It is normal that u're not opted into OBU, because you need to pass your f4 prior to be opted in (unless u have other certs to certify your english language profiency, eg IELTS, MUET, etc). When you have passed your f4, then you should be opted in automatically. If not, you can send a simple email to the UK ACCA to ask them to opt you in. Or you can consult your college for further assistance.

Remember that to qualify for the OBU, you need to pass f4 prior to attempting any paper of f7, f8 , f9. Means you need to clear f4 before passing any one of paper f7, f8, f9. If lets say u passed f7, but failed f4, you can no longer take OBU at all forever, do u get it?

There's no problem with it.

Check for this:
Below the "Update centre selection"
Above the "Section B"

It should state that:
Your variant selections are:Law: Malaysia (MYS)
Tax: Malaysia (MYS)


Then there is no prob at all. I hope it helps. Any other questions, you can ask me

I'm quite sure of it, because i sent an email to ACCA UK. A friend of mine failed f4. The next sem, he took f5, f6, f7. If he passed f7, he is not eligible to OBU anymore. Thats what the gwai lou told me (lol). Their reasoning was that, they (ACCA) need to comply with the regulations set by Oxford Brookes. Im not sure of your friend's case though.


rules stated here:
focus on the first bullet point
remember that to be opted in, u need to fulfill the english language requirement.

will the list be published anywhere? Or do the lecturers only have access to it?
Means we wont be able to find the list anywhere on9 too?

they do publish it in the student accountant? I havent seen any list published so far, after >1 year in ACCA. Only the top CAT (highest overall in some CAT papers) and ACCA( highest aggregrate in P123) are there right? Pls guide me to it if there is any.. Just received my March 09 issue.

f6 MYS.. honestly, i dun have that high hopes to get the prize, but my lecturer thinks if im lucky, i might get the msian prize, so she asked me to keep an eye for it and pray hard. I'm too scared to ask her if i got the prize because, she has too high an expectation on me, and im afraid to disappoint her, so had been avoiding her lol
