why not P7? it is not really that difficult to study but also not easy to pass la. better future prospect if you take P6 + P7.  Big 4 will encourage employees to take P6 + P7

for me, the best combination is P4 + P7. P4 will help you understand the financial market better, you can do your own investment as well. taking P7 will add more value on your CV, easier for you to gain membership to MIA as well

i got 63 for F9 but i dare not take P4 because of previous comments here, some seniors said P4 is very difficult.  I got 2 friends retake in December 2011 (they passed), i know it is not easy therefore i chose P5.  I thought P5 is easy but never thought after change of examiner, it has become more theoretical, a lot of analysis/application, less calculation. i managed to pass at first attempt too.

the P6 you study has covered most of the Income Tax Act 1967 but certain practical matters still not covered inside and case laws are not included.  Chartered Tax Institute of Malaysia (CTIM) tax papers have 2 parts, 1 of it is specifically test on tax law cases, that really makes you specialise in tax.  one more disadvantage of taking P6 is it is not applicable when you work overseas since different country has different tax laws.  this is also a reason why i did not take P6.  overall if you like tax, you can take P6

out of the 4, my first choice will definitely be P7

P7 is studying abt the standards? Not like procedure to audit ?

useful or not depends on ur field

having studied add math and math's formulas in secondary

is it useful in ur daily life?

refer to my post on last page

1st...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?

it can only be answered by ur heart 
then y dun u take p5 n p4?

it does matter to some employers..not all

then work ur average tax to better since is ur interest

as for audit...if u wan join and leave after 3 years..no need that p7

You got a living example here who does not memorise isa standards but can pass p7
p7 trains you to be an audit manager/partner, what you studied at f8 are just basic audit procedures. P7 has a lot of new stuff to study
p4 should earn better if you get into investment banking line just like wall street. P5 will get you to be a management accountant while p2 will get you to be a financial accountant, my lecturer said a management accountant can earn better than a financial accountant because your boss does not value how strong is your IFRS standards

Mr. Akhbar? He's quite slack in class which is why I'm considering taking p5 outside..
Woo..last week before exam for p2? 

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..

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..? 

Didn't thought of it at that time 

Ganas only good mah. Fail PT also have to write report on why we fail. hahha! Got 1 time don't know which student gave Ms Rozi black face then she keep scolding saying we all give her "hostile look". She was damn pissed but quite funny also that time because don't know which student did that. 

Did you ask why she regret going under Ms. Kok?

What?  She missed?? How about Q1, 2 and 3??
