Hi there, the virtue of an accountant is integrity!

Piecemeal acquisiton tested 3 sittings in a row liao, my lecturer said highly unlikely but there again it depends on Mr. Grahman Holt whether wants to surprise/shock/kill us in the exam or not... : (

Thank you for sharing your experience with us. You have done very well, only utilising about a month to prepare for exams, even though it is only 1 paper.

I think individual studying pattern makes a difference, some can clamp in a lot of info in a short period of time (e.g. yourself) while some need more time to absorb & digest (e.g. myself).

I am really happy for you that you have completed your ACCA journey. Enjoy your convocation!

I will be taking my P2 this June, last paper. Hope to clear it. : )

Thank you for your valuable tips! Honestly, I don't like to do the same questions more than once although last year my P3 lecturer told us to do that, I went agst his advice.... actually... I tried but i gave up simply because i find it quite a chore having to do the same question again when there are so many more questions not attempted.

However, I will heed your advice and try to do it for my P2 since it is going to be my last paper, I will force myself to do it.

Thank you once again! really want to get it done and over with.

same here! ha ha...except for...my photo isn't cute leh..

wow! envy!

I am planning to bang on standards too. By the way, i only have kaplan revision kit. Do u think it is good enough?

Aiyoh! I don't know this so called black magic will work or not! But for sure his books have all turned as black as charcoal!

Spend time doing something constructive lah - practise PYQs - the only way to pass ACCA.

Hi guys! Cool ok? I guess everyone is under great stress as the exam is getting closer.

I believe tzxsean did not mean it negatively.

He contributes to this forum regularly and he has given many valuable advices in the past. Please don't judge him by just this latest post. He might be facing great stress too!

Do stay positive and spend time practising PYQ and exam kits. And let's encourage each other and not arguing...

Let's spend our next few days constructively and do a few questions a day and keep the failing away!

Keep our spirit up! : )

Good luck everyone!

My paper is on next Tuesday. Having butterflies in my stomach liao.

: (

I seriously think that this IFRS37 should not even have appeared Q4 of P2!

http://www.ifrs.org/current+projects/iasb+...liabilities.htm

This IFRS37 amendment project has been suspended for a year.

My lecturer did not even utter a word on this standard for current issues. : (

Left with no options since cannot do Q4.

It is a simple structure, one acquistion is piecemeal from FVTPL into 60% subsi whilst another one is 80% owned subsi from day 1.

Consol qn for this sitting is pretty straight forward but I still could not balance my Consol SFP but it is ok as i am so used to unbalanced SFP ( I know i am lame ). LOL

Q4 is a shocker whilst Q2 and Q3 are issues on different standards, nicely broken into 3 or 4 parts.

Hi guys!

I've been trying to update my PER on myACCA but could not do it. The layout of the webpage for PER also looks so different from what it used to be a few months ago.

Is it just me or any of you have problems accessing that PER page?

Look forward to your reply..thanks!

Oh, my god! Joe Fang? His consolidation workings are all over the place! I joined his classes last term but i did not use his consolidation method. I was so afraid to destroy my chance of passing! If I was the marker, such messy workings (arrows here and there) will really piss me off.

Just my personal opinion, those who intend to join his class, better go around and ask his former students first!

Yes, I agree with you. End of the day, we go for a pass in the paper. I understood his method and I tried to accept it too by practising those questions he extracted from PYP (which have been simplified to illustrate his unique consol method) for us to try at home.

But when reaches the stage of praticising of PYP questions, I faced problems because there are too many adjustments to accomodate the workings (which is on the face of SOFP or SOCI or CSF) on a single page.

Maybe it is just me, I was going for workings marks because I don't think I will ever get the SOFP balanced under exam condition, I wanted my workngs on my script to look clear enough for the marker. You know, to pass an exam, it is more than knowledge you have in the subject, you need to demonstrate exam techniques. And I strongly believe that for F7 or P2, workings are very very important.

I have nothing against Joe, In fact I appreciate his patience and kindness, he always stayed behind after classes to guide students. But I really dared not put my faith in his unique consol method. : (

Eventually, I used the schedule method taught in Kaplan textbook.

Still waiting for my results, I hope my strategy of gaining marks from workings worked.

I am curious, what mind maps? I went thru his P2 class last term. He did not give us any mind maps. We were given 2 class notes. Book 1 consists of summary of FRS standards (in brief) , questions and answers. Book2 consists of consolidation, illustration of different kind of senarios, eg simple structure, complex structure, acqusition, disposal etc.

There is no mind maps leh.

I have soft copies of notes he wrote during classes. I don't mind sharing, PM me if u want.

2 more days!

2 more hours!! fingers crossed

Good luck folks!

Hi there, tzxsean! You passed? I believe u did! : )

I managed to pass my P2, affiliate now, phew!

Suggestion to all: do NOT make your decision on which lecturer to go for based on "advice" from New Member. The advice maybe not genuine as we know there have been lecturers who came in to promote themselves, not openly, but in disguise. Just my 2 cents worth of opinion.
