guys i need ur help...
im currently holding a diploma in accounting from TARC n exempted for acca 1.1-2.2 (5 papers).i've been studying in TARC advance diploma for 2 sems but now i decided to quit coz it's kinda slow n not efficient.
i plan to take 2.3,2.4 n 2.5 for june 06 sitting; 2.6,3.2 n 3.4 for dec 06 sitting; 3.5,3.6 n 3.7 for june 07 sitting.
im considering systematic,kasturi or other inst. sunway is out of my list coz too far n expensive.
do u guys think i shud take 1 subject here n there or all subjects in 1 place? can u guys recommend any good lecturer for those papers? for tax im definately going for chong kuai fatt's class
plz guys...it's urgent here..thanx 1st

hey dude, sorry i'm a bit late.. u got my pm about it right? anyway, i was at PAAC and i've got to know quite a few of TARC ex student who didnt finish adv.dip there and came out to study ACCA.. they went in to study part 2.. according to them, TARC exams r internal and pretty easy maybe mainly bcos they r given tips?.. the only thing they have to worry is whether they can get distinction or not. passing is nothing to be worried about..
however, some of them failed ACCA part 2&3 papers couple of times.. and a new girl from TARC i recently knew just started ACCA part 2 last sitting.. she said it was tough.. n really worry whether she'll pass.. and mind u, i dun think she's stupid orsomething.. she's really hardworking n i can say that she's quite smart.. hearing that from her mouth confirmed that ACCA life is not easy as TARC life.. coming out to study is quite a challenge i suppose..
and the lecturer for my tax paper for the 1st half of the 2005, who was from ACCA long long time ago also mention what bravura said.. she said TARCians isnt ready for the sudden change in part 3 bcos they r so used to internal exams etc.. coming out to study part 3 ACCA is something like a culture shock.. it's hard to adapt.. that's y failing is quite common...
it's really ur choice whether to continue with adv.dip. or come out.. as to hopping between lecturers in different institutes.. it's very common in ACCA.. as for chong kwai fatt, i've heard about it too.. someone close to him(i think it's his mother, sorry if i'm wrong bout this) passed away.. he said he'll focus on consultancy n stopped lecturing and publishing books... a fren of mine who attended his IRC last sitting told me that..
actually sunway isnt really that expensive.. they give u more hours of classes..and u will really experience college life.. it's just whether u need it or not

2.4 maybe andrew pang in kasturi?, 2.5 u'll have quite a good range of choices.. haneff in systematic,keith farmer in ftms and also ms.kala in PAAC.. i was a former student of keith in 2.5, but attended kala's 3.6.. i think ms.kala is really helpful n nice.. furthermore,kala class is smaller.. thus, we are given more attention.. 2.3 i really dunno ler.. maybe ms.kok in PAAC?.. she taught me 3.2 and i thought she is pretty good.. i've never wander very far in search of lecturers.. environment is more important to me i guess... so i dunno bout other lecturers for 2.3,2.4,2.5

2.3 i was used to be taught by steve chia.. he was featured in ACCA Focus Newsletter.. he's now the youngest executive director in PwC.. too bad he isnt teaching anymore.. he's very very good.. very organised etc

2.4, chow kim tai didnt teach anymore.. so, hahaha i also dunno.. he taught me and i thought he's very good also.. unless u want to go to singapore to attend his class

phew.. long post.. anyway ,xcrue, no need wrry so much lar.. enjoy while u still can.. haha
