Get yourself a good tax text. SEYI OJO (Though relatively not up to date) but the principles are still the same.

Tax is always expected to be an easy exam but ICAN shock candidates with theories while most prepare for the traditional calculations.

all the best

I am also writing just this paper. Passed all but that subject in the last diet.
I have not started reading. Work has not allowed me to read. I will crash one week to exams.
I prefer theory to calculations. In theory, I can use idea, but calculation, it's either you know it or not.

i will advice you start reading your complete sports and more importantly 4-4-2 soccer magazine and if you want to get the best textbook on taxation ,lay your hand on Encomium magazine and City People. All the best in your examination.

That been the way for some diets now.

My advise.
Read you ICAN pack very well and familiarise yourself with the questions and answers (both theory and OBJ questions)

Get to understand some tax related current issues.

Pray and relax your brain before the exams.

Good luck!.

Please i am writing PE 2 FA and BCRM, i need MAY 2008 Pathfinder, can someone help me with the soft copy. i need it urgently.

all the best

what can i say?
may God follow u into d exams halls and grant u memory speed and good recollections.
you av gone thru alot: studied hard and recorded several sleepless nights, all that will be crowned by God.
As someone who was once in this stage of life and currently helping others prepare for same, i can only pray for u
Ican exams are more than ur preps, it is a test of mental stamina and long term determination and stubborness to achieve the golden ACA fleece.
In the exam hall, like a senior chartered acctant friend of mine told me when i was writing my PE 2-''wheneva u read a ques that looks like what u havent come across B4(even when u av extensively trashed that topic) in all ur months of preparatn,GIVE THEM ALL KNOWN ANSWERS AND IN ADDITION, ALL ANSWERS CREATIVELY PERCIEVED BY U TO BE RELEVANT TO THE QUES AT HAND, THERE SHD NOT BE 'A NO-IDEA' SITUATION FOR U''.that's is why it is ICAN.
It is well with you all!!

@MAXTOP
U may never have a tip of the feelings and psychological conditions these guys re presently, i dont blame you, u think say na ur Bsc wey u get by reading for it with biscuit and coke, in the comfort of ur sittting room? go and ask 1st class degree holders in accounting that av tasted ICAN and let me know the report of their comparism .

hmmm, is anybody feeling the way am feeling, Am sooo scared, i cant read and i cant sleep, am sooo tensed, somebody help, what do i do, am writing all four course in pe2, 1st attempt.

My people, try as much as possible to distract urself. if u like dancing do so, if u like taking walk do so if u like singing do so.
Do more of reversing your read work.it can be funny but remove fear and be positive against all odds. remeber success as many friends aim for it and believe in your heart that you will be there.

I AM WISHING ALL OF U WRITING THE BEST OF THE BEST.

i have been there and i know how it feels especially if you are writing a reseat.

Read well, sleep well and eat well

my dear,

yes you can make it.

during my time and my current practice,Taxation is my area of specialization.
what you have to do now is to reverse all you have instored in your brian.

please ensure you are conversant with tax laws and principles.
my pointing bar goes to the following topics:

1. companys income tax.

2. procedures for the issuance of tax clearance certificate.

3.treatment of business loss and computation of capital allowance.

4.forms of stamp duties and computation.

5. still review your commencement, change in accounting date and ceasation of trade.

6. lastly,dont rush any question,think ,understand and formulate the partain the answer will be and then write.

go to the once you know first,you must know that taxation is practical,always put your self as the tax consultant and the question is your cliet.

i wish you success,pass and join us.

you can call me: 08037223028.

bye.

The best strategy at this point in time is to solve many questions
as possible on any course your sitting for.

With less than 20 days to the exams proper, i'll advise you free
yourself from any form of distraction and look for a quiet place
to study.

Just incase your are interested in buying 10 diets of Pathfinder
questions and solutions for any level, kindly send me a mail
to achidera@gmail.com or better still, call 08023189838.

like manner send a mail to me.

I wish you the very best this diet.

God bless you.

All the best to the hardworking ones . . . . I advise against last-minute reading, not for ur ICAn. All in all, we hope to hear good news in the nearest future . . .

The code?, Make sure u finish the packs, 10 diets and ofcourse PRAY.very important!

hey t-cann, wht do u take bsc accounting for, I WANNA LET U KNOW THAT ICAN EXAM IS AS EASY AS ABC, AM NOT AN ICAN STUDENT YET BUT THE EXAM IS EASY NOW, AM CURRENTLY A 200L ACCOUNTING STUDENT OF LASU, U CANT COMPARE WHT WE UNDERGRADUATE ARE GOING THRU IN SCH TO ICAN, MANAGEMENT ACCOUNTING IS THE MOST EASIEST ACCOUNTING COURSES,

Hello Luvola,

I'm sure you are not 100% correct of what you are saying.

Management Accounting is the cheapest of all the courses and that ICAN Exams
is not as hard as people paint it to be.

Well, you are still in 200Level and i will not want to say much now.

Wait until you graduate and then you'll come and face reality. All that you do in the
school is stage managed with the lecturer giving you likely areas of concentration
so that you can channel all your energies and be focused in your studies.

My dear, ICAN Exams is not so. 1st class students are not exempted from the dazing
that comes from the exams.

I think the best thing for you to do is to keep mum and humble yourself until you've
done the exams and qualified, then are you free to make noise.

My candid counsel to you.

God bless you.

ICAN Exams
is not as hard as people paint it to be.

Thought I was the only one that believed this.
ICAN exams are overdreaded. All those assertions that ICAN deliberately fail people are unfounded.
I found it easier to pass ICAN than school exams. In ICAN, you can use general idea in most courses, but in Nigerian universities, you have to keep your idea in your pocket and write exactly what you were taught by your lecturer.

@ ICAN vs BSC

I would say it's relative, depending on the conditions existing at the different stages when a candidate is preparing.
I had all the time to read when i was in school, so why wont i leave with an upper credit, even as tough as my department was.

Unlike trying 2 combine work with ever voluminus syllabus of ICAN. There is no way one can cover 60-70%.Though I had a tough time making it through in ICAN, but with a MUST PASS SPIRIT, it's just like ystd.

Pls help I need to write this diet.

HEY ICAN STUDENTs IN THE HOUSE, THERE IS NOTHING IN ICAN, ICAN HAS A SYLABUS WHICH U MUST COMPLY WITH, BUT IN SCH, LECTURER WILL FUSTRATE U, IF MY FRIENDS IN SCH CAN PASS ICAN AND AM BETTER THAN THEM, Y CANT I PASS THE EXAM, FOR EXAMPLE, AM CURRENTLY OFFERING MGT ACCOUNTING AND I DO STUDY ICAN MGT ACC, MGT ACC BY ADENIYI ADENIJI (H.O.D ACC HOD), AS FAR AS AM CONCERN, ICAN EXAM IS TOO CHEAP, ICAN is reducing its standard and applying some marketing strategy to enable more students to b writing their exam, y do they change their credit system in 2005 ? i believe alot of ican students are crammers, let me giv the d following reason y a b.sc accounting student is better than an ican student



* a b.sc acc student will surely write a project while an ican student will not

* a b.sc acc wil do alot of external courses like - marketing,project evaluation, etc, ican student will only offer accouting oriented courses apart from bus law(ats 1), q.a in ats 2, mgt in ats 3,,

breaking news to accountant in the house, * CAMA TO B REVIEW NEXT YEAR , *****CAMD 2010*** , THAT MAY B D REASON Y ICAN WANT TO REVIEW ITS P.E SYLABUS BY 2010

All i have to tell all intending ICAN students is to go in and write the exam, the Almighty God will be with you all, just try as much as possible to do revision properly. i pray i will charter in future.

ameeeeeen , u will all pass in jesus name
