i also spent too much time on Q1 but i think not comprehensive enough. also not enough time to finish everything, at least i tried to answer all.

should not have chosen to answer Q3 as it has 3 parts, waste my time reading again and again. Q4 should be much easier. overall i think enough to pass

hahaha, no turning back already. get ready for p5 this thursday. my confidence level is reduced. OMG...

Not fast man..Assuming I pass these papers and continue taking 2 p papers per sem..Without failing I could only graduate at 23..Whereas those who started out same year with me had already graduated last sem

When I took this course I was thinking I would finish faster than my degree friends but turns out most of them has graduated this sem.

Anyway no other choice but to push forward! Good luck all!

no doubt the accounting standards are quite easy. that Q5 IAS 38 worths 12 marks, which can be said is a gift
aiyo, you all are so funny la. i am elder than you all, also not yet complained, you all so young make so much noise. really beh tahan......

for the past 3 years, i only pass 1 paper per sem due to i am working. there's nothing for you all to complain

Yea I understand la..but seeing as to how CAT and ACCA were promoted as a 3 year course, I just feel bad for not completing it within 3 years..

3-4 P papers? Actually I failed once in cat..from that point on I never felt confident in my studies already so I take less papers per sem..ended up I become damn slow (took 1 year to do f4,5,6)..  then I realize it was silly of me to lose confidence.. so now trying to pick up speed so I'm taking 4 papers (f7-p1)
You working mah..Your progress is understandable..I'm full time student 

trust me...don't try to spot. spotting is killing...
i kena when i m doing my f5. everyone said previous sitting linear programming came out, therefore no need to study. when i was reading my question, i almost fainted. what the heck, linear programming again!! thank god i passed...

i'm 24 this year and i m still doing my F level, so you're not alone. i hope i can complete my level 2 by june 2012.
btw i m a student that stand below the average level, poor english, no accounting nor finace background. you aren't that worst right? so wake up and fight back, pass these stupid paper.

haha bingo...some lecture they are damn confident when they spot question and i was influenced by my lecturer. (not to blame my lecturer)

one question..

F7, F8, F9 which paper time management is more crucial during the exam (in sequence) ? meaning i must quickly move on if i m stuck on the question...

i went to open tuition to see comments about P4, the 1st comment is "it was an easy paper for a well-prepared student"

ya i have to admit tat i was not well-prepared.

now when i see "interest rate", i'll feel very ill and dizzy

the major issue that i faced today was...i should have bought diapers!!!
i tahan from 4pm to 6:15pm ._.
i felt too shy to raise hand to ask permission to go toilet...wuwuwuwuwu

Hmm... Another option for me to consider. 
Finally! Someone I can relate to. Well, I'm pretty much a below average student. I don't do well with memorizing. I was also a science stream student in school. 
At the moment no. I was working some time back. But nothing related to accountancy though. I was doing credit control for a few months before quitting to start my ACCA.
Wow. Automatic qualification for MIA? 
Ah. So its accepted then. I'm in a sweet-sour moment at the moment. Sweet because there's still a chance for me to go abroad. Sour because I'm getting slowed down in ACCA.
Anybody coming home smiling after an examination should get their heads checked first (unless its the last day of exams  ).  

For P4,

Q2 and Q4 is pretty standard. If you did BPP's revision kit you would have came across similar questions. Do agree that Q1 has A LOT of calculations though, i finished Q1 by 4.50pm -.-""

Edit: What did Q2 said about basis risk ? I didn't read properly, did it say assume no basis risk and basis will decrease linearly to zero ?

Alex Watt's calculations are funny, nothing much for you to revise

i don't get you....

the cost of investment used to calculate ROI/RI is usually the net assets at beginning of the year, unless they give you comparative figure, ask you get the average lor

weyyyyy tomorrow P5 laaaaaa!!!!! scared la~~~~~
some more Alexx Watt's style seems like focusing on writing instead of computation

yes u are right.. calculation is really kill our time like my P4 yesterday.
and what ur fren said is very true =)
alexx Watt just set the question contain < 20 marks of calculation. Others for interpretation and theory..
where is ur exam hall my fren?

Aih my f7 today...my time management fail

It sucks man because I actually could do the paper..
