I went for full time classes when i studied P7.

Actually that is no any tips for studying P7. What you have to do is to read more examiner comment on every sitting so that you can avoid some fatal error. When you sit on the exam, try to think on the shoes of partner. By the way, P2 knowledge has to be solid if you want to pass as P7 examiner likes to test on complicated standard and she stressed the importance of having solid knowledge in IAS in article.

Furthermore, in P7 you have to be very specified in your answer. Don't ever use the word "check" in your answer because it is too general. Be realistic and having business comman sense in your answer than it should be enough to pass.

just came back from london.. n i failed my p7.. arrgghhhhh one more paper to go.
where do u study? n most importantly how do u study that paper?
anyway congrats..

That was a tough question. I read the whole BPP text book and made reference to ISA handbook. I almost finished all questions in BPP revision kit and read the examiner comment. By the way, reviewing IAS and IFRS is a must.

I hope my way of studying will be helpful to you.

this is helpful.....will take a note of examiner comments

Anyone has experience with distance learning? Mind to share how you find it useful in preparing for ACCA exam? I am considering signing up with Kaplan/LSBF/etc as I have problem attending classes.
Any feedback is appreciated.

I failed my P1 lo , 45 marks

this is not my 1st attempt, any advice on Paper P1 ?

nth to advise actually.
you need to have a clear understanding of the course notes, besides, learn to bluff in the exam, but not nonsense.
sure you will pass the paper.

i failed my p2 as well. i attended kasturi coll last sem -joe fang..which gives me quite a disappointment..advise to those who wanna go for P2 classes,can consider go to McOrange coz im attending now under Haneef..not bad..

Yes ACA is ICAEW.

Umm..anyone here can advise on whether BPP or Kaplan manual is better for P4? Thanks.

any suggestion in anwering p5 question or how to study it. i have been fail 5 time for this paper,really need some advice for those who pass this paper.thank

Huge difference :
1) Entry requirement:
ACA requires a minimum degree holder / professional qualification. ACCA only requires SPM leaver via CAT route. You can followed the sunway route but those are reserved for special few with nothing to live or die for. This enhance the prestige like CFA (US paper).

2) Reputation:
ACA is a must in Europe if you wish to become an executive officer. ACA grads are 5 times more likely to become a CEO/CFO than all other qualifications or degrees combined. Malaysia will not except to have one so ACCA will do but like in some audit firms, ICAEW is a must to enter partner level.

3) Study:
Technically there is no lecturer but for those who are willing to teach, one can enroll on such classes. One must STUDY & WORK together for ACA. They believe more in learning through doing which Is really practical especially regarding accounting or audit.

4) Fees:
Of course its more expensive than acca. Annual fees almost double (and in pound).

5) Difficulty:
This is rather a subjective issue cos I met some doing both but ACA is slightly harder on lower level difficulties compared to acca but comes to advance level is roughly the same. But the final few papers are case study.

Technically this paper is meant more for those foreigners since their working time is quite consistent (can leave at evening) so they can balance their study life with working. Plus their boss is more understanding too. In Malaysia this is quite the opposite unless you enter a MNC especially with Caucasian bosses. If not how on earth can you study and work with loads of projects deadline all over.

I don’t like acca, why ? It gave me a passport straight to hell faster than anyone else.

then how about CPA?

I dont think you can apply either book cos examiner doesnt even use either of that both. Stated clearly during examiner approach interview. Which is why more & more people avoiding it cos dont know what to expect. You can only predict the future using the past technique here. Meaning you must apply key principles in past year to apply in next exam. If you have done past year, you will realise each and every question is different from the prior period. Great right I also dont know what I was doing back then but I love it nonetheless

shall i know how long is one term of KSA?
