Yeah. F4 is killing me. really hate memorizing stuffs. However, i already finish memorizing other parts except for the company law. but company law is just too huge. I think i'll just read through the past year questions for company law and try to focus on some topic emphasis by my lecturer. Did your F4 lecturer teach partnership?

I hope you know that company law constitutes the largest portion of marks in the F4 paper, close to 50 marks, possibly more. It seems very risky trying to attempt paper without studying almost half te syllabus.

tips - the reason why many ppl fail in acca

this caught my attention. so you're saying that the examiner has changed since last seating? that means even for this coming seating is this examiner who loves to test theories??

thats a good signal to me!! coz i hate calculations like hell

but seriously? so thats why last seating calculation all so damn little?? (and yet i dun pass )

I also got 63 for F9

no risk no gain

you read the questions of past few sittings, this Alex Watt tests us more on theories, unlike previous examiner Shane Johnson who gave us some easymarks. I chose p5 because i thought it was the easiest among the 4. In the end i felt that p7 is easier to pass

what he said is true, you can only pay extra attention on those tipped topics, you cant be spotting questions

so basically p2 is about memorising the IASes right? I planned to memorise the last week before exams. On the other hand i have p1 to worry about as well. =(

Mr. Akhbar? He's quite slack in class which is why I'm considering taking p5 outside..


Woo..last week before exam for p2?

i know la, that's the reason i asking for tips...

lol last week.. not only memorize dude, u must learn how to apply properly as well..

i have exams in 3 consecutive days, more worse

hi there, wana ask did anyone working for non-approved employer? Will it affect the ACCA 3 years experience?

Thanks in advance. =)

i see. It seems I have misunderstood something. The previous examiner offered more scope for easy marks.. and the examiner NOW is a real killer..

Gosh.. just dunno wat to expect this seating.. some questions from mock did come out last time, dunno about this one

well not really just memorize. you have to tailor your answer to the questions of course. however, regurgitation should offer some marks, or better additional ones.

Yea, i'll be doing the same thing as u for revision. Law just has too many things to memorise,gotta remember the case, some more got so many names...

And yea, my lecturer did teach partnership,why?Is it a focus for this sitting? I forgot but are we allowed to write our answers in point form?

Added on May 18, 2012, 4:08 pmLol get off your high horse la...i do not advocate just relying on tips alone but giving students the important chapters to focus on helps a lot. I find it strange how u say this but assert that somehow ''luck'' plays a huge part in whether u pass the paper.

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

Hahaha for f4..I remember I only know a few case law names like Solomon vs Solomon ..I did not cite the year or the sections, but still passed..Don't think it's that important if you didn't know everything..

Thanks senior. Currently enrolled for P5, should focus on exams now instead of having dilemma every night for this choice.

Added on May 18, 2012, 7:57 pmYup it's Mr Akbar. I don't know but I enjoyed his F5 classes. Don't know about P5. -___- Should go for every optional papers for the first two lessons and decide? (just kidding lol)

Your point makes sense. However I must say I have experienced an exact opposite scenario to yours. I had been expecting to fail a particular exam, instead I ended up doing very well purely based on tips. It was my SPM History paper and I just couldn't bring myself to study it, for obvious reasons. However I attended a seminar very close to the exams conducted by an actual marker who supplied us with really accurate tips. I managed to get an A. So I don't think you can generalize by saying tips should not be relied on. Instead IMO, tips can make a difference if use to complement your exam preparation.

guys need some suggestion, where is the best place to study p2 in KL? thanks =)

Lol..I think it's his first sem teaching p5 right? He taught me in T2 (or 3), T7 and F5..Feel he kinda too chilling in class..

Wow... So you should know better whether you should attend his P5 class or not. He only taught me F5 Sometimes when he joked but no one laugh, was really funny. But the fact that he made us wrote the full answers are not chilling Anyway I'm still ok with it because he always repeat some important points to the extent that we remember it.

Who taught you F6 then? I saw your previous enquiry about ms rozi and ms kok, but ms kok was not my lecturer before so I didn't comment.

Ps. I guess it'll be his first semester teaching P5 but I'm not too sure. Previously P5 was taught by the P4 lecturer Mr Michael according to this semester timetable. (wonder what's the reason behind this change )

Yea it was Michael before this..Maybe cause the examiner changed and more theoretical so changed lecturer to Mr Akhbar but who knows? I met him the other day and he just mentioned to me he's gonna teach P5 next sem haha.

For F6..I attended ms Kok's class 1st 2 lessons then I switched to Ms Rozi because I felt Ms Kok not serious with that group (previously that group is her T6 group so they keep joking joking). Ms Rozi on the other hand quite ganas

Just wondering if Ms Kok is different in P level..?
