Erm, it is advisable not to use liquid paper because the answer is scanned to a computer and it may be blur. Anyway don't worry too much. I also used it before and still passed.
All my papers up till now I only use 1 booklet. In fact less than 1 booklet. I normally reach until 1 or 2 pages after the middle page.

Quality > Quantity

But maybe if you're aiming for world prize you need to write more.

Don't worry too much! It's time to relax now

And yeah, can get a pass even though I don't write as much as others. But my pass is like 50-60 marks only. Not really high marks 

6 days to go for result day!!!! 

I signed up for the new lecturer (Billy Ng) from FTMS College.

My friends studied with him in Sing and said his lecturing style suited them.

Some of my friends attended both lectures of Joe and Spencer and said that both are equally fine.

Don't mean to criticize but i do think Parmindar's notes are excessive and some are out of the syllabus. He's always telling us to write extra to impress the examiner but I doubt that works. What's outside the syllabus will not score you any marks.

I've been to both his part time and full time classes. They're the same. The only difference is full time students have longer breaks while the part time students get to hear him repeat more of his teaching.

I've never been to Sheila's P1 class before but I do think she is a great lecturer who sincerely cares about her students. (I missed 90% of her class but she constantly emailed me to update on the class progress)

since you have a marginal fail, i assume you have fair knowledge foe the paper but approach the exam questions ineffectively.  It'd be useful for you to join Sheila's IRC cause she really focuses on the exam techniques to get her students to pass.

Hi ,

I have been to Spencer's P2 classes before and passed 65% first attempt. SOME of his notes are in mind maps. He discusses important topics but does not cover ALL in the class. So, i studied the whole BPP text book on my own. He discusses some questions in the class but i did the Revision Kit on my own thoroughly.

End of the day his mindmaps did help me to remember as questions came out in these areas in my exam diet. But my own studies helped me too as some of the current issues that he did not cover, i had studied already and helped me to pass the vital Q4 in my exam diet.

In my exam diet, his tips were not accurate but if you had studied ALL and had enough practised of questions under exam time, one can pass this paper.

i did, i only went for the 4 day talk course without having any P3 knowledge before. He made the subject fun and easy to study. Gave us many real life examples that help us understand the business models better. I'd go as far as to say he made P3 the easiest paper for me to study among all the 14. I clocked in a few weeks of effort and got over 60.

Bluff note is meant to bluff~~not for real~~wanna pass?? finish the whole syllabus in a proper way...after being Parmindar's student, i do think that even his notes is NOT comprehensive enough~~make sure u go try some past years Qs and u will know what i meant by NOT comprehensive enough~~

Do practice writing more~~no easy and short cut way to pass ACCA papers unless u are a super genius~

Wonder why nowadays so many student looking for short cuts and quick ways~~

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.

Hi there,

Let me share with you my experience. I studied P3 under Parminder and P7 under Sheila and i passed both with not so great marks. But glad that i passed atleast!

Parminder notes were quite a lot but i found that i could understand them better than reading BPP or reading the bluff notes of Michael. I failed P3 when i self studied using BPP and went to IRC under Michael and inspite of using his bluff notes, i could not understand enough and therefore failed at 44!

So, i attended Parminder's classes and studied his notes and saw the way he had answered the past year questions and tried and practised his style of writing the answer rather that following the style shown in the BPP revision kit! I passed at 57 marks!

What i went through was, Parminder finished teaching 7 chapters in the course of 4 months and he finished the remaining 7 chapters by teaching us in the course of 2 days from 9.00am till 10.00pm in the last week of October.Mind you it was a challenge for me to understand these last 7 chapters as he taught us so fast in 2 days!!

So, i drew up my timetable to study and revise and do PYQ for Nov -

Monday - 7.00am to 8.30am do PYQ of P3
            - 8.45am to 10.00am do PYQ of P7
              10.30am to 1.30pm study, understand and memorise a chapter in P3
              2.00pm to 5.00pm continue if not finished with chapter
              7.00pm to 9.00pm do PYQ of P3
              9.30pm to 11.30pm do PYQ of P7
              12.00am sleep

Tuesday - 7.00am to 8.30am do PYQ of P3
            - 8.45am to 10.00am do PYQ of P7
              10.30am to 1.30pm study, understand and memorise a chapter in P7
              2.00pm to 5.00pm continue if not finished with chapter
              7.00pm to 9.00pm do PYQ of P3
              9.30pm to 11.30pm do PYQ of P7
              12.00am sleep

And i continued like this until i made sure that i have done all the PYQs and revised all the notes of P3 and P7 ----mind you that

- i had to attend 3 days of Parminder's revision class in Nov as well as studied his revision notes

- i had to revise all of Ms.Sheila's notes that came in so many,many books as well as attend her revision classes for 1 week in Nov and sit for her Mock exams twice in the month of Nov!!!i Failed in one of her mock exams closer to one week before exam....can u imagine how i must have felt!!!

Well....i went ahead with determination and passed P7 with 52 marks!! Not great but glad!

I studied fulltime but i believe if you are just doing it Part time ---- then you must be determined to do a Timetable and put in all the chapters u must revise (learning the models and understanding is very important for P3) and do all the PYQs.

For me, the difference between using the BPP revision kit and Parminder's answers for his PYQs ----> BPP's answers were too complex for me to understand whereas i could understand the style of Parminder's answers.

Dec 2012 P3 paper was very tough for me....in fact i did not finish doing the exam questions but because i understood his notes and his way of answering the questions -----> i followed his style and applied when answering the questions....it was extremely beneficial for me to memorise and remember Parminder's mnemonics as i used them in order to answer questions....when it was relevent to use them.

Michael's bluff notes - if you have understood models and theories well , then his notes would be a summarised version or shall i say----> it will be for those who have a very good understanding of everything in P3 already before using Michael's notes!!!


Goodluck!

Parminder notes were quite a lot but i found that i could understand them better than reading BPP or reading the bluff notes of Michael. I failed P3 when i self studied using BPP and went to IRC under Michael and inspite of using his bluff notes, i could not understand enough and therefore failed at 44!
