Hi Bitab 1, have you found out any info about your question regarding doing CPA if you have ACCA. I also would like to know since I have ACCA and am thinking about moving the LA.
Thanks!!To answer my question….no 3 questions anymore, only 1 statement of 200-300 words for each PER. However I would like to see a sample of such statements. Does anyone have such a sample. ACCA hasnt uploaded such a sample yet as they had for the old 3 Q format.
Thanks!!Has acca chnaged the per method? No 3 questions anymore? Just one 200-300 word narrative on each per? And how many pers are there. Is it 9 or 13 in total. Thanks!!

Failed with first attempt. feeling depressed as can not stop 2,5 year of failure with my last 3 examsDont be depressed Mila and dont give up. I also had trouble with F7 (pass on 3rd or 4th attemptbi think) and P2 (1st attempt pass). I realised these exams need me to come out of my comfort zone way of studing and do loads of questions and plenty of number crunching (esp for f7 …which i hate cause it boring). Once i accepted that it was ok…i passed both comfortably and now Im an affiliate. We all have different ways of studying and some exams need us to find news ways that are different from before. Let me know if you need any advice that you think i can help you with and Im sure many ppl here would be happy to offer advice!

must be the only one who failed this diabolical paper. on the verge of giving upAnna, please dont give up!!!! I passed 1st try with home study. I just did f7 revision plus some extra p2 bits then i studied heavily the articles. It was the most tirying exam study ever!!!! Read them all and learn them well…its more important than questions!!! I spend more than 7 days only reading them and if i hadnt i would have failed badly!! If there is anything you think I can help you with please ask me (and anyone else) just dont give up!!!!
Read ALL the articles and read them well. Info in rev kit is not enough it seems. I was also on the wrong path like u but when i realised all the great material in the articles I dedicated more than a week to studying them well. I work d!
1st attempt pass. I did basically f7 revision plus the extra P2 bits on consolidation etc but i spent the last week or more exlusively reading articles. All the info you need to pass the exam on the written/theoretical parts are there….and 65% of the exam is non numerical/theoretical! Number crunching alone will not get u far. I actually made a mess of the cosolidation but still passed. Hope this helps 🙂
Congrats!! I think I can beat you. I registered in 2000 and had 4 exams left after 8 or so years break and I did them all with solo home study and passed 3 of them first attempt. But attempted one at a time so u got me beat there…plus I havent been working in the inbetween years in the accounting sector so Im not sure how i will become a member..i have a bit under 2 years experience in audit. Need to do research to figure it out.
Thanks Mike. I will take a better look at your explanation when I come back to this subject(…in order not to waste time jumping back and forth since I moved on). It seems clear though at first look.
Once again thanks a million for always solving all our problems!!Thanks for your reply!
Actually I was kind of hoping you would say that because its far far easier!
In any case, to come to correct pricing and to be able to add a profit margin I still would have to make the table to allocate/apportion the costs to each unit but thats just management accounting.
But I still dont understand the logic because in years of heavy imports the profit for the year would be very low and if the next year I have few or no imports the profit would be artificially high since the costs of the inventory are not properly matched to the period that the items are sold. I guess accounting and management accounting are two different things.
Anyway. I got my answer. Thanks again!
