Added on May 16, 2012, 11:09 pm1st...are you going to audit?

2nd ...if u just join from junior level ... not necessary to have p7 ... u need to learn from the very basic

p7 usually is for more higher level auditor since mainly it focus on how to plan audit rather than carry out an audit itself

3rd...what is ur preference in those 4 optional?

4th.... any good lecturers in those papers in ur area?

so problem is on your side

who ask u dun wan pay

then wan marah

and like i said ... we all can advise u according to our own experience and perspectives

which are mostly different...

one man's meat is one man's poison


u should decide it urself based on ur heart on which u have more interest/confident

so that u got no ppl to blame but urself should u fail

which i hope u won't

cos if u're really interested in it...u wont allow it to be failed right?

tips - the reason why many ppl fail in acca

not strange at all

by focusing more on some important chapters and lesser care to those not so important chapters

examiner can easily catch all students off guard if he really want to fail you all

i myself had tried this b4 ... not focusing on linear progression on f5 since it came out last sitting

oso did not revise on ABC as it was asked as well

when i flip the question booklet and saw both ABC and linear progression...I was stunned

however, "luck" did side me as I managed to get 51 ...so close to fail

thats why I emphasis on better not knowing the tips and rather revise all

and the luck I mentioned..apart from "preparation meets luck" from another forumer ...

it's the luck u got the questions u liked, have confident... rather than the questions spotted by lecturers but you're not really good with it... or u're not good with it but u have some luck to get 50% of the total marks

when u noe tips...u will tend to focus more and lost some care for others no matter how u argue

im not trying to stand on high ground and menegur u all

i was rushing for time so i leave short reply... if not i will type long posts

Added on May 18, 2012, 7:00 pmp/s: by revising all ... u can at least get 50% from all questions eventually (theoretically) rather than hoping to get 50% from those important chapters alone

maybe he's genius

anyway good luck with preparation u guys

hehe

if u really pay attention during lecture..it wont be a problem

revise using past years is the quickest way if u really dun have time left

my way of revision for multiple papers:


example u taking p7 p5 and p2 all different dates but have some revision time in between

i will just revise p2 n p5 1st and leave p7 the last..but longest time for duration of the revision

so that u can totally focus on p7 until it is over

and when u need to revise p2 n p5..u can do it faster in shorter period

since u have revised b4 ...

usefulness of the the tips can only be assessed after exam

unless you're a prophet thou

then how do you choose which tips to be relied on since there are so many sources of them

bpp

kaplan

open tuition

lecturers of different places

it's the same actually....

it's how are u going to pick which 1 u going to be used to complement ur preparation

since there are so many tips..which can cover as wide as whole syllabus if compare as a whole

unless all tips point to one thing...

at the end of day ... it's just easier to read all and not having to fear u miss out any

which is better preparation method after all

instead of hoping, you can decide ur destiny by urself

good night

as far as I'm concerned...passing rate of P6 increased since the change of examiner

Added on May 19, 2012, 6:05 pmand oh yea im taking p6 after failing p7 during 1st attempt

in addition..im exempted for f6 as well

the only disadv is u might not noe well about personal tax, partnership and etc

which may ask in a small part in p6 ...

for me..so far so good in p6...but i'll have to work harder on f6 syllabus when I start my revision

ok ...i'll have to confess I still watch Euro every night

i will suggest you to familiarise yourself with those key requirement of those standards

after that

go read pyq's Q4&5 and the answer straight away

try to absorb how they answer especially from the flow of explanation of standards and application on the questions


good luck everyone



p/s: the biggest risk of fresh grad entering audit firm (esp big 4) = no life

so hows p7?

TQM (Total Quality Management iirc) - a philosophy of zero defects in producing and continuous improvement

p/s: from the very beginning, i was against the idea of dropping one to concentrate solely on one but u might still pass... be positive
