college merely tuition centre but the if lecturer will run the class on that college, you better go also. And do you know that most of the famous lecturer also run the class at KSA or Mc Orange, this type of college merely like tuition centre?

I asking you some question also, for Sunway student, they have a very good college life but due to some lecturer inexperince in teaching ACCA, so a lot of the Sunway student go to KL college for additional tuition or attend revision class. Do you like if you study like that? Some more you already paid more than thousand per subject in Sunway and go to KL paid few hundred for additional tuition or revision class, do you like it?

If I'm you, I won't choose to waste this money.

as TARC is offering diploma course, its not as hard as CAT ( much tougher n syllabus finished in short period)....
diploma isn't that hard after all, moreover there are tips from the lecturers b4 exam, if you prefer an easy life, TARC would be selected.

well, when it comes to advanced diploma, surely the lecturers in TARC are not as good as lecturers in Kasturi, Mcorange, FTMS, kolej bandar.....due to inexperience and boring teaching style and darn big class size(> 200 sometimes or most of the times)....

in TARC, you would have a bunch of friends going with you surely. However, in Sunway, most students went there alone. Thus, people would be able to click together much faster also. As said, we can't live alone on earth. When "alone" meets with "alone", "crowd(friendship)" will be created much faster than you can ever imagine.

When choosing ACCA, you maynot restrict yourself only to TARC and Sunway. These 2 college would only provide you with campus life. However, since d course that you choose is ACCA, even though you're living in d campus, you won;t have much campus life though. 5 months of lectures and 6th month you are required to take external exams already.
study environment is very good in Sunway as they have a darn good library(ISO 9001). Lecturers, well, few years ago, most of sunway most famous lecturers(andrew pang, choong kwai fatt, chow chee yen) have all left sunway. There are still some which are very dedicated.

try decide like this, which course is better(suits me better)? diploma n advanced diploma...or CAT-ACCA/ACCA part 1-ACCA....or university degree....
which college is better? study environment, lecturers : Kasturi, Mcorange, Sunway, PTPL, FTMS, kolej bandar...

hehe brows.gif brows.gif ..jz my 2 cents ya!!

B'cos the student very hardworking. And some more, a lot of Sunway student oso go to KSA or Mc Orange for additional tuition or revision class.

but den smart students oso mean that they r smart in nature....den can teach themselves without additional lectures...
den whether d lecturer is gud or not, it has no difference to them...oni ppl hu consistently get high marks considered as smart ppl...haha.... rclxm9.gif rclxm9.gif

not so many sunway students went out for tuition actually...mayb wat u c is oni 50 students...
but 50 is vv small compared to the total ACCA students in sunway..roughly about 2000 students...

lolz...sunway reli had made success in advertising...no wonder when tok about ACCA, those fresh starters wud surely toka bout sunway..

when i jz fnsh SPM, n wana do ACCA, d oni option i had in mind is TARC n Sunway, n thus, i chus sunway bcoz its more reputable....n den when i had joined d programme, yeap, most of famous lecturers had reli left sunway....
oni left "NONME"...n since d syllabus now had been revised, it reli poses lotsa prob to sunway....lecturers' experience played a much greater n essential role, as they nida adapt to the syllabus n teach the students....no past year ques is available for sum pprs....

so, chus for urself....i tink ther r enuf ques of whether to chus sunway or tarc or kasturi or mcorange or FTMS or kolej bandar......coz v adi giv relevant n sufficient info for fresh brats to start ACCA...

Prize winners will still do well no matter where they study. It's just that all the smart students tend to go there, same like how the smart students to go Taylors. Probably because they are not well informed that there are other places to study too.

What a lot of people don't realize is, prizewinners got their achievements from lots of hard work, and not Sunway. Trust me, once you're in there, you'll feel nothing special. I spend so much time in classes, I don't even use the library or anything. So there is no campus life anyway, even if I'm at Sunway. Sometimes my lunch break is only 45 mins  sad.gif

To me, there is only one good lecturer in Sunway, which is Ms. Menon.

agree...i had my campus life in CAT...
but when it comes to ACCA, its like tuition life for me...
haha...
agree evithing u sed....mayb v r from d same college gua....haha....

Do you know that the prize winner from Sunway also appear in the Kasturi/MCO name list?

You said no many student go out for tuition? I tell you a story la! My friend in June 2005 attend the 3 core paper in Sunway, majority of his classmate paid 3 paper school fees but only attend 3.6, and go to Kasturi for additional tuition for 3.5 and 3.7.

And do you why Sunway and TARC student can get Kasturi student price for revision class? B'cos Andrew Pang know a lot of them will come to KL for additional tuition, especially for Professional Level paper.

I always put the priority on the quality lecturer. Study environment is not very important for me cos ACCA is external exam. We are ACCA student, but not Sunway, MCO or Kasturi student. All this college just provide us a tuition class, they nothing to do to our qualification.

For me, paid extra too much fees to enjoy the college life is waste. Some more, they fail to provide us with quality lecturer, so why we still want to paid too much?

haha...easy man..

Hurm.. IMO and from what i read, Sunway does have special relationship with the big4. Of course not all student from Sunway will benefit from this. Most likely only the top student. And I read in this thread that companies usually send their worker here to pursue higher education. So all things remain equal (exactly equal - like a person who has a twin and one go to sunway and other go to some other tuition centre and their intelligence and work rate is the same) I believe the one going to sunway will be more advantages (slight) than the other one.

Anyways, In the end, your result reflect your hardwork. Having a good lecturer is will help but certainly studying hard is more important. The lecturers in Sunway is capable that's why they are being employed, but there's a better lecturer around but i believe the difference is not that much.

Anyways, this is just my 0.02. I have yet taken my ACCA, Will start in July. Cheers

Don't worry, a lot of student even use broken English to answer exam question, but finally can pass. Examiner will won't fail you b'cos of your poor grammar.

Try to use simple English and short sentence to answer question during exam. As long as marker can understand what are you try to write, then they will give u a marks.

But no matter how, you need to improve your language also not just for exam, but also for your future. Like me, my English not good, so I keep on to improve it lo!

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....

you people seriously anti-sunway, eh. face the facts, if you freaking sucks at studying, no matter what lecturer you get, you'll still bloody fail.

hahaha, yeah, RM10k not worth if for college life for some of you, yeah yeah, I know, why the f*** pay that kind of money for college life eh? Sadly, not everyone is as money minded as you people, and frankly, if you're life is all about attending lecturers, then go back home, I'm not surprised if you don't find it worth it at all.

College life is having a place to study, with people, to have club activities, and mug for exams with friends. If you study at KSA or McO and whatever, and you have that, good for you, but the environment is better, more club activities, more rounded generally at Sunway.

If you people, choose the submit to the limitation of all financial management methods, which is ignoring the issues of motivation, peer support, and all the other intangible things that a proper college environment provides, go ahead.

It's not a matter of cost. For SPM leavers, and those not anxious to work, it's a feeling that we've been in college before and enjoyed it. I'm of the opinion if you wanna bash sunway, for fuxx sake, fuxxing bash your own place first, especially carlosandy.

KSA or McO is a row of shops. It provides ACCA, and does it quite well, I admit. So tell me, why majority of the prizewinners, aren't from there? Good lecturers motivates you pass, very true, but a good environment gives you the push and drive to excel.

Yeah, I guess to some of you, your priorities is to pass, yeah. Go ahead, be content with mediocrity, and I'm sure it'll reflect throughout your future. And your money minded approach will just reflect on your attitude to non-financial performance indicators.

To me, I don't intend to be that money-minded.
