for p2, i would suggest menon from sunway, i think the way she approaches this paper is quite well-known by the forumners at here.

if you decided to sign up as full time student at sunway, taking single paper in each sem is not allowed, unless you are part time student.
n the resource fees of rm 285 if i m not mistaken.

jen_mei,
exam fee n tuition fee are separate items.
exam fee is not included in the tuition fee where you need to make your payment through MyACCA portal or through bankdraft for each exam session.

Added on June 12, 2010, 11:39 pmlast time when i was taking p2, i felt very stress and want to give up ady.
suddenly menon's image came to my mind, totally scared me, if i am going to fail this paper, i have to see her again (those who attended menon's p2 class before, they will know how stress is her class)
right juz few hours before the exam, i opened her tutorial question, studied an IAS 19 past year question then went for exam.
out of my expectation, it appeared in the paper! i juz like, wtf! so coincidence! that question was just like a bonus to me n i managed to pass that paper by 51 marks.
but tat sitting p2 passing rate was quite low compared to Dec 2009.

anyway, wish you the best for this paper la. get through this paper as soon as possible

Added on June 12, 2010, 11:47 pmfor me, i think Mr Goh from sunway is doing quite a good job in p1 too. reli a nice guy in sunway ACCA lecturer team.
i like his p1 revision class very much, he types out his own answers for the past year questions in a short form, but ease of understanding.
however, his class is quite a bit boring, he just read his notes and make some explanations, but he will ask students to take down the notes that are important for understanding of some notes.

good luck to those taking p2 tomorrow. all the best.

sitting which paper tomorrow?

oh! tats good! suffer for 1 more day n you can enjoy your holidays d! all the best ya!

about 35% for calculations only, and thats the part (a) of question 1.
sometimes, it depends on the examiner, there will be calculation parts appeared in the other questions too (if you are lucky)
but don't hope to pass this paper on the calculation parts. they don't carry high marks for that, but discussion will be the favorite of Graham Holt.

why dont you consider Menon's P2 class in sunway?

oh.. that's too bad.

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

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.

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.

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.

lol, the p2 exam over already, dun care too much d la.
wait for the results

haha, this examiner Graham Holt is not an easy person, he wont make your life better, but more worse.
i passed this paper at 2nd attempt too. lol
anyway, i like this examiner, sometimes he is very lenient too.

Added on June 16, 2010, 1:38 pmunless the article is written by the examiner himself, there is a high chance that the topic will be examined.
if the articles are written by the lecturers of other college in UK, read them thoroughly, in case it really appears in the exams, you know how to answer. but there is a low chance those will be tested

lol.. that's unlucky to all of you for this sitting..
today's p3 killed us everywhere.. haiz.. damn upset today..

don't worry dude, you have 93 marks to go still..

quite difficult..
killed us here and there.. how do you think?

yeah, 1st time.

you will have to pay 10 pounds for it.
i dun think so that they will believe you didn't receive the student card, if you sit exams before, unless you are really new in ACCA
i faced this problem before, but was not that i lost my wallet, was because my card broken.
so i paid 10 pounds to replace a new one, about rm70+ that time. i just like, what the f u c k! just a bloody card cost me rm70+ for that.
but what to do?
2 weeks passed by, my card not yet delivered to me, so i wrote in to ACCA, inquire the reasons for the delay.
they said it will be delivered soon, so i kept waiting.
3rd week passed by, i still not yet receive my card, and again, i wrote to them again.

after few days, i received my card. another few more days later, i received my 2nd card again.
here comes the funniest part, again, i received my 3rd card! but, this time the card was printed with my name, but a "bangladesh" photo!

so, you can do like this too, keep on asking them why didn't you receive your card, and then they will keep sending your card.
but, don't be greedy, although 10 pounds for a student card as free is quite worthy to us la.
