I am looking for this sitting Term 1 notes from Mr Ian Lim F9. Please contact me if you happen to be one of them thank you.

HI anyone taking F8 Sheila and F9 Ian Lim full time class here?

In TARC, you will get additional diploma and advanced diploma certificate and probably a degree from Sheffield Hallam University . In Kasturi, you can go for the OBU degree. It takes approximately a year longer to finish ACCA in TARC compared to Kasturi provided that you pass everything in one go and you take about three papers at a sitting.

Nope. It takes about 4-5 years to complete ACCA in TARC. If you are in AFA course, it took about 4 years to complete your ACCA but if you are in AAC course, it would take about five years. Students normally completed their diploma in about 1 year and 10 months and advanced diploma (in AFA) would be completed in two years generally, which is about 4 years.

I didn't know we can get Kaplan books from TARC. During my studies there, we would need to buy from the Singapore distributor. So things have changed now eh? At least the students don't have to bear expensive fees when they import the books in anymore since TARC students generally do not fall into rich category.

Will the F6 notes be relevant when I want to take P6 in the future? Should I keep it because there are people PM-ing me and I am not sure whether I should sell it just in case I need it in the future?

Well, that's what I have been thinking about, so I am thinking that selling it won't so any harm, but then some basic things would probably remain the same so yea, was thinking about keeping them as reference as well?

So the notes are no longer useful?

Went to Low Chin Ann's IRC last sitting, and basically his style was to cover almost the whole syllabus in the IRC. He gives lots of questions on almost the whole syllabus(except those very minor and unimportant parts, though they may come out also) and practise them with us, rather than spotting only several questions to practise with us. He wold tell us which question would likely come out as well. Not sure whether his style would change this year or not though. Never been to Siva Nair's class.

I would say it is definitely true! That's how I passed my F8 in first sitting with reasonably satisfactory marks

Philip Woo's P1 revision class is really late this year and I am thinking not to attend it since I think it is better for me to stay at home and use productively the two days time. I usually cannot concentrate in really long classes. Can anyone give me some insight on how Philip conducts his IRC? If it is just some normal brief summary of what he taught in class and going through some past year questions, I would probably skip his classes, or is his IRC really helpful for the exams? I attended his normal classes by the way

Little box? I cannot remember anything about little box, but anyway, thanks a lot for your comment. Did he do any other questions besides PYQ or those questions from BPP?

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?

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

I also use IAS 39 because never heard of management of income at all lol. Guess that my marks are gone T__T

P5 wasn't like F5? Because I totally forgot what F5 was about

sounds like p5 is ok wo. aiyo how to choose now haha

Can anyone please comment whether taking P4 or P5 is better? Pros and cons please. Thanks

The thing is I have decided to take P6 as one of my options so it is either P4 or P5 only

Ian Lim is not teaching next sitting, he will be replaced by Mr Chan Tze Kang, the one used to teach P4 at McO

is mr goh good for p3?

PWC is bronze. KPMG I think is silver or gold cannot remember. None of them is platinum

ACCa just emailed my sister about the career fair and they list the exhibitors according to their status and in that email, it said that PWC is bronze ?
