The paper that had the most reliable tips in the past has lost its glamour in recent times.
The paper does not seem to have the same level of predictability as was seen in the past sitting where the "myth" of accurate spots would make it easy to pass was created.
There is no such thing that you can predict with absolute accuracy what the paper will test - only reasonably good guesses.
At Jpro Training - we try not to rely on spots, but rather using a hard-core preparation approach of doing over more than 300 questions during the revision period.
In fact that was the reason for the pass rates for Pro to be in excess of 65% in the last Dec 2018 ACCA ATX examinations.
This was mainly due to the adaptation of the 5 step answering technique that was developed in Jpro to manage the exam questions.
The sad part is that, there are some out there that love to take risk and study last minute on a few spotted questions - this is a recipe for disaster.
Caution is required if your strategy for the ATX paper is to depend on a few questions only and not cover the whole syllabus.
In conclusion, is this the easiest optional paper in Malaysia?
To an extent it is easy due to nature of the questions but this is supported by good knowledge of the syllabus.
It would be considered hard due to the level of knowledge acquisition required for this paper - it is no near anything that was done in ACCA TX paper.
In fact, most of the students seem to think that ATX is similar to TX - not likely as the % of marks for computation has been reduced to 10 - 15% of the total marks.
In comparison, TX was a standardised paper with simple format for the memory to generate an answer.
Decide wisely on the choice of the specialisation paper that you decide to take.

There is no such thing as easy or hard paper in ACCA especially in Professional Level. If i smart but lazy, it's useless. If i lack of knowledge but hardworking also useless. I need to have a balance between smart and hardworking to be able to pass any ACCA Professional Paper. Study hard and smart, and never give up guys!
ReplyDeleteLearn a topic, then straightaway do all the related past year questions. We need a combination of knowledge and practical skills! We need to improve our writing skills too! Have the guidance through our lecturers since they know better and much more experience than us. Attend their class as much as possible. Learn all topics but at the same time knowing which is important to remember.
Which paper i should take in ACCA professional papers? It depends on our purpose in this life as an accountant. Not because of which is easy, which is hard...
