Depend on how u expect from the lecturer?

I'm Andrew 2.4 and 3.3 student, I can give some comment abt him. Basically he is very good in calculation part, I can said after u attend his class, your calculation sure be very good. But when come to theory part, ayoh he is not so good lo. During the class, 80% he will cover calculation and 20% only for theory. And at the last day of class, he will give u one set of notes for all the theory and normally tell u which one important to read.

For Daniel Ho, hard to give comment, but according to my friend his teaching method was better than Andrew. Daniel cover both theory and calculation for all the papers.

The main reason for Daniel student less than Andrew was: Andrew is very famous in teaching Financial mgmt and mgmt accounting paper since many years ago as compare to Daniel.

This is CKF website where the tax information will be on chinese. At this website, you can ask him any question regarding Malaysian Tax. And it is Free of Charges.

You forgot oredi this is only the 1st sitting for new syllabus. Majotiry of the paper, the passing rate higher than previuos sitting cos examiner treat it as a testing. And due to the 1st sitting, examiner won't know the candidates standard, he/she oso won't expect high standard answer from student.

I'm sure June 08 passing rate won't be so high especially for Prof paper.

That's why majority of my friend when doing P2 feel so hard but finally can pass.

You can try Philip Woo in KSA. I'm sure he will be more better better than Jackson Chan.

Yesterday I ask Keith Farmer comment about passing rate in P2. He also said that he is not surprise for the higher passing rate for this paper cos normally when new syllabus coming, the earlier sitting is a good chance to pass.

So if any of yours still in P1 - P3, better pass it in June 08. Cos when more sitting go, the question will become more complicated, it is more hard to pass already.

I'm not saying all wo, I only said majority mah!

But the passing rate low, may be b'cos of the student take options paper under estimate the difficultly of the question lah! For eg, my friend go to take P6 last sitting. He feel not much problem in P6 and Chow Chee Yan oso told student P6 should be easier than old 3.2 due syllabus cut a lot of specific industry. But when that day enter to exam, he totally dun know wat to write. According to him the question become more practical than old 3.2, examiner treat u as a Tax Adviser in this paper.

Finally, he was very up set for take this paper in Dec 07, he told me if he know the option paper so difficult earlier, then he will choose to take P1 or P3 first.

And I don't think the option paper will become more difficult or more easy in this coming sitting cos by look at the passing rate for the papers, student already want to kill examiner (except P5).

Unless you are last minutes study, otherwise don't based on any tips or lecturer spotter area. The risk was very high.

You no need to purchase too many text book, even u purchase BPP oso, it won't help u a lot for the exam.

Always remember, ACCA exam is difference from Degree Exam. It not said you study the text book by hard, then the chance to pass exam will be higher.

If u want to buy extra, may be u buy Revision Kit to practice question.

But since u able to purchase soo many text book, why not you go to attend class? It is better than u keep on to buy text book.

I think for P1, u can go to Philip (KSA) class, his class will in Sunday. But other papers very hard lo, cos the class normal on week day. But normally the class only one day per week, may be u try to discuss with ur boss, go back early to for attend class lo on that day lo!

Not lah! For CG, Ethics and Risk Assessment, he will cover everything. Only Internal Control, he more concentrate on Turnbull Report cos wat ever we study in P1 for Internal Control was same as F8/2.6.

So to become knowledgeable and independent, ACCA student go for OBU oso lo!

He oredi finish mostly consol chapter, except consol cash flow. Now he more teaching on standard.

I'm in his P2 part time class currently. I'm not sure he will teach back the standards we learn in F7 or not.

But look at he teaching style now, I think he only can cover the standard we study in P2, cos he was very slow for teaching each chapter.

But according to somebody, he will give us the summary notes for all the standard during revision class. So I think we need to ask more senior person like Cooly for this matter.

I think it is hard for u to join P2 class 2nd term class now if u never study this paper b4. May be u join next sem lo!

They should change name to "Makan Orang International College"

You should consider lecturer to choose college, but not follow college to choose lecturer. For eg, P6 Advanced Taxation, you should consider Choong Kwai Fatt (SEGI) or Chow Chee Yan (MCO)!

Always follow the lecturer is a best decision.

For study ACCA, always consider good lecturer first, then only choose college.

The difference is you got one more extra degree lo! It can help little for your application of job if u not grad ACCA yet.

But once u grad ACCA already, OBU value no more high.

So if you want to do, then just go a head. But please don't like Sunway student spend RM4,500 to do this OBU.

Actually we are ACCA student, but not college student. College only provide us tuition and submission of exam registration services. After we grad ACCA, the college name won't be stated in the ACCA cert.

ACCA is difference from degree cos it is a external exam. There is no such thing said if you are from Sunway, then your chance to get job is higher. Even you go to BIG 4, the boss also will look at your result + experience, but not just look at your college.

For OBU, difference college difference cost lah. College like MCO will charge RM3K+. KSA is cheaper, around RM1K+ or -, but don't whether their mentor good or not. I know one mentor, she is very good in OBU, her fee expensive also but should be cheaper than Sunway. If u need it, then just PM me!

Lastly when to do, is depend on yourself also. If u feel that can handle it same time with your study, then go ahead. But if u feel very hard to do, then after grad only do lo! But for me, if I grad oredi, I oso won't do anymore!

Actually is depend on you lah! For me, if stay like co nothing to do, it is very waste time. But you must remember, if you now change your job, may be you will be more busy than now, can you handle your ACCA study if change to more challenging job? So may be you still stay here until June exam first and after exam baru consider change job lah!

Lastly, you choose to self study P2, it is riskly oso cos P2 is a big difficult paper if compare to P1 & P3. My advise is may be you go to attend P2 revision class b4 go for exam for this paper lah!

Actually I dun prefer self study for any professional level paper. Even you already study all this thing during degree, but u must remember what is ACCA need should be different from your degree. It is strongly recommend you go to attend class cos the lecturer will teach the exam technique to assist you to answer question.

After u grad from ACCA, it is not neccesary you must be do as a Accountant. You can do a lot of thing, for eg Financial Analyst, Tax, Finance and etc. So if you feel boring, then dun look for Accountant title la!
