Are there any JPRO which is fully online-based?

I was with Spencer for 1 session for P5. He focus a lot on theory parts and he also mentioned that theory is his forte. He does make the lectures interesting too and not just monotonous.

Regarding the IRC class..I think it heavily depends on the lecturer. I attended before and my experience there was rather unpleasant but it's due to the lecturers and not the institute in itself.

Oh no. I mentioned that Spencer is pretty interesting. At least the way he teaches theory he uses mind maps and key words a lot to help you remember points.

Ah damn, mine is still the usual one

Nothing much will happen. In fact, I never attend any of their PTs or mocks.

So how was your result? All passed as you have predicted?

I wouldn't recommend Andrew Pang. Had a lousy experience under him.

I still have P6, but I am not with Sunway for this paper.

Yeah, I heard Sanjetha is good. If you want you could probably self study F4 as well.

Well, for P1 I had a lecturer who just reads the textbook out to us. It's based a lot on memory work and common sense for the elaboration part. What I did was memorize a few of the important models and key-terms. Then I just went in and elaborate as much as I could using those points while still trying to make sense. I passed it with 1 attempt.

For P3 it's basically the same. A bunch of models which you will have to memorize and apply to the questions.

For F4, I only studied the PYQ. Actually to be exact I only read through the answers of those PYQ and highlight the important points. Also, don't be under the assumption you need to remember all the case law names and years, if you are aiming for a pass. I passed without quoting any case laws in F4. If you are aiming to score then you should probably memorize them all.

I should mention that it's still early so don't resort to short cuts. Go through everything as you still have plenty of time.

Which are you more comfortable with? I wouldn't want to tell you to self-study and end up with bad results. But I did self-study after failing it once. But my case was different, because I did not understand my lecturer's methods so I failed quite badly and started studying from scratch, using different formulas and methods.

Hmm, I think P6 is easier to pass (judging from pass rates). Why don't you consider it again since you would be better prepared for the next time? If you start P4 from scratch now I think you would have to study really hard.

Anyone able to access exam entry page? I keep getting some kind of error.

That is what I get

Very disappointed with ACCA. They collect so much fees but their server couldn't handle heavy traffic. Been trying to pay my fees for more than an hour already.

Hey frodo, may I know more info about getting a Masters after ACCA? Is the Masters offered anywhere in Malaysia or only in the UK?

Worry not, my friend. For I have passed with nothing more than the "bluff notes".

But seriously. There's plenty of time to finish up your notes. Unless you have 3 other papers along with P3.

Hah no worries. I only had a copy of the bluff notes and the pyq booklet from Michael and yet I passed. Now you have so much more than what I had. So I believe you will ace P3 this sitting.

May I know why is he the best in Malaysia? That's a pretty bold claim unless you had studied under all the lecturers in Malaysia, right?

I'm fine thank you.

He does sound like a great lecturer. Most lecturers I know would prefer to be approached by the student and not the other way around, which is very reasonable.

However I feel that sometimes having an English accent may not work to the students advantage, especially since we are used to our local slang here. It may be difficult for some students to follow or understand the lecture with an accent. Though, almost all of the lecturers I have studied under has reasonably good command of English (not that having perfect grammars would matter in exams).

I studied under Ms. Geetha in Sunway and passed on my first attempt, albeit not being the brightest student. She was nice as well, since she came to talk to me rather politely and asked if I needed help when I did badly for my tests. I never had the chance to study under other lecturers for F9 (thank god), so I don't know for sure if Ms. Geetha is the best in Malaysia, but I certainly find her methods of delivering her lectures good.

I am sure that there are students in Spencer's or other lecturers' classes in Kasturi and Elite Jaya who did well for F9, perhaps even higher than 66, even though they aren't your friends. As well as there most likely are students who failed under Eliott Betts in FTMS, right?

Yep, it's highly subjective and dependent on the students themselves as well. Though I guess the revision you attended really helped you in your case, which is awesome.

Ms. Geetha is pretty famous for F9 in Sunway. The other lecturer is Ms Joyce if I am not wrong. Both are equally awesome lecturers, but have completely different approach conducting lecturers. Ms. Joyce speaks with an "English" accent which I find it hard to follow at times but still very systematic in class.

Anyway, good luck this coming sitting!
