Does anyone have any idea where to get this book? Thanks! smile.gif
I also noticed there are 2 versions of the book:

1) Exploring Corporate Strategy: Text only
2) Exploring Corporate Strategy: Text and cases

Does that mean the 2nd one would be better?

the second is better,if u wanna related to real life case study..
but of coz,the case is too bulky..and too many case study,and not suitable for 4month course like acca..but u can juz choose the case study which one u want to refer to. i have the book(2nd one) didnt have time to go through the case study,only read during my free time..

I did take my P5 at Mc Orange a year ago. I cant remember the lecturer's name, but he was very good. His revision course was trully wonderful. I think he is still there. Do give them a ring (03-2032 3118) and talk to them.

All the best

ACCA pass rates are ‘depressing’

The June ACCA pass rates have prompted a string of lecturers to ask what exactly is happening at ACCA after the latest 'depressing' pass rates from June were released.

Freelance lecturer Sunil Bhandari told PASS: 'The latest ACCA pass rates are depressing to read. F7 and F8 are in the 30's and F9 has just scraped into the 40's.

'(Education chief) Clare Minchington has highlighted the improvement in the F5 pass rate but the examiner who delivered that (Geoff Cordwell) has been sacked.'

The greatest worry lies at the final option level papers. Lecturers are asking how students who pass papers P1-P3 can then struggle at the option papers - the failure rate is around 65%.

Another lecturer added: 'It is not the students that have failed but the ACCA. The ACCA said it will meet the tuition providers to improve pass rates. Which tuition providers are we talking about? Those based in the UK or those operating where the greatest ACCA revenue is generated outside these shores? Unless we get some analysis of pass percentages per college and country how can things get better. ACCA must be joking?'

Lecturers are also concerned that ACCA has still to reveal who will be the new F5 (where pass rates are now great) P4 and P5 examiners.

Hey guys,

I've heard that your choices of optional papers (p4,p5,p6,p7) will affect your future in a way.(not sure how and in what ways) but how true is that? Some seniors told me p5 is not so useful and not many students actually chose p5 as their optional paper. Can you guys enlighten me on this issue?

Thanks a bunch!

maybe not wholly useful,but at least the main thing is to finish and get ACCA..

Rumours is that results day has been postponed to 24th, is it true?

We will start to despatch exam results via email the week commencing Monday 22 February and you will also be able to access your results via myACCA opens in a new window

Exam results will be sent via post to all students from Wednesday 24 February.
