What do you have to do then?

Yeah bala - wot do you do

Let me guess - your a scientist

Will X ray vision contact lens ever be invented

Well i'm doing My Final ACCA Exams

before you ask-it a professional accountancy exams where average pass rate ranges between 35-55% pass rate between the papers.yes one of my paper has 35% pass rate

So you only just passed? Or does that mean you passed easily?

And are you at uni then? I thought you just worked and stuff now!

i finished uni in 2004 with a 2:2

this professional exam-when i mean pass rate 35% i mean of all student who sit the exam only 35% pass so 65% fail the exams-usually 10,000 people sit the exam so 6,500 student fail it.

i wish i was working-no luck.

This will probably sound stupid, but what are you doing this exam for, if you finished uni, and you're not working?

ive only done 3 hours of revising over 2 weeks!! but its boring even though im only doing maths, english and science.

i'm doing exam to be professional qualified. they don't let anyone be accountants you need to be qualified.

i'm not working because i can't get a job after my degree i went to a agency and they suggested i should do professional exams better chance of getting a job.

Well that's a bit silly, why couldn't you get a job?

quote:

why couldn't you get a job?

because i didn't have any previous experience

Yeah but you have to start somewhere i suppose.

yes but i want get a office job not work in tesco/sainsbury

Well obviously, but if you've done all that work at uni to get a degree in what you want to do i don't see why that's not good enough and why you need experience.

But i meant, how are you ever meant to get experience in a place like that if they never want to employ you

don't worry nicola that's my problem

Alot of people do ACCA or CIMA wher i work,

and the company pay for it, so you as unqualified accountant and then when you pass - you can work anywhere. Obviously the down side is that you have to study and work at the same time - but you do get extra leave for when exams come up.

I guess by not working you can concentrate fully on your studies.

but that easier said than done you can't spnd the whole day-i spend 4-5 hours a day along with attending full-time classes.

That sounds sooo boring! I think i would rather work in sainsburys!!
