Well, it would definitely increase the pass rates and all of our efforts or passing the papers by working so hard would go in vain
But 4 attempts in 1 year looks quite attractive!

started from when ??

CBE does not mean multiple choice question
It's writing using keyboards instead on paper.

Yes.
Right now ACCA scans you exam answer sheets into the computer, send it to markers all over the world.
It's much more easier than mailing those exam papers to your house.

So the next stage now is, rather than writing it on paper and scan it into the computer, why not just do everything on the computer? No handwriting problems, no blurry scans.

I assume that you need to train for typing skills and also learn how to draw tables to do your workings for this CBE questions.

CPA exam is MCQ or ACCA ? thanks.

Hmm in dilemma between choosing Andrew Pang or Daniel Ho for P4 :S

Anyone had experience with them ? Need suggestion badly now .

Thanks in advance !!!

My friends in UK says that it is known as FIA in the BPP college. As well as in other countries as well.
Wonder why Malaysia is not changing the name to FIA 

One question... In the exam I started every question on a new age but didn't start every part on one, was too stressed and it skipped my mind.. Like part a b c etc would they penalize for that??

But HELP, Kasturi and so many other colleges still call it CAT!!
It should officially be announced by the Ministry of Education to change it since it really confuses many students!

Ok great. Thank you! Helps my peace of mind. Mine wasn't out of a concern for paper but rather It just slipped my mind to leave some space.

haha well to be honest, If someone has studied properly. nothing is difficult!
I took F5, F6 and F8 this sitting, and guess what, I am pretty sure I am gonna nail F6 and F8. And my F5 is still in doubt
I just hope I pass the papers in this sitting!

Well you need to meet my teachers then. I was in schools and was known to be the best student there. Used to get A in every exam and guess what happened in my Matriculation, I got on 4 A and other 3 B. When I told that to my teachers, they were hell shocked. It is the same with ACCA. I was expecting some 80s in my F3 and I ended up with just 66.
It is really about luck I would say. My last exam was on 5th December and I doing P2 and P3 from 6th and then also you hear me failing any paper, what would you feel?   

P1 Sheila from Elit.
P3 Michael Mainwaring's Taught Course + IRC is sufficient.

i studied my p1 under sheila. she was able to covered about 25 pyq (if i remember correctly. i guess more than that). cases were discussed in detail. i think that's really important. anyone doing acca would recognise the importance of getting familiar with the pyq. but i believe she has covered more than the syllabus. the only drawback as long as i'm considered. so her notes is thick but after all well organised. she's helpful and very kind.

as for p3, i did mine with parminder. honestly not to my liking. but it really depends. lots of them said he's good and that's also why i picked him. he never discuss pyq. his notes is unorganised. messy. and also, okay, this is my feeling. for me he tends to beat around the bush with everything. i don't know. but some people really enjoy i guess. sometimes it's really frustrating because i got to rush to his class after work knowing there're works piled high on my desk and that day he'd discuss just 3-5 pages maybe.

i then attended michael's irc for p3 because i wasn't confident in passing the paper. his teaching is good. his note is good. i've learnt a lot, really a lot, in just 3 days, amazing. i didn't know he got something called taught course. otherwise i'd go. i'm very sure his 4 days taught course (4 days i guess) can cover whole syllabus. because he could cover all important topics in the 3 days irc i attended besides discussing cases and exam techniques. so i'm sure he can do a lot more with the another 4 days.

but i need to know about p2. any info on p2? comments on lecturers? thanks!

P2 and P3 next sem... Should I take p3 after result?? what do u think? I scare i can't catch up only

Wait a second, you mean can we self-study for P3? But I heard it is the most difficult paper among P1, P2 and P3 

Any of your classmates under Menon for P2 had been doing BPP practice questions? Is that necessary?

I see i see.

Because i have just done the f7, f8 & f9 final in the recent sitting. For f7, i wouldnt have time for BPP questions, while for f8 & f9, i managed to do them.

Btw, what about P1 & P3? I will b under Mr Goh & Mr Dineesh.

yes menon but sunway is too far. but i'm still thinking. i've narrowed my choices down to 2, either joe fang or menon. struggling. i'm curious to know the fastest conso method by joe fang. hahaha. nick, thank you very much for telling me about menon. i like lecturers who crazily cover pyq. lol.

hello people please actively share lecturers' teaching style. i'm sure it's in high demand now. lol.

Have you seen Martin Jones conso method? That one looks kinda straight forward. I don't know how Ms Menon teaches however, I am studying under Martin and practicing the basic conso questions of P2 which roughly takes me 20 mins to finish the question by using his method 

Hey guys, so I just finished my accounting degree at INTI Nilai (collab with Uni. of Hertfordshire) and am seriously thinking about taking ACCA at either INTI subang or Sunway.

I've seen a lot of other places offering ACCA as well, like Kasturi and such and was wondering what these places are all about? Are these like tuition centres and do I need to take lessons from a few different places for different papers?

Hope someone will be able to answer my questions. Any suggestions and answers to clear my doubts would be extremely helpful. Thanks.

I am not informed about them but I keep myself up-to-date and have enough knowledge to debate with different people. I have always been saying stuff about Francis Braganzia, Rob Sowerby, Martin Jones etc. who would never be coming to M'sia and they are really some awesome lecturers.

I didn't say that local lecturers are nothing rather my point was that how can you compare the local non-native English speakers with the Natives and then saying that locals are better!!!!! I know many of the M'sians prefer the local lecturers because of their accent which is easier to understand. As regards to scoring better and having a better pass rate, this is nothing to praise them since passing is all the effort of the student. The lecturer can just make the topic easier to understand.

Firstly, I don't agree with you that UK lecturers have lower pass rates as compared to the local ones. But just assume it is, then the reason behind it is that many people here find it difficult to understand the UK accent. I have done some research and I have got to know that students,in schools, are taught the American Accent and that vary quite a lot and many students aren't even good in English and are used to BROKEN English.

Well if Spencer was that great, then he shouldn't have been ignoring questions asked by my friend so I highly doubt his qualities. Rather I would love to give the example of Joey Wong here,under whom I studied F8. He marked more than 50 answers I did and submitted to him every week. He never said that he is busy or anything. He answered all the questions I asked in class and some of them were kinda silly as well. He NEVER ignored!!! Then why did Spencer? 

Okay do me a favor, take one of your local lecturer, lets take Spencer since everyone is in LOVE with him and do a  simple comparison of his performance in F9 with Elliot Betts and conclude who is better!

Thanks for the advice! but if I fail F7 I am worried that I won't be able to catch up with P2     

I didn't say I hate Spencer and why would I?

Well, I think you didn't understand what I said. I didn't say anything to him as regards to English. He might be good but my friends tell me that he used to ignore students' queries which is kinda bad and insulting in the class.

Talking about the mind maps, go to mapitaccountancy.com, see you would get the free mind maps from there from some English lecturer and when reading Spencer's F7 notes, these mind maps were somewhat the same as those ones lol

Now please don't say that mapitaccountancy lecturer copied Spencer's mind maps!!!!

a friend of mine took his p2 in sunway and it was about RM4.5K my gosh!
was thinking to go there for p2 as well but then when i know the fee i was like huh?
just yesterday night i decided to try spencer. seriously hoping he's ok for p2.
i hope. i hope. i hope.
