HI need some advice , i just finished my diploma and im starting ACCA classes tomorrow.Im studying FULL time. Im exempted the first 4 papers so i start with F5. Anyways im planning to take 4 papers(F5-F8) for this coming June exam. Im taking it in SEGI coll , im not sure if tehy have good lecturers for ACCA there.
Ok so my question is
1) Is it wise to take up to 4 papers per seating? (studying FULL time)
2) Is lecturer's notes enough to pass ACCA exams?ADVICE please!!
Actually it is depend on individual lah! Some people feel that can take 4 papers study full time, but some ppl thing it is difficult to take 4 papers.
F5 to F7 will involve a lot of calculation. You need to spend a lot of time to practice the calculation. Beside calculation, you also can't skip theory cos no more optional question in this paper. ACCA know, last time a lot of candidates try to skip question on more theory and gain marks from calculation, so under new syllabus they don't allow student skip theory question.
For F8 Audit & Assurance, this is a killer paper in fundamental level. A lot of student die in this paper since Alan Lewin become examiner. You need to understand a lot of audit procedures for this paper. If I'm not mistake, the passing rate for this paper last time was a lowest in Part 2.
So it is very depend on individual. But for me, it is very hard for me to take 4 paper together even study full time. So may be u try 3 paper first lah if u thing u can't do it.
For lecturer notes, if you attend the class where he/she can provide you with good lecturer notes and teach you step by step to answer past year question, it should be enough for you study for ACCA exam. Text book may be only use for other reference purpose when u can't understand from lecturer notes.
For SEGi College, I think it is not a good choice for you cos only left Kwai Fatt in SEGi currently. A lot of ex-SEGi very good lecturer like Sheila, Vikness, Hannef already went to other college. So currently beside Kwai Fatt, I'm not sure other SEGi lecturer good or not. May be u can try my recommendation lecturers in below lah:-
F5 - Andrew Pang (Kasturi)
F6 - Alan Yeow (Kasturi), Siva Nair (FTMS) , Choong Kwai Fatt (SEGi, IRC only)-if he teach
F7 - Keith Farmer (Kasturi), Joe Fang (Kasturi), Haneef (Mc Orange)
F8 - Philip Woo (Kasturi), Sheila (Mc Orange), Fung Chee Kang (FTMS)
