you have to pass all F papers first. sorry for the misunderstanding. if you pass all, can get the cert I think.

there is no 'one way' to study P3 that can guarantee you a Pass. the important thing bout studying P3 is you must understand how business works, you then need to apply those models you have studied into the case studies such as 5 Forces, Value Chain Analysis etc. if you don't really know how it works, then you have to start bullshitting as if you know, try to get some marks there. After i took my P3 paper, i was not confident that i can pass because my sitting did not ask bout Value Chain/5 Forces, SWOT etc, almost all were scenarios where i have to start writing stories. As long as you write something which is relevant then should have some marks.

the new p5 examiner is very theoretical, now there is more theories in the paper compare with last time. It's more bout evaluation and application of models (quite similar to P3), P5 is like the upgraded version of P3. The last sitting i took P5, i actually did not know how to answer on the application of Performance Pyramid into the scenario & how to set KPI but i did not care much, i just keep on writing.

i also expected myself to fail after taking p3 and p5 but surprisingly i passed both with 60 and 66. As long as you are good in theory and writing, both should be ok

hi there. P1 is all about reading. theres a whole lot of stuff to memorize but memorizing isnt good enough unless you know how to anticipate the pattern of questions. So do a lot of past years and exam revision kit. That will guide you on how to arrange your answers accordingly. And time management is totally important.

as for p2, i failed myself 1st seating. they key failure was over emphasis on calculations and i poorly scored 35 marks only in fact nowadays, theoretical questions on standards IAS and IFRSs are bearing lot more marks than just calculation. Last seating i remembered theres only 30 marks for calculation and the rest for standards assuming u strike out the optional calculation question. also, P2 love to test new stuff. like when IFRS 9 came out, theres a whole 25 marks for that. they also like to test on issues with current accounting treatments, like weaknesses and such. i rectified my mistakes and got 58 this time. nothing much but its still something i can be proud of.


i'm sorry but i think there is no more CAT. They have replaced it with FiA i think.

does anyone has the latest F6 MYS text book for sale or photocopy?

Hurry up!!

Hi everyone. I just got my p1 failed.
Just wanted some opinions in choosing between (p1, p2, and p3) or (p1, p6, and p7)

* i had passed my F6 and F8 and i think i do have the knowledge from both papers. And since im graduated from degree which with no ideas at all in those F papers except F6 and F8. So i think choosing P6 and P7 give lil bit advantage for me at least.

So, which sounds better for P1 to be squeezing into. (enrolled P2 and P3 this semester)

Thanks

I wouldn't say the same for P6. F6 level tax with P6 level tax are worlds apart. Ask your lecturer. or maybe sifu here can explain? from what i heard, p6 is crazy

Time wise, if you do P1 with option p6 p7 is better. First, there is the gap. at least you will have the weekend and a few days until wednesday to prepare for P1. p123 is back to back and is such mental pain.

and then, theres the syllabus. There are internal control topic in P1 which could come in handy for P7. I think theres more to it than just internal controls.

I think it is better to concentrate on finishing off p1,p2 and p3 first.The optional papers leave it for next round.p6 and p7 got different focus from f6 and f8 so advantage wise is minimal.

I have last semester's book which I believe you can still use. PM me if interested?

Cheers

may i know this coming semester's F6 & P6 are examining on 2011 or 2012 budget?

thanks for the replies on the p3 guidance..

=============================================================================

oh, i seriously did not touch p3 syllabus at all for over a month. both papers p2 and p6 are quite heavy. i dont want to take any risk. hehe

My lecturer is Ms Kok from Sunway. You may attend her workshop. She covers majority of the syllabus during those period.

I heard Low Chin Ann is good too. Maybe you could ask your lecturer and discuss the problem.

Actually I do not have any confidence to pass the paper. I just wish to get 50 marks only.
