The number of times you’ve faced failure in your exams shouldn’t be a source of fear. What truly matters is the lessons you derive from those failures. Embarking on your ACCA journey requires determination; once started, it’s important to persist and not give up halfway. Observing progress serves as a significant motivator, instills happiness, enhances self-esteem, and contributes to personal growth.

Studying ACCA can be challenging, but with a positive attitude, persistence, and discipline, you can overcome it. Focus on studying smart rather than just studying hard. However, if you want to unleash your full potential, strive to ‘study hard smartly’.

There are two things I hold much gratitude for in my ACCA journey. One is my friend, and the other, was UOW Malaysia KDU. Without the support of its outstanding lecturers, I wouldn’t have been able to pass all the ACCA papers in my first attempt. Their dedication was incomparable, and their expertise was boundless. They do not just prepare you for your exam, they make sure you understand.

I managed the study pressure by finding humor in everything, including ACCA learning contents. So, whenever I felt stagnant in my progress or stressed out in my studies, I would relate some of the contents to a joke.

One of the highlights of studying at UOW Malaysia KDU even in the midst of a pandemic, was the sheer passion shown by the lecturers, in particular Ms. Mary who taught me SBR. The people around you, your family, your friends, your lecturers, can assist you as much as they want but at the end of the day it’s down to you to put in the effort and you’ll know whether you’ve given it your all or not.

Practicing past years’ questions is a sure-fire way to understanding concepts & applying it in exams. Immediately revise after class.

At first, I was skeptical as I was told that studying accounts was only about numbers. However, after taking the first few foundation papers, I realised that ACCA was not all about figures but included other aspects such as taxation, audit and strategic planning. Through this course, I have learned the true meaning of perseverance and hard work. There were countless times where I stumbled and fell but my God, family and friends were my driving force that led me to where I am today. Never lose hope and you’ll soon discover that the finish line is not far behind!

My most memorable experience has got to be when I represented KDU to participate in the National Inter-Varsity Accounting Quiz (NIVAQ) with my close friends in our last year of studies. The way I see it, our team performed splendidly and we had so much fun we were all smiles during the two days of competition! I’m proud to say that we were placed first runner-up. In view of no one has done it before, it feels like it’s a milestone we have achieved together with PAC.

For sure improving your career prospects sound tempting enough but ACCA is not just that, ACCA also trained me how to reach certain stage of maturity to manage my finances, time and emotions well. With half the money and time required to complete the course compared to other programs, I believe I found my “short cuts”.

Being a little special as compared to normal scholarships, I was given a year to complete my Professional Level of ACCA before going over to BDO as an Audit Associate. On top of being offered a job, all my fees incurred during the final year of my studies were born by BDO. I had no need to worry over competition to secure a job later on nor tire myself out over working full-time while study part-time.

Studying while working may ramp up the pressure as you need to be disciplined in balancing your workload with studying, and with your personal life too. It is called professional level for a reason. It isn’t meant to be easy, but to say that it can NEVER be achieved is an overstatement.

No doubt, the ACCA journey is definitely a rollercoaster ride but that doesn’t mean you should quit easily. Always stay strong and focus on your goals. When you are focused, you will definitely achieve what you want in your life. There would be times when you would feel like dropping everything and quit, but just remember that you’ve gone this far and it would be a waste to give up at this part in your life.
