Anyone done OBU degree before? Is there a necessity for it?

With the latest revision, we have to complete the ACCA Professional Ethics module (Paper P1) prior submitting our project :'(
*
I don't think we have to complete P1 to submit the OBU. If i'm not wrong, as long as u have completed F1-F9, then can submit already. Well, i'm currently doing it, and planning on submitting this october, but im still waiting for F5,8,9 results:p . But if cannot submit, i think my lecturer would have told me kua, so i don't think ull have to complete P1 before submitting.

KSA students,

Hi..i've just finish my LCCI papers not long ago and waiting for results(result coming out on August). I'm planning to pursue ACCA(full time). As i know, there's only 2 intakes in a year for ACCA, so i decided to go for January 2009 intake in KSA as i already missed the July one..
And here's my questions:- (KSA student answer me pls)

1) Got September intake for part 1 in Ksa?

2) I've saw the timetable on ksa website, example F1A is for full time and F1B is for part time.
I don't understand what F1AB stands for. Combined class or i get to choose either one?
Full time student have to attend evening class too??(6.30pm-9.30pm?)Not just morning and afternoon?
Its like so dangerous at night as in KL petaling street area, i have to take public tranport home alone.

=) TQ

Well so far there is no degree in the world that can get (full / 100%) exemption from ACCA so if you wish to become a member of ACCA you most likely have to finish (the papers not exempted, like professional papers) by ACCA.

1) Actually no, but you can go to their "2nd term" class, since you have seated for LCCI (it won't be that difficult / different).
You only have to pay for that 2nd term. At most you only sacrifised a few lessons (can catch up very quick one).

2) F1AB means you need to attend the class with "part-time" student. For example if full-time = 50 students, part time = 50 students, then total 100.
AB class normally conducted in weekends so part-timers (who may be working in weekdays) can participate as well.
Most lecturers do this for convenience (2 in 1) means they teach once enough already.
Actually everywhere is dangerous, be careful lo smile.gif

I don't know where you study or which lecturer you're under so i cannot comment on the lecturer notes.
However i have develop a reliable method to tackle "F4" only.

You will notice that F4 is the only syllabus in ACCA which requires 90% - 100% memorisation or "copy & paste".
1) practice past year question (each at least 3 times).
2) if can memorise 1 case law per section, like offer (1), torts (1).....
3) biz law + complany law = 50%, agency / partnership = 10%, employment = 10%, source of legal system = 10%, others i'm not sure but judging  from past trends, its almost like this.

You cant find text book bcos different country has different variant (like tax). Malaysia covered a slightly more compared to other countries like singapore ACCA variant. Bpp & kaplan will not be probably printing malaysian law shakehead.gif  shakehead.gif  shakehead.gif

ur reply is really helpful =) thx so much ! smile.gif
umm..i m studying in ftms now~
where can i find practice questions for F4? which gbookstore or which publisher?
what does case law mean?

Practice question : you can download it from ACCA website (but its very tedious lo), try to ask from friends.
You can try from June 2002 to june 08 (you won't pass but you will score) notworthy.gif notworthy.gif notworthy.gif

Text book : F4 & F6 has different variant (so Bpp & kaplan don't publish it here) shakehead.gif
maybe you can try looking for it at major book store. (Mph, popular)
If you have friends studying at kasturi (viknes), they have it (but didn't covered business law) & price > RM10. hmm.gif

Case law : this means that every section (major chapter) has a case / story assigned to it.
Like abuse of power (they got turquand case),
In exam, you need to quote the case law name (le : Balfour vs Balfour), then explain a bit (2 lines will be enough). tongue.gif

Are you crazy? ACCA is one of the easiest professional courses in the world. Just need to sit there and shake leg when the lecturer teach, then go home forget everything is normal. When exam just dish out some random reasoning and hope it makes sense. Just think, you need just 50% of the marks for an exam to pass, that's like answering one question wrong for every one you answer right. At most you have to study for the financial accounting papers, F7 and P2. The rest is mostly 40% logic, 20% guesswork and some good writing. Once i saw an entire 50 mark 3.3 question that even a high school student could answer perfectly.

You should go to any public university and see your peers struggle because they have no idea what the hell their esteemed lecturers are saying - it's probably even worse than primary school. Some people I know said they would never have gotten through uni classes if not for lots of support from seniors.

If you signed up for one of those hardcore colleges which churn out top scorers every semester then it's no use complaining, you are getting your money's worth of 'education' laugh.gif For me it's just one long holiday with short periods of stress and panic laugh.gif

Lol quotas are just rumour rumour, but ACCA came out with a statement when results were out by saying that there were no quotas when deciding who passes or fails.

Oh its actually one of my lecturer jokes that not only you will pass but you will score high marks.
Actually one can never believe / absorb lecturers teachings 100%. You need to be a bit sceptical & ask questions about things you are not familiar with. F4 is the most unrelated topic to accounting but vital for knowledge like (history lo yawn.gif )

It is better if you can combine your lecturer notes with past year answers it will certainly "add-value". Don't worry about application bcos there is not
much to test about law (since few changes). But becareful of corporate governance & tots since its new syllabus.

If you notice past year answers are generic (copy & paste) like utra vires, they repeated it >5 times from year 2000. Answer exactly the same.
Mostly lecturer job in F4 is to teach students about the law section background but answer you have to memorise yourself. Work hard lo. smile.gif

1. Revision class normally starts 1 month before exam (in november) Regarding colleges I can't really recommend on revision effectiveness since
it will depend on your gf normal classes coverage. if its a "one-off" revision it depends on the needs.
I can recommend a few like chin ann (kolej bandar) & andrew pang (KSA). Others i am not too sure of.
The cost normally range from RM100 - RM300 depending again on the college. (normally six sessions = 18 hours)

2. F5 was a split off from a part 2 paper which combines (finance & management). I can say that F5 has the lowest pass rate among Fundamental
papers (since lack exposure & past year question to practice on). Self study can be a bit hard since you do not know "key" areas to focus on.
I am sorry that i don't know any reliable technic since (memorisation & practice don't work much). It needs good knowledge & reasoning to pass
this paper.

3. Past year question can be download at ACCa global website. If you want to go beyond (this is not recommended bcos)
F5 & F9 has no specific past year paper to practice on (can take partially only)
F8 current examiner alan lewin has a different approach compared to past examiner (Catherine).

31/7 is the deadline to register through Malaysia office. 15/8 is the global deadline.
in the case that your friend missed 31/7, she could register via online by 15/8.
check this out.
hope it helps. smile.gif

Thanks roy, I'll tell that to her. Another question, since she's gonna turn 21 in 18th august, do you think she still can register for it? She was adamant that she can get in through MSER route because she's gonna turn 21 this year, but isn't it has to be before the deadline?
