ACCA/CPA

[Zandon]

btw for FTC, is there study rooms there? is there a decent library that is like a library and not like a mama-shop(i.e SAA's)?

 

are the study rooms/library always full during the day?

 

and anyone know how FTMS is, in the context of above questions?

From the exterior, the library seems quite decent coz there are quite alot of books and a few desks for studying.

 

I think its open full day till 8pm if i am not wrong.

Never used it to be honest. The desks always seem occupied at evening time. I never pass there in the morning or afternoon so cant say how it is then.

hehe. i one week nv go sch liao. very sian. exams nearing and dont like teaching method of these 3 modules i'm taking now. first 2 was alot better. probably cos these 3 modules i'm taking now more essay based. depend more on self study rather than understanding and application like 1.1, 1.2 papers.

no la..

i newbie le..

1.1...

but now waiting for reply from SIM RMIT.

was thinking to chong two together..

whack myself until chai la chai la..

[angel22]

oh cant say for 1.1 .. but dont think 1.1 should be a problem

[angel22]

I need an opinion. It's bad enough I am feeling stressed out over exams. Got so much to memorise... and practice! To add to that, I still got a TP test hanging over my head. I feel like shredding my 2A book seriously.

 

I got revision class for paper 3.1 from 11 to 13 May. My 3rd attempt TP test is on 15 May. Shall I just cancel the TP test? I cant even find time to go for RC.. thats the worse part. BTW I think my riding is generally ok coz I failed my last 2 tests coz of immediate failures at plank not becoz i got alot of points or anything else. What will u guys do?

[Zandon]

just go for it. nothing to lose anyway.

do ur best and u will be good. really.

 

btw my 2a tp in dec05, a few days b4 exams, wad i do is focus on my studies. come to tp, go there and do ur best. i was lucky. i'm sure u will do better.

[angel22]

Ok so u know how i feel since your test was few days before exam. Then did u go for any RC before the test or not?

 

Thanks for the advice btw ! appreciate it !

No point doing Accounting at SIM RMIT and doing ACCA together.

 

They are both the same.

dun think they are the same..

ACCA is much better and cheaper!

but i believe it harder to pass..

 

RMIT should be easier much more expensive as compare to ACCA

not that prestige then ACCA.

upon graduation you still need to take some papers at ICPAS then can work toward your CPA title.

 

RMIT more expensive but easier

 

ACCA much cheaper but harder

Both is Accounting qualification.

 

ACCA is equivilant to a degree.

 

So why do both ACCA and an accounting degree at the same time?

 

I sugguest you stick to one and put all your effort into it.

 

All the best.

[HelmetBOX1605198525]

the problem is not whether ACCA is it equivalent to a degree.

 

if i will to choose once certification i will defiantly choose ACCA instead of RMIT degree.

 

the problem is i heard from people mostly working in accounting side that ACCA is very tough.especially the level 3..

 

i'm afraid that if i do ACCA ended up having nothing..

You will pass Level 3. Have confidence in yourself! It would be easier though if you had relevant practical experience though. Like 3.1 audit, my friend doing audit finds it so easy but I am struggling with it. sighs!

 

You should give ACCA a try. Level 2 is quite ok to go through if you did an accounting diploma in Poly (not sure about private) as its quite similar.

hahah

still deciding..
