Anyone here successfully self studied and passed P6? Any tips for this paper?

Guys anyone been under Mr siva nair from ftms for P6 revision? Would like to find out your opinions and possibly hear about his teaching style? Does he talk non stop/focus on theory/engage the students often by asking questions/etc?

Who's question are u referring to?

I searched previous threads finding some info on Choon Kwai Fatt's revision classes but seems like I can't find what I'm searching for. I want to find out his style of teaching. Does he revise the whole syllabus? Does he engage the students or just talk non-stop? Etc.

Finding the right revision class for P6 currently.

Edit: To be more specific, I'm looking at Siva Nair and CKF's revision. Undecided which to go.

You attended the last round? I thought you are working for CKF as I see your posts from way way back in '06.

I'd say determination and hard work.

Don't worry about the docket, since it is what ACCA provide you with.

Any calculator is fine as long as it cannot be programmed (i.e. anything that helps you gain an unfair advantage is not allowed)

I think each lecturer has his/her pros and cons. See first post for recommendation. I think any papers can be self-studied, given enough effort but would advice for you to go classes for at least F5 and F6.

Hope you're not talking about it for this sitting.

Like I said above, it's possible to self-study any papers if you work really hard and put in enough effort.

Based on my experience, I would say P1 and P3 are among the easier P level papers to self-study, because they are mostly theories and I don't find them being too technical. But if you can afford, why not go for class?

Hahaha this just cracks me up.

Good luck man..Think you need it. Both also difficult especially P2.

Focus on current issue. Usually Q4 is (free) easy marks.

Don't worry about P5. It's not as difficult as most people make it out to be. Just do your best!

Why die? Relax man. F5 and F9 shouldn't be a problem. Mostly calculations based which should be relatively easy to pass.

How much have you prepared for those 3 papers?

Don't ignore current issue. It will help you get your pass in P2.

How was p5? Easy?

I see. TP and ABC should be okay for most I guess..

You read through but cannot answer? Firstly do you understand the concepts and whatnot of the syllabus? Even if you don't, you should be able to answer some based on memory work.

Read the PYQs and see how they present the answers. From there, you should be able to get an idea on how to draw your own answers and apply what you read.

If I'm not wrong they only penalize you once. Meaning only first figure would be wrong, and the examiner would have taken into account that the other wrong figures are caused by the first one.

Yeah, P6 was very doable. Everyone seems to think that. But I think I messed up my paper

Andrew Pang is a real monotonous guy. He sits down and do calculations all day from my experience. and sometimes i don't get what he is trying to say.

Alan Yeo's class also quite boring the way he teaches.
Andrew Kok is not bad. At least he talks clearly.

Have to agree with Mr Jay here. You may very well be able to pass with a miracle.

Well, at this point of time you will have to rely on memory work already. Pick a few hot topic and just memorize them. If they come out, vomit everything you memorize. If they don't, then pick the other question.

I guess this will make the pass rates significantly improve for the F level. But it makes me wonder how will they fare when they advance to the P level where it's all written and much more difficult.

Huh?

Assuming you have above average intelligence why not just do ACCA directly? It's faster and also a higher qualification than a degree. Usually people who takes the degree route are "playing it safe".

Oh I see. I was under the impression that this is your choice. I would say it is better to focus on your degree first and after that you could do ACCA part time while working (which would be taken into account for the 3 years working experience requirement) or spend 1 year to do the professional course full time with the available exemptions.

I feel it's a waste to do them both concurrently since you would be eligible for the exemptions after the degree anyway.

About my comment that degree is a "safer" choice..I meant that in comparison to the relative difference in difficulty between obtaining a degree and ACCA.
