You can see in your ACS results when your actual experience starts to count:
"The following employment after June 2010 is considered to equate to work at an appropriately skilled level and relevant to 261311 (Analyst Programmer) of the ANZSCO Code."
So in my case, my "experience" starts from June 2010 until date of ACS submission (June 2014).

Associate Degree holders automatically gets a 5 year deduction while Bachelor's get deducted 2 years. It's possible to get more deductions (for any degree) if your work experience does not align with your nominated ANZCO job description.

But maybe I'm wrong din. Maybe the reason I didn't get the Bachelor's degree is because my curriculum didn't match the ANZCO code's subjects perfectly. Yun BSCS curriculum ko kasi was from 1996 pa. When I looked at the current BSCS curriculum from my school, it almost seemed like it was for a different course.
