hmm.. if like that.. do u think Adv Tax is better coz it's more focus on theory.. where as Adv Financial Mngt is mosly on calculation.. im thinking wanna take which paper.. very

Tax u need lots of reading and application of coz in addition, practice..practice questions which same with all acca papers, just that tax u need to spend most of the time reading on the legislation and also the tax case law,the rational behind each of the case i.e similar to paper F4/2.2
if im not mistaken,few years back there is a question on 3.2 regarding the decision behind the case i.e Ketua pengarah Vs xxxx, so u need to justify why does the decision are taken also know the proper format way of calculating, so memorising the computation of each tax is essential,coz u have to follow the rule of calculating it,cannot use alternative or ur own way, which differs from P4 where calculation can be used in any way (except if they are to use i.e. Black Scholes model,CAPM) which u must derived to the correct answer. of coz both subject is cumbersome to learn, but depends on ur style, if u like bind by/follow rules...tax would be ideal or P4 if u are freestyle yet financial issues and deep understanding or each financing approach u should concern on, at the end of the day, regardless which paper u take in optional, the main point is that finish ACCA, the specialised thing can be worried later,which u will be taught or trained during work or experience based..

OO, i will pick P4 and P6 for my optional...even tho, i dont like tax..

hmm is it?
i cannot attend p1 or p3 i no time

so i attend p2 class and self study for p1 or p3 lo

guys, any advice for adv. aud P7?

taking optional papers, and i chose P4 and P5..

is it gud or bad??

Is siva nair good? has anyone experienced his teaching? i can get the timetable from the website rite.. wah that means every paper diff college "

i would suggest u take CAT if u wan to do ACCA instead of LCCI...

I think P6 more useful as it does not only help u in exam but also real life...
there is no easier pass paper der..once upon a time,P4 under the old syllabus always has the lowest passing rate..i think this wont be any big diff even now it is put under option..
my advice is,don think which is easier to pass,think which option u interested..there is no easier paper to pass in my opinion..


u can try siva nair lo...he is quite ok.i attend his 2.3 last time..somemore last time he is the marker for this paper,not sure now he is still the marker or not...


aiya,they always chasing for fee der la...anyway i think is easier jus to submit annual return online,jus few steps will do..

actually i think adv fin mgt also not much calc,even tax also got calc,when u come to part 3 level,the key concept is learn and apply,so no matter which option,the principle is still the same..jus maybe adv fin mgt got core area to focus,as compare to tax,tax is all every way in the syllabus,maybe that make a bit difficult to prepare..but no doubt,useful paper...

if u don like,don force urself to do,becoz if like that u also cannot appreciate the knowledge and apply accordingly to ur question..


then u self study P1 and attend irc lo..


to let acca know what have u done for the past one yr...jus a record...

u can try philip in kasturi...

he is quite ok la...jus talking a bit fast..hehe

try kolej bandar- low chin ann. very good F8 lecturer who emphasises on understanding. or KSA- philip woo also not bad

anyone attended Joe Fang's P2 class ? is his teaching style same as F7?
does he put more emphasis on standards and theory ?

Besides , does P1 similar to audit paper? is it studying with audit lecturer will be better ?

any advice for good lecturer F7?

how about good lecturers for f5 and f9?

P1 lecturer, which one to recommend? besides Philip... what about Viknes, Parmindar at KSA... or Sheila at McOrange... & SEGi or PAAC or FTMS or elsewhere?

Andrew Pang of KSA... pretty good, teaches both F5 & F9... seems to be understandable with the teaching style
perhaps otherwise Chow Kim Tai of FTMS, if not mistaken he's still there...

i used to attend his class for 2.3 also... as coolly said...he talk very fast but not to worry about that coz always got student remind him to talk slowly or repeat... other than that, i heard one of my fren said that he'll asked Q in the class to test ur knowledge... wat u know n wat u don't understand

yes..he is still in the panel marker for p6 n wat i heard from my fren is he is very close to richard thornton BUT whether those things will help u to pass or not.. i don't know.

what is irc?
send them wat?
i completed my STR actually
do i need to send to them the original???

i never attend andrew's class for F5 & F9, but i attended his P5 class..used to be 3.3, which is a paper which consist of half calculation n theory.. andrew's calculation not that bad.. but not theory coz when come to theory part, he'll asked u to go back n read urself.... so i'll recommend u to take chow kim tai's class.. unfortunately i just saw his name for P5 but i dun see his name in mcorange list for F5 or F9... actually other than them, there is Daniel Ho who is teaching F9 in ftms for this sitting... last time i used to attend his class for 2.4... his calculation is very easy to do especially for NPV.. the conclusion is his exam technique is two thumbs up but for F9 only.. for F5..i've no idea

KSA - either Keith Farmer or Joe Fang

cheap and good...........

Mcorange - Sheila GOOD but expensive.....but her notes OK and a lot of practice questions
ksa - philip GOOD but 1 month 2 times only
ksa - viknes and dr.parmindar - no audit background........
ftms new lecturer
segi - suppose to be F4 lecturer
