Subject help needed !!

[SalmanPakRocks]

Assalamullikum I m Science+Computer Student yet I will be appearing for accounts(O LEVELS) in October Session!! Will it further help me in my future as I will be changing from Science to Commerce in A levels and I m planning to do ACCA and then CA and furthermore if I take don't study Business Studies and Economics will I face difficulty in A level ?? and moreover can one do ACCA without actually going in Commerce ?? I mean by just appearing in Accounts in O and A levels ??

Yes you can do ACCA even if you do your A levels in complete Science subjects. It doesn't matter what subjects you choose. I have a friend whose brother did his A levels and O levels in science subjects but changed his mind when going in university. Instead of doing ACCA directly, you could do CAT first as if you pass CAT exams, then you won't have to give all the ACCA papers, you're exempted from giving them then. Moreover, once you do ACCA you can give CA exams in 8 months.

Yes O and A level accounts will greatly help you in ACCA.

Do remember though, that most universities prefer students who give A levels and O levels in commerce for ACCA and CA.

i think IBA is one i guess but i might be wrong as im not a business dude !!

 

[SalmanPakRocks]

ok thanks bro !!

 

[arlery]

IBA does not offer ACCA as it is not affiliated with the British Council.

Thanks for telling atleast now i know and clearing the misconception !!

 

[Silent Hunter]

what about doing economics in AS and A2 ....... if we have not taken it in O levels? can one still do accountancy without any problem..........and one more thing? i have heard that accountancy takes alot of time to be done and its very hard? is it so?

 

[arlery]

Not really, no. I didn't find any difficulty in studying accounts, even though I was studying it for the first time in my life. It just needs practise, and you need a good teacher to clear your concepts. Economics won't really help in accounts, so yes you can study it without any problem. You just need to grasp the concepts firmly. Accounts is a relatively easy subject. As I've said before, it just needs a lot of practise.

yeah you are 100% correct about accounts !! I m studying accounts for the first time and it just needs practice!! if u have the concept than it is very easy !!!

 

[Usman17]

@salman: Just curious... Is it interesting ? :?

 

[SalmanPakRocks]

Very much !!! I hate Physics and Chemistry !! but Account is some thing entirely different !! I love it !!

 

[Usman17]

Duhh Physics is so rocking!!! Chem is good too... lawl looks like its the inverse with me

 

[scouserlfc]

yeah just need concepts but the first chaps when u get to know abt the book keeping and those balance sheets and income statement are very important if u cant get this u cant get anything later so get that right and try to always balance the balance sheet correctly get the hang of its method and what can be classified as assets and liabilities as most of my friends loose marks on that part although its just school exams !!

 

[fasih94]

i have a similar problem. i ve taken all science subjects in o levels but now i want to shift to accounting in a levels. pleasetell me which subjects to take. i also do not want to drop chemistry,
confused.

 

[scouserlfc]

if u dont want to continue in the field which Biology offers then drop Bio in A levles but guys u must understand that only giving accounts will not help u in A levels i guess u also neeed some knowledge of commerce,business and eco if u can get them eco and business are almost same so u see its not like a quick fix !! ull have to find time to study this as well probably dont give their papers but u need to know what is in these subs atleast two of the three i mentioned !!

You can opt for Business Studies, Accounting and Math if you want to become a full fledge commerce student.
