ACCA Optionals

frodo baggin — Mon, 10 Sep 2012 19:27:02 +0800

There have been many students that have asked advice on this matter and it would be a good idea to get a pool done to see the Malaysian view of the papers.

There are 3 types of known views
- I like the paper
- I heard it is easy
- I hated the F version of this paper

My time there was no options only mandatory death by doing all papers and if fail one, repeat all 3 papers one more time.
