Might vary by the paper you're taking, but overall BPP.

Wow. . . Next round of classes and exams are already here. Headaches begin all over again



Anybody here taking F7 @ KSA or F8 @ Elitejaya ?

It'll be quite tough. You need some form of guidance at least on how to start and what to focus on. Some rules are really complicated and can be quite easily misunderstood. But not totally impossible. I'd suggest for you to attend at least first term classes. It won't come up to much.

I don't mean to sound rude, but are you really sure you can't muster RM300 ? A loan ? Anyways, I don't think switching papers will make a difference. The only paper you probably could self study without much difficulty is F4. Just my two cents worth.

Yeah I concur. Muppet, pl exercise caution in regards to putting ppl on the NOT recommended list. It should only serve as a warning to poor lecturers, not demotivate good lecturers.

I am in complete agreement with DawredTan in that only lecturers with poor attitude and those who self promote should be included. Based on teaching method, I suggest only when there are an overwhelming number of complaints.

Excellent suggestion Muppet. I think some of the names are currently out of date and needs to be reset/updated.

I know how you feel. I too sat for 3 papers last term and will doing the same this term. The only way to ensure you don't fall behind is to be on top of your game from day one. I always used lectures as a timeline to covering the syllabus. Ensure you're up to date with what your lecturer covers in class. Study in bite sizes, it's a lot easier and you brain absorbs and retains more. Wish you all the best.

Doesn't your question self explain ?

Where ?

One note of advice, F5 is a theory paper with minute amounts of calculation. Your preparation should reflect this. Many students including myself, assume otherwise resulting in a costly mistake. This is further exacerbated by the fact that most F5 lecturers are too calculation oriented. So beware.

Hey junggle. . . Long time no see

Pl correct me if I'm wrong but I believe F7/P2 require a thorough understanding of ledger entries. I also believe that Mr Joe Fang's method's circumvents this core accounting concept. If that's is the case, I think it's extremely unsafe to rely on such methods mainly for 2 reasons. One, while the methods work for the current exam format, can it be relied upon if the format were to be suddenly changed(like F5 last term) and two, although it might be useful in passing exams, how about real world application when we start working.

Note: This are just my thoughts and by no means a criticism of Mr Joe Fang or his methods. I might be wrong. Pl enlighten me if I am.

My apologies but I do not want to recommend/side with any lecturer so as to not appear to be biased. My intentions in posting about this issue was just share my thoughts, nothing more. What I can say I this, if all you want to do is pass your exam, then it doesn't really matter which lecturer you go to as every lecturer has his or her own unique method that enables student's to pass. But if you realize the importance of understanding what you're studying and being able I apply the knowledge in work and business in the future, I strongly urge students to look for a lecturer who focusses on fundamentals and not shortcuts.

It is not my intention to debate or prove anyone wrong. It just seemed a little odd that after just a few classes, you're able to confirm JF's methods to be clear. Anyways, you probably have a point. Lets put this issue to bed. Btw, don't you think for someone not very fluent in English, T acct methods theoretically should be easier, since it's just math ?


I think that's problem with a lot of ppl. Everyone is content with just passing. Don't get me wrong, but I feel that's risky and possibly could be the reason as to why many fail.

Just back from bora-bora.....Congrats ! ! to eveyone who passed.

Classes>>>>>Sheila John @ Elitejaya. Her students did really well this sitting.





I took both F5 & F6 with Mr Low last term. Passed both. He's a calculation focused tutor. For F6 he's excellent,
for F5, you might have to cover some theory by yourself.

Also, he's an exemplary lecturer. Fantastic work ethic. Very punctual and organized. Good atmosphere to his class too.

Strategic ?

Awesome !

Good job Muppet. You really are an example of perseverance.

Probably wrong study technique dude...I suggest you reduce no of papers per term and concentrate your efforts.

P2 class how come no mention Menon @ Sunway. Anyways a couple of my friends who studied under Yap Kok Wah @ KB say he is not recommended lecturer. Reasons are as follows:

1. Many class schedule alterations- he's from outstation.
2. Illegible handwriting- Impossible to decipher his notes on board
3. Does not cover any previous work which might be important to understanding current topics. Expects you to know.

Do you really think we're morons ? For Pete's sake if you're gonna create a dupe account and self promote, at least use a little more intelligence in doing it. Were all future ACCA's here, not std 6 kids.
