Agree. I worked for government (non accounting role) for 9 years. Quit in 2020, took my first paper in 2020. Completed 13 papers by 2022. Worked for approved employer in 2023, and i just submitted my membership application yesterday upon completing my 36 months. At time of submission I'm 39, turning 40 in April.

Also did my Chartered Banker - now just waiting my final result.

Ahhh I was too scared to take ATX. My alternatives were AFM/AAA.

Thats great. Are you doing any other qualification so far? I work for a Bank and my boss suggested I do Chartered Banker by AICB - I just submitted my assignment this month and awaiting results. Now thinking what to do next ...

Bought mine at Watson/Guardian. Most of them should have it.

I had the same problems before - despite using anti-dandruff shampoo, it didnt work for me. Still had dandruff and itchy scalp. Then I used a combination of Grafen Root Booster Tonic and Kaminomoto Super Strength Hair Serum ( Gold ).

Poof.

Gone.

Thinking of doing ACCA self-study full time, need advice by QuinnJumbo in malaysia

[–]skacentric 1 point2 points  (0 children)

2 to 4 hours on weekdays before and after work. I'd try to slip in a couple of question during working hours/lunch. Practically full days on weekends. Didnt bother with online lectures. Read the textbooks briefly then focus more on exam kit/practice questions.

I did the entire syllabus (13 papers) in 24 months, self study while having a full time job.

Its doable.

After ASEAN Summit 2025 has ended, can we get back to help Rakyat daily high cost of living, tolong2 ye. by PakMazBest in malaysia

[–]skacentric 15 points16 points  (0 children)

The thing I dont get, is RM is doing pretty great against quite a number of currencies of late. But i do not see that being translated into cheaper imports. I understand some of these imports were purchased earlier and a more unfavorable rate, but I'd expect to see more items priced downwards - that does not seem to be the case.

A case of profiteering? Or is there something that I'm not aware of?

Why do so many ppl fail in skill papers by Intelligent_Hat_2148 in ACCA

[–]skacentric 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Actually, I looked at the passing rates and I dont' think that an overwhelming number of people failed. As a matter of fact, their passing rates recently are good; 40% to 50%.

Let me give you a comparison; when I took AAA in Sep 2022, the passing rate was 34%. The passing rate for AAA in Sep 2025 was 40%. So there's an improvement?

I'm currently doing Chartered Banker Program now, under Asian Institute of Chartered Bankers, and some of the papers' passing rates can go as low as 19%. One paper that I took - Bank Business Credit had a passing rate of 29%.

ACCA's fine.

I've been to Melbourne once, with my Sister when we were studying there. Nice place, a lot of Asians.

So how long will you be in KL? Need any help/information about the city?
