aap bsc kar ke finance mein shift kyun hona chahrahay ho??
i dont think you should waste your time in CAT, start ACCA directly and study with concentration and commitment.. inshallah you will succeed. the first 3 papers are very easy so you wont have many problems there.. it would be a good enough foundation.

THANK YOU SO MUCH GOD BLESS YOU ) YOU ARE A GREAT PERSON INDEED

Normally I advise people to go straight for ACCA and try to finish it within 2.5 years.
However as you have no accounting background I think it will be a better decision for you to do CAT first. It will give you strong foundations and help you in a lot of the ACCA exams as well.
In the end it depends on how much time and financial resources you can spare. If you work hard and clear papers in first attempts mostly, you can do CAT + ACCA in 3 years and ACCA alone in 2.5 years. The first option of course will be more expensive due to extra exam and tuition fees.

Look, as for your comment on MBA, its not so simple. I know MBAs who are doing very well both career wise and financially. However it is true that these days there only MBAs from one or two universities in Pakistan that are held in high esteem.
As for your problem, it might comfort you to know that double entry system in the beginning gives problems to a lot of people. It took me a year of studying A level accounting before I fully grasped it. Thats why I suggested CAT for you. The only solution is to keep practicing questions. With time you should be able understand it. It wont happen overnight though, give it some time and keep trying.

Hey, I hv completed my CAT exams n hv started ACCA. I think u shud go for CAT as u hv no prior knowledge of accounting. CAT is easy, Inshallah if u work hard enuf, u wont hv any prblm n it will provide u with a strong basis of accounting. ACCA is not a child's game u knw, so u shud really hav a strong grasp of the basics before u start professional studies.
Regards.

i really dont know what all these advices are about.. i mean i have seen science students clear ICAP CA (many in first attempt).. to ACCA to bachcha hai yaar CA k muqaable..
my advice remains.. better go directly for ACCA.. spend more time studying before you give the first papers but dont waste your time and money in CAT

You have a very black and white opinion on things, life is not so simple. Just because you have seen 'someone' doing CA easily does not mean everyone can. CAT exists for a reason, and its obvious that the person here is struggling with basic ACCA concepts.
Brother I dont know a about yourself but from the way you talk it seems to me you havent done any of these qualifications yourself and only speak from what you have heard from others and from rumors hearsay etc. Its only my opinion, please excuse me if Im wrong.
