General information
F1 ~ F3 (AKA Level 1 paper )
You must have completed these paper before you can proceed to F4 ~ F9
OR
You can take them together in one sitting with one of the F4 ~ F9 paper.
Even if you have opted for the CBE for F1 ~ F3, you are still restricted to 4 paper per exam sitting / semester

Illustration
If it is the first time you are doing ACCA
F1 to F3 with either 1 of the F4 ~ F9 paper

If you have cleared 1 of the F1 ~ F3 paper, eg F2
Then you are allow, up to maximum of 4 paper, F1 & F3 plus either of 2 of the F4 ~ F9 paper

F4 ~ F9 (AKA Level 2 paper)
You must have completed these paper before you can proceed to P1 ~ P3
OR
You can take them together in one sitting with one of the P1 ~ P3 paper.

Illustration
If you have not clear any of the level 2 paper, you are not allow to do any of the P paper.
If you have cleared at least 3 of the level 2 paper, you can take the rest of the level 2 paper plus 1 of the P1 ~ P3 paper. However, you are not allow to do the optional paper. Explained in the P paper explanation

If you have cleared 5 of the level 2 paper, you can take the last level 2 paper with all 3 P1 to P3 paper. However, you are not allow to take the optional paper. Explained in the P paper explanation.


P1 ~ P3 (AKA Level 3 compulsory paper)
You must have cleared the level 2 paper before you are allowed to do the Level 3 paper.
Or
You can to it together in 1 sitting. I hope the illustration in the level 2 paper should give you an explanation to it.

P4 ~ P7 (AKA Level 3 optional paper)
You are required to do at least 2 of the optional paper.

You are required to have cleared the level 3 compulsory and all Level 2 paper before you are allow to do the optional paper. OR
You can do the the optional paper together with Level 2 and/or level 3 compulsory paper in the same siting.

Illustration
Important. Some of us has made this mistake.
If, you have not cleared F7, you will not be able to do P2 because they fall on the same exam date. As you have to complete level 3 compulsory paper, you will not be able to do any of the optional paper.

A Note to all above illustration, please consider the exam date when selecting the paper you are doing. Please refer to above for the exam seq and date.

For registration with SAA or Kaplan or FTMS

The five children I exaggerate.. but my uncle 1k bring up two children. Also, for me, my monthly spending is very little despite having two children. Stay with parents very seldom go out take bus seldom take taxi. Of course I sometimes spend like a lv bag for my wife but if I cannot afford of course won buy.

I duno... if you say before 2008.... everything is really affordable. NOW I've calculated and everything seems so difficult... can only take care and feed myself .. how to have a wife, a house and 2 kids ??!

 

[hongge]

do company hire fresh graduate?

y not? but don't expect too high pay. When i got my acca, i joined a local listed company as group accountant. doing consolidation and management reporting. everything learned in P2 will be put into daily use. within 6months, i could perform full consolidation for a group of 30 companies.

1: firstly, certain people are not elligible to work: ppl like foreign students. 2ndly, not everyone can be a tutor., so funny that u tink everyone can teach tuition. ask jonathan wong. 3rdly, not everyone elligible for work. certain people have other duties: some have constant charaty work, some have to take care of younger siblings and some have to take care of grandparents. lastly, not everyone can work while study yet score well. so funny that u tink everyone can get a tuition job.

2: average living standard simply means average singaporeans enjoy. for example now average pocket money for undegrad is $500 per month, thats the average. 10 years later maybe it is 700, thats the average. thats most people having at that time. seriously, do u bother to understand to economy of singaporeans, or u satisfy with yourself only?

i am not saying it is impossible, i am saying it is not good to be like this. can u imagine if your kids is doing so well that he can be qualify for harvard, stamford or oxbridge? and because of your $1k income u cant afford to send him overseas, or even a local uni?

i am not sure when u saying it is possible u actually have the first hand experience. to be frank, i tell u, the it is possible is often the parents saying it, but the child, they dont agree it, or force to agree the harsh fact of life. so unfair for those kids.

P/S: sorry for the typing problem, i need to think twice before i really change a keyboard. this is what happens to someone who brought ur from a family earning $1.5k per month.

 

[maisatomai]

My last comment as i do not want to flood the thread.

1. Tuition is a common part time uni ppl do. Can do others, like security guard, which pay more than $80. Of course i not referring to minority such as foreign students.

2. $500 for uni expenses? If not rich, then dun go clubbing. What other activities u want to do? For my uni, i never stepped into starbucks. Ya kun kopi cheaper. The transport cost about 70 per month. Lunch eat in school 3 dollar max.

3. If my son and daughter are smart to go ivy school, then they will have won scholarship like mr wong liao. As i say, i never spend my parent single cent in uni. Tuition loan 100% from nus and still can lend 3.6k per year as living expense. Scholarship dun count. But of course, my view is only restricted to nus oni.

4. I not blaming my parents for not being rich enough to send me to medical school in us or else now i become doctor liao.


Please note i not starting another flame war or against anyone. I just wish to raise awareness living with 1k can be done.

hey hey lets stop here before things get worst..or start your own thread..acca thread here...

anyway anybody taking P1 going to Andy Tan's class next sem?

 

[Konnichiwa]

that's why I hope to learn from maisatomi how he can achieve it.


I had a hard time figuring out your english spelling ...

Everyone take care of his own pocket.

1k not possible la. Anyway, these days, aside from uneducated retiree uncles and aunties clearing trays in foodcourts (no disrespect to an honest living), few middle-age and healthy singaporeans actually earn 1k. Even ITE grads earn between 1.1 to 1.4k. That aside, those who marry will usually have 2 working adults, even if both are ITE grads, that's already 2.2 - 2.8k. Enough for a 3 room flat and a kid perhaps. Not more than that unless you want to live really frugally.

No offence bro, how did you manage to support your your education expenses with just a 4k salary? (and even less previously I would suppose) I am a bachelor and I also earn 4k, and i'm certainly not living as comfortably as i would hope to be, bearing in mind a large portion of it goes towards paying back my SMU school fees, insurance, and household.
