f7 kantoi !

There is an old saying, when you chase 2 rabbits, you will lose both when you can have one.

same

it was hard as hell.

wow.. f7 is getting difficult and difficult? then i cant imagine the difficulty level of p2..

Philip Woo is unlikely to join back Kasturi. In fact his base is more in S'pore.

Added on June 16, 2010, 12:46 amI've asked some of my friends who attended her class. The feedback is overall good.

However, some points to be pointed out by them:
- spent too much time on the whole syllabus, especially on the current issues.
- teaching is strict, forcing students to study the whole syllabus.
As a conclusion, not quite suitable for part timers, and those who are also taking other subjects.

since Mr Philip Woo is unlikely to join back KSA, for F8, Jackson Chan & Marcus Ong (KSA) and Sheila John (McO), could u comment a little bit if u know their teaching quality and so on?
thanks in advance

F7 really quite hard...Did my best so hope can pass

Why all said F7 difficult, P2 was killer, CSOCI came out, and I fell into examiner's trap, there was one subsidiary and another sub-subsidiary, I took both as subsidiary.

On top of that current issue came out as part of Q1, unavoidable, and another current issue in Q4 on leases.

sigh tell me about it... omg what happen to sme!!!! haizzzzz!

but i heard from my friends that, for the part timers, they have at least 2 classes per week, one of the classes is for current issue.
menon is a lecturer she will not give up any single corner even though the part of that IAS is minor, she will still approach it.
since you will never know what will come out in the exam, it is better to study the whole bulky syllabus to guarantee a pass for you.
isn't that better?

of cos her teaching is strict, her intention is, she wants all her students to pass this paper and get out from her class as soon as possible.
she never wants her students to be tortured by the IAS that always been revised once a year.
when you pass that paper, you will really appreciate her teaching methodology.

[FONT=Arial][FONT=Arial][FONT=Arial]For Joe Fang class, if you really feel want to study faster consol method, then baru consider la. Since Haneef class also 2 days per week, I think may be difficult for you to attend Joe Fang class for same sitting. I'm not advise you also attend Joe Fang revision class without attend his normal class.

kelvin's right here. Graham Holt's one unpredictable fella. Just like yesterday's paper, consol was kinda ok but the theory was the killer. Really expects you to know the IAS39 'tainting' and also a strong grasp of your IASs & IFRSs.

but he did make a slight change in the way that he examines the current issue question. on a normal basis, his article published in the Student Accountant magazine will touch on current issues and thereby it will be examined in the exam. however this time he chose to examine something that he totally didnt write about (or at least i've noticed), so better beware of his change in examination style in the upcoming exams...

Guys,

For P2, I just realized I put the figure 6/12 of the 3rd company into the SOCI without explaining with any workings... will I get marks for those figures?

Like 6/12 of the revenue, COS, all the way till income tax without even showing any workings or explanation.

Added on June 16, 2010, 10:23 amBtw, How bout P3... if I only can choose between Philip woo ( Taylors) & Marcus Ong ( Kasturi )class ... who is better? can describe their teaching method?

I heard that Philip woo only so so in p3?
Any comment on Marcus Ong teaching?

(because my P1 class timetable clash with Parimdar P3...so cant attend his class...)

perhaps you will still get marks for the calculation, but just a few marks. (did you state your workings beside the items in the CSOCI?)
explanation carries more marks to pass this paper.
good luck bro for your p3.
how is it now? well-prepared? btw, did ms wong give any tips during the last day edc?

Added on June 16, 2010, 10:34 ambesides, you need to make brief explanations for the Consol calculation part on the basis you used to carry out your workings.
so, it is pretty obvious that, calculation part is about 20+ marks over 35 marks.

I am in serious dilemma now. I am planning to take P6 as one of my optional paper, but could not decide on the other optional paper to take.

P4: I am considering to take this paper since people say we can learn a lot from this paper and I am really interested to learn more things which would be useful for my future as an accountant. However, the low passing rate scares me and the fact that this paper is really hard kind of puts me off. I struggle in my F9 also, so I don't know whether I could cope with it.

P5: Heard that this is the easiest paper to pass, but I haven't been studying costing for a real long time. In fact I didn't take F5 as well because I was exempted. I don't know whether I still remember how to do anything about management accounting lol.

P7: Don't really like audit, but I like theory papers more than calculation papers.

Is Andrew Kok good for P6 by the way?

heard that Bob Ryan had stepped down as the examiner of P4 with effective from this sitting. wonder the new examiner will make the passing rate a bit higher or not.
my friend who attended this paper last week, said, this paper is still difficult like hell, ask you to calculate by using the formulas provided in the question, where you cant find in the textbook or table provided.

Yea, my sister took P4 too and she said the same thing to me. Argh, very hard to make a decision

I'm not sure about Marcus Ong, may be you need to try. For Philip Woo, he is experience lecturer in this paper, just get some comment he is not so good as compare to Parmindar.
