gud luck wit ur 3 papers next week!

---

Added on December 8, 2007, 2:43 amcoursemate, need some help wit CMMI.. anyone pls?? im quite confused wit it.. cant really understand by reading the Kaplan's text!


LOL.. saw that whole thing bout ACCA..
and Tarc is forever the same stingy type.. alwaz make small advertisement, this time.. less den 1/4 of the page and its in black and white..
compare wit Sunway, whole page with colour..

gosh, its like their honour for getting the platinum status, oni 2 in msia, tiny bit of the 10% worldwide ACCA approved tuition provider =p

This post has been edited by babysept: Dec 8 2007, 02:43 AM

same same la~lets gambateh together la~~
for the F9 i saw ppl say is quite ok, how come u say u r doing very badly?

for the CMMI(5 lvl process), it is a model that use to design a software..
but now a days, it used to identify which lvl of a organization's process are..
for the detail at every lvl, i think u better look at the pilot paper Q3(if not mistaken) answer, its answer quite well, by read the answer is much more easy to understand than lookin at the text book..

was kinda sick on that day itself.. den college hall, blardy cold..

cant really answer some Q also.. nub =p

btw, jus a reminder for u coursemate, bring jacket, wear long sleeve shirts and long pants!

also, last but not least, bring only black pen, no blue pen is allowed!

jiaaa you!

and thanks for the advice on CMMI, will hav a look later!

on the contrary, CMMI is not a software design methodology. CMMI is a company assessment method to assess whether a company has what it takes to produce good software consistently.

Exam centers, at least Srisedaya and sunway are pretty cold, so some sweaters are advised.

---

hahaha, sunway pretty much screams about their 'successes' XD i guess the 'peer pressure' in sunway is much higher compared to outside.

bunch of nerds studying acca everyday, don't feel stress oso hard.

--

P1 on monday.. crap.
Anyone covered kaplan text alraedy?

Lol text? I just read Mr Goh's notes. (ur with Mr Goh too rite?)

f7 i only studied and done Q1 and Q3
so worried will fail
seems like no mood to study......
these few days no mood ....
remainder of the syllabus seems alot

hahaha like there's any other lecturer in sunway doing p1.. ><
haha, his notes ar.. very pening kepala la, so many words.. i see oso no mood... dunno which is point which is not. frankly i feel like p1 very little stuff to write about ler, all the points seems so.. pointless and obvious.

darn stupiiiiid.

hahaha, as for F7.. it's not raelly as bulky as it seems... just menon's notes very alot XD but frankly core principles actually very little only... ><

me too, no mood to study F7.....
esp...after did badly in F8

F7 - need to know and memorize all the workings.....
if forgot to do 1 step, the answer's wrong..........
- also need to memorize the definition and etc....

Eh,his P1 notes is unbelievably thin for a core paper subject la New subject,no big fat notes compilation yet
But I get what you mean,sometimes u really wonder what to write for this subject

Shadap u,F7 is relatively bulky,and P2 is retardedly bulky

Can use BLUE Pen to answer?? Coz arr~~ i personally dun like use black pen answer coz...the paper sheet alreadt black ..... so theform i fill in with black n answer with blue?? Can? will they mark my answer??

N for conso, joe fang ask us use black for the figure given n blue for the answer we do oo....

n wna ask arr~~ can use short form for exam F7? like b/f, urp (unrealised profit) use nca for non current asset?? Can ?

N any tips for F7 to share or emphasis on f7?? Not so good....mark for correct figure right? n oni mark working if figure wrong....but seem like we need can balance it in exam oo... how??

---

Added on December 8, 2007, 3:20 pmI mean its like we never can balance the b/s in the exam.... some note dunno how to do n then sometime calculator press wrong.... now my f7 revision is like doing auditing...do question while looking at the answer... hehe

ermm.. im not so sure bout that, but i think our exam entry slip, has stated th rules and regulations behind our details..

but i think, using black pen is gud...

bcuz even exams in coll, lecturers requested us to use black pen..

cuz it would be easier for them to see and mark..

---

Added on December 8, 2007, 5:00 pmgot no kaplan text for P1, only P3..

but lecturer did photostat chapter 12-14 for us, for the professional ethics and i find it quite usefull..


This post has been edited by babysept: Dec 8 2007, 05:00 PM

Black pen refers to the filling of student details I believe.(on ur booklet,attendance slip)

I've always used blue pen for my answer script

@Zoeee : don't wry about balancing the b/s. If pass/failures were determined by that,most of the students would be failing especially at higher lvls
No seriously,just post as much answers u can from ur workings. As Menon (frm sunway) would always say,pick up as much marks as possible,especially the easier ones.Don't bother too much bout the harder marks
