Coolly, u dont look at text books? So smart la u....envy u loh....
I just bought the ORIGINAL study text and exam kit for all core papers, cost me around 300++....but i found all the books very thick and all in wordings.....Dont know how to finish all the books i just bought...Any comments?
Im also in dilemma now....to choose between ftms n kasturi for core papers.......sigh
Coolly, last time u took ur 3.5 n 3.7 at FTMS rite? Any further comments u can provide on martin n daniel....all my members said parmindar is better than martin for 3.5, but i hardly believe them la...coz i trust our ms acca adviser more than them...what they know.......haha

haha...many questions post to coolly...so i got to answer it lo hor..
erm,ya..when i study for my core..i really din look at the textbook,1st reason is my lecturers' notes are quite good and the 2nd reason is i quite lazy der wo..so no time to finish even the notes..don't say about the textbook already...
but last time i got buy the ftc revision kits for my core papers,but sad to say that i only manage to utilise the 3.6 one to the maximum,coz i not good in accounting..for 3.5 and 3.7,i jus followed my lecturer' note lo...
about the comment on 3.5 leh,i know parmindar is good,but i thought he specialises in IT more to management?

i just attended martin class last time,in my opinion,his note is brief,maybe at 1st glance u will feel not so sufficient for ur 3.5,but his class is quite interesting,i can tell u that attending his class won't make u fall asleep der lo...besides that,he got do question with u after each topic,so it is jus like he teach u theory and later guide u on practical by doing questions,see how u can apply wat u learnt to the questions...if u able to join the class questions doing and dare to say out ur points,i believe that by doing this way,it does provide u a consistant way of practice...so when u take the exam,ur brain can react faster...this is my opinion lo...
for 3.7 leh,daniel ho got his unique way of teaching u the calculation part,his way of doing calculations in 2-3 core areas of the papers are all well designed and fast...so for calculation wise in 3.7,i think u should not worry for don't know how to do as long as u can practice the questions more often urself and familiar urself with his way...
the only drawbacks on his class is i think which is the common weakness of most of the chinese lecturers,which is quite weak in theory..the weak in the sense that the lecturer might not able to explain a topic well using words to u during the lecturers..maybe they will mention few important things and tell u the concept then they will proceed to the calculation part...
however,the lecturer does provide u the theory note for u to read...daniel ho is a friendly lecturer,therefore as long as u got questions on anything,he is willing to help u and answer ur querry...so if u join his class,one thing u need to do jus enforce the theory part urself...even u join ksa,in my opinion,i also think u did the same...
haha...very long gas here...hope u get something from it la...
