what is POIA?
you means that just study all except POIA andIHC.
The most high chance  will come out is export incentives?
*
POIA is the promotion of investment act....inside include pioneer status, investment allowance and etc(can check study guide)...

and the export incentive i think is 99% will come out, since examiner keep on remind us to read it during his talk...

this is all i know....
for those have further info, plz also tell us here lo~

the difficult part is question 2.

i dont have confident to answer ,

other question like question 4 is 15marks  and the transfer pricing is 9 marks and plus the question 1 a , rental income is 6 marks

the 30 % is confident.

Based on the new syllabus guide, core paper no longer difficult than optional paper.

Last time, in optional paper, it got 1 IT paper - 3.4 Business Information Management. A lot of student like to take this paper b'cos it is easier if compare to other papers. But under new syllabus, this paper no longer individual subject but merge into P3.

And also in 3 core paper now, 3.7 already move to optional paper(P4) + replaced by P1 in the 3 core paper. P1 is not difficult if compare to 3.7.

So, where got core paper difficult than optional paper now?

Some more in the optional papers now, examiner expect student can handle very practical question.

For eg, in the P6 Advance Tax, the examiner will treat student like Tax Adviser and want student give a lot of tax advise based on the problem in question. Compare to previous 3.2, where examiner require need a good undertanding of Tax Com, Tax implication and Tax planning.

Even in P7, you will find that examiner expect candidates have a very strong FRS knowledge, due to this paper is after P2 Corporate Reporting as compare to last time 3.1 where b4 3.6. In last time 3.1, the format of question was standard, so a lot of lecturer got the technique to teach student answer question in 3.1. But under new P7, you will find that question was more difficult than 3.1. Due to this, a lot of lecturer also stop teaching P7.

recently i juz sit for the optional paper...
but i still feel that the optional paper is easier compare to the core paper....
i think the pass rate difference is mainly due to the difficulties of the paper for the year~

because i feel that core paper and optional paper are main to test ur understanding and apply to the relevant case...
so i have not see big difference on the characteristic of the papers...

From those taking both papers,I've heard P5 is easier.

I think both papers involve calculations. P4 calculations can be tedious but once again that depends on the paper. Like P4 this sem didn't have an overload of calculations I think,but was still very tough (both calculation and theory)

I would say go for P5.Not saying it's easy,since it's a professional paper,but shouldn't be as tough as P4 (especially under this new examiner)
*
totally agree~
P5 is easier compare to P4~
according to one of my lecturer, actually P4 will give the full mark or give u the 0 marks...
because once u know to do it, u will get success on it~but once u dun know, then u will totally fail it~
so it is very risky for taking P4~
