hmm. if reservist. it depends on the schedule. for my batch, the officer is ok with it, provided it don't clash with main activity. you shld get a letter from your school to prove your lesson time also.

F1 is easy to self-study. Since u are already a ACCA student member u just need to go to SAA library and borrow the BPP F1 textbook and revision kit.

F2 and F3 are advisable to take lecture because u need good foundation for later modules. If u have relevant diploma, u should get exemptions.

Hi all, question for anyone who has taken P1 and P3. Does the syllabus for the 2 exams change? If i took classes but for some reason was unable to take the exam do I have to take classes again if sitting in the next session? I was thinking not because its not as dependent on for example tax rules which change from exam to exam. Thank you.

CBE u mean ? You have to go ICPAS to register both ACCA n icpas member 1st, 66 pounds for ACCA n 130 for icpas. Written exams are held at dec ,u can register thru e acca website, for CBE u need to go down SAA to register. exams are held every month n u get yr results straight away after u finish e exam, so u can attempt again n again from now till dec. Exam fees for CBE is 175 though while written is 50 pounds.

hi vbhhelper, im self studying F1-F3 now as well. i get notes n go thru the video lectures from this site n im goin to get the BPP study text from SAA as well. http://www.opentuition.com/acca/

Thanks for the site, looks pretty good. Are the notes there updated to the latest syllabus?

I would probably self study F1 but take classes for F2 and F3. I wonder why SAA included revision lessons in its F1 part time classes at Raffles Quay.

Any reasons why one should choose CBE instead of paper exams?

dun feel bad failing, once you have tat feeling, its gg liao. it should be better for u nxt round since u already did P2 before. P2 is about ur luck with the examiner nia, if he happy come out with a easy type of consolidation for Q1 then most likely u can pass if you can pluck in numbers and draw out whole financial statements. even if figures wrong also can gain alot working marks.

P3 i used to feel that it is very tough, now that im doing the OBU degree, i find it useful to apply for my project. if u r gd at business models understanding, shouldnt be a prob with P3 la. most pple fail P3 cos they cant apply the models into the scenario. P6 also ok 1 just brush up on ur basic like tax computation format for individual & company, know some basic reliefs, partial exemption and capital allowances for computation.

have fun with P papers, these papers give u indepth knowledges. u must learn to enjoy the lesson in order to do well and pass.

Hi Honge, may I know who is ur mentor for the OBU degree?

Does SAA or FTC have any such service whereby student can request a lecturer to be their mentor?

 

[hongge]

my mentor is khyron goh. i hardly communicate with him just once awhile email him to ask whether im on the right track. mentoring is important as u will be required to write this communication process as part of the 2000words learning experience.

Kaplan will assign mentor to u, u cant choose ur mentor unless u personally approach the lecturer and request for it. some very gd lecturers like sami do not take OBU students as they got no time.

if u have friends who is a CPA or ACCA member, ask them to be the mentor lor, save the $650 mentoring fee and able to skip the project presentation. imo, the email mentoring provided by kaplan not very useful and over-priced but signed up due to no CPA friends around to help me. maybe u can go the big4 thread and ask for someone who is already qualified to be ur mentor. haha

 

[vbhelper]

if selfstudy F1-F3, how long do u think the person is prepared to take CBE?

oic, thanks for the info

so is it a one time fee?
Does the sch provide any assistance like classes to educate students on how to start and work on the OBU degree?
Or are we on our own?

 

[hongge]

ya it is a 1-time fee. the package consists of 2 tutorials + 1 presentation. tut1 guides u how to prepare ur report, tut 2 guides u how to write the learning experience. the presentation of cos is to present ur proj to the grp.

other than the 2 tuts, u r on ur own, but u can email ur mentor to ask for advice. the proj submission dates are april and nov each yr i think. so if u signed now, u got 5mths to do it or even 10mths if u opt to submit in april.

CBE u get results str8 away eg if u take in aug n u failed u can attempt again in sep or as many times u want for this exam cycle.
