Personal tax reliefs table is given, check it out here:

http://www.accaglobal.com/pubs/students/acca/exams/f6/past_papers/sgp/f6sgp_2010_jun_q.pdf

It is Jun10 question paper, take a look at page 2 and 3. Those figures and tables that are given to candidates are there. The rest you might have to remember, but remember only those "important", don't waste your time remembering those least important.

Part Time Vs Full TIme?

Hi all,

I'm looking for acca discussion forum the whole night until i saw this discussion forum which is still active till now.

I'm currently taking ACCA f2 & f3 part time at Kaplan. But am thinking of converting to full time during the January intake. One thing i'm not sure is what's the difference between full and part time? Just the afternoon and night class difference? Or full time classes will have longer hours of studies compared to part time? Please help if anyone has any idea. Thanks.

You local hor?

Full time and part time, the difference is only day/afternoon class and night class. If you are taking Kaplan, no difference in lesson hours, 3 hours standard. If you are taking SAA, lesson hours about 1/2 hour difference, 4 hours for day class, usually 3.5 hours for night class. Another difference, you see more international students in full time class, more local and adults in part time class.

Worth checking a few other things. May find that full time classes have a lot more students in than part-time. These full time classes are designed to meet visa rules so are aimed at international students. Part time is aimed more at those with jobs (so evening and weekend typically).

Some schools will give full timers longer course for their money, because being international they may not have much work income, and language may mean they need longer to understand teaching in English.

Also, some part time classes are shorter because students want shorter (due to job concerns), and because smaller class size allows faster teaching pace.

Try both - mix and match!

New ACCA school

There is a new ACCA and MBA school opening in Singapore. They aren't teaching yet, but will start in January. They have to wait for accreditation to be finished, but have got a campus already in CBD next to Raffles Place. They might even do revision classes before Dec exams.
They have thousands of students in London and are Kaplan's main competitor there - I know lots of their students in UK and they are worried best tutors will disappear to Singapore!

But I think they will try to steal best local tutors as well?

They are called LSBF.

December 2010

And Kaplan's biggest ACCA competitor in London is starting ACCA courses in January in Singapore at a new campus, so you might want to check them out before deciding Kaplan or SAA.

They are called LSBF.

hi, any one know whether the audit textbook is usuable to study for exam? From my knowledge, the book was being published for international usage, which means not singapore variant. Thx.

The International Audit Standards and the Singapore standards are really similar. Auditing is pretty similar worldwide.

Just bear in mind that if doing Sg audit variant, you are auditing accounts that follow Sg accounting standards not IFRS (although again, not many differences).

Also, the Sg variant paper might try to test local Sg audit-related laws (e.g. appointment, removal, audit exemption) - but a careful analysis of past papers shows the Sg and INT questions and answers are as close to identical as you can get!

ANyone retaking P7???

No, but if you want help on any P7 stuff feel free to pm me.

 

[raoul7370]

okie...but what are the papers that have a higher passing rate? :X...

not a good way to look at it. Just because the average student finds one paper easier to pass than another, this does not mean you will!

Also, pass rates vary from sitting to sitting anyway.

F5 has been bad but now F7 seems to be a problem. ACCA website has opened up "microsites" for F5, F7 and F8 (no doubt other papers will follow), suggesting those 3 examiners are the most concerned with the quality of answers

 

[raoul7370]

sian..pass my F3 62% but failed my F5 46%..goin to retake liao..

There's goin to be a major syllabus overhaul nxt yr so die die must pass my F5 & F6 this year.

Actually, the "overhaul" is not so bad on most papers. Don't let it worry you too much.

There is a student forum in UK called www.accountancystudents.co.uk where this has been discussed a bit - look for posts by Clare Finch.
