thanks.

actually i have wasted a lot of time, by right i could have graduated much earlier if i took more papers (at least 2) each semester. in the end i noticed that i am too slow, therefore i made up my mind to take P5 and P7 together.

I could only absorb around 20% to 30% during lecture class, i absorbed most of the knowledge during my study leave. as for p2, i did not know how to do conso during lecture, not even calculating the goodwill. i only have the motivation to study when exam is near, always last minute

P2 needs a lot of practice, practise on the revision kit for few rounds, put extra attention on new accounting standards and effective time management. you should be able to pass Good luck!

Wow, and you still passed p2? Damn hero man you. I'm taking P2 this sem and I'm in the same position as you were

Thanks for ur advice bro.. Well, what I do now is I just wanna practise all the pass year papers only.. I'm not planning to drop any papers of it... I know I can do it.. Just that I've to manage my schedule properly and put extra hard work only...

so any tips for p2 or not? especially the conso part.. it's very time consuming

nothingz oso can, y u kenot..

hahaha, don't always last minute. in case of any accident happens, you are done!

the only formula is keep on practising, be clear on the conso method you use since different lecturer taught different conso method, make it understandable for the marker. of course i never balanced my SOFP/SOCI/SOCF before in ACCA exams

conso question will have some notes asking you to make adjustment to the financial statements, if you don't know that part then just ignore it since your SOFP/SOCF will still balance. don't waste time on thinking how to do if you really have no idea.

time management is essential because in every question, the first 10-15 marks can be picked up easily. if you wasted too much time on Q1, you will end up not enough time on other questions. if you can pick up more than half of the marks of each question, your chance of passing is increased

When you study your P2 did you memorize all the ias (definition etc)? Or just learn how to do the adjustments only?

Thank you for your valuable tips! Honestly, I don't like to do the same questions more than once although last year my P3 lecturer told us to do that, I went agst his advice.... actually... I tried but i gave up simply because i find it quite a chore having to do the same question again when there are so many more questions not attempted.

However, I will heed your advice and try to do it for my P2 since it is going to be my last paper, I will force myself to do it.

Thank you once again! really want to get it done and over with.

my accounting standards were quite poor before P2 since i took my F7 in Dec'07 (self study), quite long time ago. even my p2 notes does not cover all the accounting standards because some were learned in F7.

my lecturer would remind us on some accounting standards when he discuss on the Q & A. i also practised on BPP revision kit, from there i learned a lot. you really need to know those accounting standards quite well otherwise you don't know what is wrong with the scenario, you don't know what to write also. these accounting standards will be relevant to P7 as well, memorise it well then can use on P7 again

for example, IAS 37, you must know how to differentiate provision and contingent liabilities (probable vs possible), IAS 38, what are the criterias to be recognised as development costs. These are must know lor

theory questions you may find it bored if you keep on repeating but for calculation question, it should be ok
