I will be sent to the country New Zealand. Wondering which college will i get. Is it true that those who get New Zealand will mostly go to Taylor's?

[Theen]

hey guys..
i also got jpa after appeal..
but i havent receive the offer letter..
when i checked, it wrote there, to new zealand..

[An Okay Student]

let's analyse cuteranger's summary:
the ratio of UK : New Zealand : Australia = 2 : 3 : 5
since 70 places is available for jpa accountancy ,
students going to these countries should be in the range of :
UK = 14
N.Z = 21
Aus = 35
maybe +/- 1 or 2 for appeal cases

well. hope u do great there. all the best to u too.
whichever way u look at it, u're still going to do accountancy.

[renZ]

I m interested in doing accountancy as well, but since there is only 70 places for accountancy in JPA, so i guess it should be very competitive right?
Is there any accountancy going to US?

[elaine412]

hi,what i want to ask is,
how many years do we need to study in malaysia before we go overseas?
or it depends on the countries we gt?

[yanno_yamster]

thx yanno 4 ur reply.mayb later we wil becum classmate,haha n oso elaine412 too.

Yeah, but dunno same college or not though...

[senksiang90]

To tell you the truth. For those sitting SAM acounting, it will be very easy and smooth sailing. Most will be theoretical which includes accounting concepts and etc. This is what my teacher told me about SAM. As for those doing Cambridge A Level like me, AS will be quite easy. It is above SPM/O Level a little bit only. However, in A2, it will be a torrid time when you have to learn much much more. It's like 10 times harder than AS. Oh yeah, for main difference between CAL and SAM is that CAL emphasizes more of opening accounts but SAM wants you to write essays. Something like that lar..

[elaine412]

seema like so far those who gt accountancy are female..
haha XD

[senksiang90]

Oh yeah, and nowadays, ACCA is no more encouraged to be taken. It is hard to pass. So, it's more recommended for you to take CAT.

sorry for my foolishness...
but may i know what are:AS ,A2 and CAL???

[yanno_yamster]

CAT is easier obviously because it's lower level than ACCA
AS and A2... :huh
CAL is Cambridge A-Level right?

[senksiang90]

If you are taking Cambridge A Level, you'll be sitting two final exams. The first final is known as AS(Advanced Subsidiary) and it is easier at this point. A2 is the second final exam and it is really no joke. Compared to Edexcel, CAL is much harder although the exam board is the same. Erm.. yes, CAL is Cambridge A Level.

[Xandra91]

OMG,sound tough for sitting accounting.
4 senksiang90,wher r u study nw?N do u noe if wanna to becum a qualify chartered accountant,hw many years tat normally to be taken n the process?

[senksiang90]

i am in taylor's university college. Erm, for basic degree it takes 3 years then the 4th year will be your honour year in the uni whereby u will really go into depth for accounting. After graduation, you have to undergo mentorship for 2 years and at the same time sit for several exams during these 2 years. After that, I',m not too sure... i do have a rough idea but i scared ajaran sesat.. but dont worry.. u'll know when the right time comes.

[yanno_yamster]

N do u noe if wanna to becum a qualify chartered accountant,hw many years tat normally to be taken n the process?

This one is according to Sunway University College...
After SPM -> CAT Introductory, Intermediate and Advanced Level (1 year) -> ACCA Skills (1 year) -> ACCA Professional (1 year) -> 3 years practical experience gained prior, during or subsequent to examinations -> Chartered Certified Accountant

[Xandra91]

Thx senksiang90 4 ur information.Wanna ask u if one of the exam,i mean 4 those paper which take after graduation is failed,izit nid to take again fr the beginning u take it o jz continue to sit the paper tat u failed?

[superdupree]

Calling all of you 2008 SPM achievers to join force and unite to appeal JPA in bringing back the Tajaan Tambahan for SPM high achievers, similar to the one for SPM 2007 achievers (given by our ex-PM: Pak Lah).

This scholarship is an automatic full sponsorship to pursue any course you like (Engineering, Law, Busines, Medicine, Pharmacy, Dentistry, Biotech and etc-you name it Jpa will give it to you) at the 4 foreign campuses namely Nottingham, Monash, Curtin Swinsburne and also AIMST.

The fate of your Tajaan Tambahan is still in limbo. JPA is still unsure whether to give or not to give. Everything is still gray.

So PLEASE join force. Appeal to any media(The Star, Sin Chew, NST, Utusan, Berita Harian), political parties (MCA, MIC, GERAKAN, PPP and all Barisan component parties), JPA website and our DEAR prime minister: Dato Seri Najib Abdul Razak

DO IT NOW BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE. Because most of the university intakes is within this month.

All of you who failed in the appeal or even those of you who already got the JPA scholarship but seen your friends in vain.

Do it for our generation, for your education opportunity and for the ease of your parent's financial burden. Do it for 1Malaysia, 1Unity, 1Education

[tienchuen1990]

There is bus provided... And you have to follow the bus schedule set, and you may need to learn how to take public bus when you miss the school buses or when they are over-crowded, which is an incident that happens all the time

[Xandra91]

Does anyone here conduct ur medical checkup at the gov hospital?Izit able to be completed b4 the date we go register at the college?

hongjy,which country wil u fly after ur college studies?

[Boyz_Zoo]

Does anyone here conduct ur medical checkup at the gov hospital?Izit able to be completed b4 the date we go register at the college?

hongjy,which country wil u fly after ur college studies?
I have conducted my medical examination at government hospital last week and will be getting it next week which is before my registration date.
Anyway, it depends on how busy is your state government hospital. The busier they are, the longer it will take.

Does anyone here conduct ur medical checkup at the gov hospital?Izit able to be completed b4 the date we go register at the college?

hongjy,which country wil u fly after ur college studies?

u should dare 2 ask d nurse n clinic helpers again n again....or else they won't care abt ur request...

bt wat i heard fr the officer of jpa,they said the medical checkup cn onli b conducted at gov hospital.If wan to conduct in the private,the choice should b the private hospital bt nt private clinic.I had told the hospital officer tat im rush to get it bt wat he said to me was there r too many cases b4 me and i was told to wait until 22 July.Somemore the report cum out on 22 July is onli for the Hiv n Hepatitis test,the nurse said the body checkup such as measure the pulse rate cn onli b conducted when the report of HIV n hepatitis cum out.So,wat should i do?y the report of u all cum out so fast,izit conducted at private hospital?

I did mine at gov hospital on 10 June and the result will be out on 22 June. It costed me RM 180. How fast you get the result really depends on how busy the hospital is...
(Sorry for being a busybody though since you actually directed the question at elaine :P)

I heard that JPA will choose the subjects for us. So, just hope they will choose the ones you like...

As for the documents, in short just bring everythinglah. Can't tell you the details yet because I myself haven't settle my documents... :notrust

[Xandra91]

Haha,at 1st im a bit worry tat it should b few of chinese who apply acconting bt seemed like so far all of u at here r chinese.Sorry 4 those who might gt irritated as i had no mean to act racialism.Today,i had heard some news fr my fren.They said the Aussies seemed like act discriminately to those Asean people n their eng accent had a bit weird,much more diff to the accent of british eng n american eng.Let us share abt wat we noe abt our course n anything abt aus,i think we may gt benefits!

[yanno_yamster]

We still need to wait at least 1 1/2 years before we can step onto the soils of Australia...
But yeah, I also heard before that Aussies don't really like Asians (or maybe just Asean people...) :???:
About their accents, one common thing I know (from tv) is that mate means friend.

[elaine412]

ya...their accent....
about the discrimination,
i always heard from some of my friends.....

[cindy1111]

Hi gal,
Would like to ask u gal a sensitive question ya.Hope u gal don mind
All jpa scholar who got offer for accounting course must get straight As in Spm?? :)

[Xandra91]

im dun sure bt i thought it wont b as some of them who did nt gt str8 A oso gt the psd scholarships for the other courses,it jz depends whether that course was competited by high aciever students ornt.If mostly the applicants r high achievers,then the selection of scholar 4 that course might b more stringent.I myself gt 14 A1 in SPM n if im nt wrong yanno yamster gt 11A1.For Elaine i dunno.Hw abt u Cindy?Hav u face any pro?

Woah, Xandra! Hebatnya... What extra subjects did you take? (Activates KPC mode :p)

[Xandra91]

Erm,bside the compulsary 11 subjects in my school,i took another 3 extra subjects tat r accounting,economy n general scienc.For yanno yamster,wat purpose inspired u to take accounting sinc u r a scienc stream student rite?

[yanno_yamster]

11 compulsory subjects? That's a lot... You're arts stream?

ALERT: Long-winded story ahead :sweat

I became interested in accountancy when I started learning Simpan Kira in KH. Then, I took Prinsip Akaun as an extra subject in SPM. Besides being quite interested in that subject, my mom says that accounting knowledge can be very useful later in life. But other than that, I originally never thought of delving any deeper into that subject; until NOW. Becoming an accountant was never really my first career choice as I wanted to pursue astronomy. But later on, after much thinking and advice from others I decided that accountancy is a more practical choice. And thus, I've now shifted my aim and will go all out for accountancy!!!

But Science will never really die in me... (Wah, it sounded so cheesy... Haha)

You didn't go for any tuition? I went for tuition. However, my teacher didn't finish the syllabus before SPM :shock:. So I hope I can refresh everything in college.

What did you get for SPM then, elaine? *KPC mode again*

[Xandra91]

No,i was a science student,sinc i was studied in smjk,there4 mine principal n teachers had urged all of us to take bc regardless of our wills,so pityful rite?there4 the compulsory subjects 4 my skul was totally 11.Mine story abt it oso long winded. Act at tat tym when applying 4 the jpa scholarships,i kept thinking abt to take accounting or actuarial scienc n suffered much of pressure fr my family,relativs,frens n teachers.All of their comments r different n i was so confused abt it.Some of them said as i was a scienc student ther4 i ought to chose scienc-related course n most of the entrepreneurs hav a scienc major instead of business major(im so eager to becum a businesswoman,haha). However,some of them said actuaial scienc is a extremely tough course n afraid i might hardly to catch up vf those who r smart n talented in mathematics.N until nw sometimes i wil judge myself whether mine decision at tat tym is correct ornt. Hav u all feel any regret 4 ur decision?

Your story is similar to mine, didn't know what course to apply for and different people gave different opinion.

LOL.. i just finish some part of my accounting assignment.. It is... crazy man.. when u see real acocunts and figures.. hahahhaha!!!! dammit..

Well, generally, if u wanna do well in accounting, concepts are actually very little. it is more about being meticulous and precise.. remembering which accounts go to where and most importantly, you dont double-post when there are over 50 ledgers u gotta open!!!!! hahaha

**oh, and those juniors who are going to apply accounting, UNSW is the best accounting school around, ranked 36 in the world by MBA. Melbourne BUsiness School is second in Australia and the rest are pretty shitty actually. Not in the top 100 for accounting.

And.. I also recommend.. despite University of Sydney being in the middle of the city, the buildings are old.. so i really reckon for you to apply to UNSw if you want to study in Sydney. The best faculty is of course the Australian School of Business and the buildings are much much more modern than the Harry Potter buildings in UniSyd. LOL.

I'm currently learning computerised accounting using MYOB. I would say it's pretty interesting albeit confusing at first.

Thanks for your recommendation. I've done some research and also found out that UNSW is the best for accounting. However, as one can never be 100% sure to be able to get the first option, can you recommend which universities I should apply for 2nd and 3rd options? Thanks... :)

p/s: Where are you now anyway? :laugh

Ohhh. Even JPA scholars have to apply to universities?

[yanno_yamster]

Yup but if several universities accept you, JPA will then choose which one you will go to in order not to have too many scholars in the same uni (that's what I heard).

I'm using MYOB to do Perdisco. Annoying accounting assignment.. Well, I am in UNSW actually. Well, the trick here is to apply to which university you actually want to go to.

I applied 3 and my choices was actually:
(1) University of Melbourne
(2) University of Sydney
(3) University of New South Wales

and Petronas chose UNSW for me. So, I had no choice. but now, I feel lucky to be coming here. It is way too awesome being here man. The food is expensive but less expensive as compared to UniSyd. we are in the suburb area but getting to the city takes around 1/2 hour and also 1/2 hour from the airport. In a way, UNSW is the centre of everything. Plus, it is not as city-like as UniSyd and it even has more trees than Taylor's! LOL. In a way, it's a very nice place to study.

University of Melbourne, I'm not too sure about how the commerce degree is. So, for further queries, you may want to ask youngyew since he's studying there. -or studied- i guess. hahaha.

anyone know what is the minimum ielts requirement set by jpa ?

...not too sure but I'm presuming 6.0.. but it's better to just check with university requirements since it is higher than JPA requirement.

[defectivelasagna]

hey guys if we get SAM as our pre-u from JPA/MARA for accountancy can we choose our own subjects?

[yzarcemina]

yea that's what i want to know as well... if you get the jpa scholarship, can we choose our own subjects for pre-u?

[yanno_yamster]

Unfortunately, no. But they do give you a bit of variation. For example, in my batch all accounting students have to study these subjects:

English as a Second Language Studies
Mathematical Studies
Accounting Studies
Economics

The only difference is that some of us take Specialist Mathematics as the 5th subject where as the rest take Psychology.

[yzarcemina]

oh... is ELS a traditional subject? like the science? wouldn't it be work overload to take specialist maths as the fifth sub?

[yanno_yamster]

oh... is ELS a traditional subject? like the science? wouldn't it be work overload to take specialist maths as the fifth sub?

ELS as in ESL? Please clarify on what you mean by traditional subject as well.
In SAM I'm quite sure you HAVE to take 5 subjects.

[Grazingstar]

I heard dat v study accountancy in BM in matrix or university Msia(exclude private uni),izit true???

[yanno_yamster]

It is in BM in Matriculation but I don't think this is so for universities. Not too sure about the latter.

[yzarcemina]

in matrix its most probably in malay.. but its in english in local unis including public unis as far as i know..

ELS as in ESL? Please clarify on what you mean by traditional subject as well.
In SAM I'm quite sure you HAVE to take 5 subjects.

oh i didnt know we're talking about SAM.. blur case..
yea you have to take 5 subs for SAM

erm the traditional subjects thing is only for uk and a levels i think..

[Dominic]

where do we study our foundation if we get jpa scholarship for accounting?

[defectivelasagna]

are the subjects important to get into aus uni? for example does accounting undergraduate entry require you to have mathematical studies? or is it as long as you reach their TER requirement?

[Young]

are the subjects important to get into aus uni? for example does accounting undergraduate entry require you to have mathematical studies? or is it as long as you reach their TER requirement?

Usually, subjects like accountancy or economics are not mandatory for admission. However, most universities require a certain degree of proficiency in mathematics.

This varies from university to university so depending on which institution you're applying to, the pre-requisites may differ.

well im aiming for Uni of sydney and i cant seem to find their requirement for accounting. all the other courses only states ATAR requirement, no specifics

[Young]

This is from the uni website:

[quote]here are no HSC course prerequisites for admission into the majority of the University

[defectivelasagna]

This is from the uni website:



This is a link showing assumed knowledge for all courses. Note that accounting is considered to be a major for economics/commerce.

http://www.usyd.edu.au/future_students/domestic_undergraduate/admissions/entry_requirements/assumed_knowledge.shtml
i cant find accounting on that list :S

so this assumed knowledge means you need to do well in the stated subjects or just take up the subjects?

Hi, I am new in Recom. I apply for accounting for JPA scholarship 2010 and until now I still havent receive any news about it. Can any1 tell me how u all know the result? By internet or by call? And can some1 plz give me the link to any news about JPA accounting?

i cant find accounting on that list :S

Obviously, you did not read my post clearly. As I said, Accounting in USyd is not a degree in itself but a major within Economics or Commerce.

Again, as I have quoted from the website, there is no formal pre-requisite (requirement) for the courses. However, university teachings assume that you have some knowledge of mathematics and therefore, will probably not cover that knowledge in your undergraduate education.

Hence, although not compulsory, it is probably recommended that you enrol in the Pre-U subjects where knowledge is assumed, so that you do not face difficulty in university.

I see, sorry for not understanding earlier on.

i wonder how difficult it is to achieve 95% ATAR.

No worries. :) Next time, try to have an eye for the details; you'll need a lot of that to be a good accountant. Heheh.

ATAR 95 isn't too hard to achieve if you put in reasonable effort. I completed AusMat about 2 years ago but if I remember correctly, a normalized and scaled average of about 75-80 should put you comfortably in the 95+ zone. :)

Where can I find the syllabus for Ausmat?
Are there standardized text books for Ausmat?

Nope, there are no standardised textbooks. Your lecturer will recommend them to you.

Okay. So, there's not much I can do now right?
I was just wondering if we will be studying with private students in Sunway UC or just with other JPA scholars?

[yanno_yamster]

You'll most likely study with other JPA scholars though in my intake there are a few private students (I don't know how they managed to be in the July intake in the first place, haha).

Ohh, okay :)
I know it's still early, but which universities can JPA scholars apply to in New Zealand?

dun wry so much about the unis. JPA will send u a list of Unis that that they approved and frm that list, u can apply.

Does JPA allow for a double major? Not a double degree, but a double major, like Bachelor of Commerce, major in Accounting and perhaps, Economics.

Unfortunately, no.

Hey, I have a question. You did the SACE right? Are the various kinds of Mathematics levels in SACE?

[yanno_yamster]

There are several math subjects. I only took Mathematical Studies so I can't compare with other math subjects. In the old syllabus (new syllabus beginning next year) there are Mathematical Applications, Mathematical Methods, Mathematical Studies and Specialist Mathematics. The new syllabus added Mathematics Pathways.

Oh. Okay. So, Mathematical studies comprises all these elements that you mentioned?
In WACE, there's Maths 3A/3B and the higher level Maths 3C/3D.

Oh yes, is there any specific Maths requirements based on the SACE for BCom at Australian Unis?

I'm not sure. My college only offers mathematical studies and specialist mathematics therefore I do not know much about the other math subjects. Math Studies has mainly calculus, statistics and matrices while Specialist Math has trigonometry, vector, etc. (a lot of SPM Add Maths topics but more advanced of course)

Oh yes, is there any specific Maths requirements based on the SACE for BCom at Australian Unis?

Some need both English and Mathematics as prerequisites such as UniQueensland, UniMelbourne, Monash, and Uni of Western Sydney. Some need just Math such as Curtin, Uni of Western Australia, UniTasmania, Queensland Uni of Technology, ANU, UNSW and UniSyd. The rest most likely do not have any specific prerequisites.
