will his class be too hectic? i meanlike 10am to about 6.30? will a student be able to absorb everything?

P1
100% theory,only got pilot paper and one past year question. the requirement of examiner not so clear yet.

P2
>60 % theory

Current Issue is the most difficult part, and also is the most easy parts
Environment and professional ethic issue also very important.

The consolidate is one of the compulsory question

IAS39 is not so easy to understand

P3

New examiner , new style.
IT, quality ,project management is important.


ALL 3 papers have professional marks.

Ya, his class will be very long hours, from 10am to 6pm and not every student can absorb everything.

But no choice cos he is a S'pore lecturer and he only come back to KL one time in 2 week to teach F8 and P1. Sometimes we must understand his situation also lah!

So what he can do was give a break after 2 hrs lo. But he is not too back lah, cos in the class he tell us a lot of funny story also.

My comments on the paper:

P1 is a critical paper that required for all the other papers.
Suggest to get the reading requirements other then the Kaplan and BPP text. The examiner has recently offered an article which should be worth the read. The papers risk management part is quite similar to the old 3.1 paper, which gives you some additional past year papers to focus on. The stakeholder concept in the paper is the same in all the other papers - Mendelow grid is now a staple diet for those at the Professional stage.

P2 well it is much wider now with the addition of ethical issues in reporting as well as other reporting requirements. The paper is called corporate reporting which covers more areas than financial reporting

P3 the paper is about the same as the old paper when it comes to the case study part, therefore past year papers will be helpful
On the other hand the paper is under the old 2.1 examiner, who may have a liking towards the E-Business areas and related 2.1 materials.
So far only P3 has had a significant influx of the old 2.1 materials in the exam, ACCA stated that they will spread it equally, but this is not yet occuring.

Added on February 15, 2008, 12:22 amIn my opinion all the papers in the new syllabus have be re-set to equal level of difficulty - in the past, some papers had a higher pass rate and some had lower pass rate, now ACCA wants to re-set all about 30% average.

They already have the largest student number in the world, its time they started to trim down the inflow by increasing the quality.

The professional levels will become much harder.

P2 compared to P1 and P3, I suppose all are the same in terms of effort.
In terms of spotting P2 and P3 is easier
In terms of those with computational interest, P2 should be easier

As far as I remember, the lecturers will only say the paper is hard so as to increase your effort in that paper.

I suggest that each person should conduct your own SWOT before allocating resources (time) for the papers.

Those that are weak in theory, slow down and take your time cause the whole professional level is full of theory

Ha Ha Ha, examiner cannot conduct any class for his paper but only can give Seminar.

Ya, I agree with u, lecturers only are just guessing what the examiner want. So sometimes the examiner will come out one or two not hot topic in the exam.

But based on their experience, they can tell u the technique to earn each marks from the exam. A good experience and responsibity lecturer will teach u step by step to answer exam question. They will tell u how to answer when see difference type of question.

Based on their experience and seminar from examiner, they will know the favourite topic from examiner. And beside make u understand for each topic, they also will tell u what is the important KEY WORD in answer question.

Nowaday also, the lecturer do a lot work for student. A lot of lecturer do their own study notes for student. With the good study notes, u no need to study text book by hard. Some of the lecturer even develop their own answer for the past year question for student.

So even the lecturer can't help u 100% for the exam, but with all this thing, he/she already help u a lot. And you must remember, a lot of student fail exam not because of lecturer not good, but is because of themself not done so good during the exam.

ACCA is difference from Degree course. If u want to complete it within a short period, my advise is u better go to attend the class. Even with the lecturer, there was no gurantee pass, but without lecturer, you will feel that more difficult to pass.

Actually, we can't said the prof paper is more difficult or more easy. Just for new syllabus, ACCA put more theory into practical. They want the student know more on application than study theory by hard.

I can give u a example also, my friend go to do P6 last sitting. B4 he actually enter for exam, he feel that problem is not much to handle this paper cos he get 48 marks in June 07. And also his lecturer Chow Chee Yan told student P6 cut down a lot of specialise industries, so sholud be easier than old 3.2. That day after he go for exam, he was very disappointed cos the question very practical until he don't know how to advise. But look like the question so hard, I really don't understand how can Chow Chee Yan go to tell student P6 should be easier than old 3.2?

As you can see from the Pilot paper and Dec 07 PYQ, the question was very practical as compare to old syllabus. Even you are very strong in theory, not means that you can do very well in P1 and P3, cos study theory and answer question is difference story. And also for those strong in calculation, not means that they can done well in P2, cos consol part for P2 can be very confuse until they do a lot of mistake in the qusetion.

I also have friends that get 49% in audit paper.
After that study very hard and did a lot of revision
Next time she able to score 49% again

After that ,she went to attend the full time class again and studied advance audit.
In that sitting,the question is easy for her,
after the result out , she get 44%

And she took this audit paper at last sitting, and she said is very difficult.
We will know the result at 18tfeb.
I think she will pass at this sitting ,because she said it is difficult.

Which paper? 2.6/F8 or 3.1/P7?

But as I told u b4, 2.6/F8 passing rate very low. A lot of student feel that done well during the exam, but when result out fail!

Hope you can pass in 1 sitting lah!

examiners giving seminars will benefit us all. but had you ever seen an examiner giving a seminar in malaysia?

She took paper 2.6.(3 times with 49,49,44)
last sitting re-sit again and take F8

I also afraid i will fail , cause u told me before , the ppl that feel confident, normally will fail.
The person who didnt do well in the exam, but always pass .

If FOC, then go lah! But if charge u, better done waste your money.

I went to 3.2 examiner seminar b4, what he try to tell u was how to answer the exam question and some exam technique. But all this thing, Kwai Fatt already told us during his normal class.

The examiner won't tell u the KEY TOPIC cos he need u to study the whole syllabus.

anyone ACCA student here is from Sunway? I wonder whether Sunway got part time ACCA courses for Part 2 and 3?

sunway has part time courses, conducted on weekends and also weekday nights. check wif sunway for details, ty.

Maybe for her standard , fail is below 70.
SO that she afraid cant get more than 70,
so that she worried

3days left, how about your (all acca students)feeling now?

Wonder whether got problem receive the result late or not by using Hotmail for tis time as las sitting, hv to log in to ACCA web to c result 1st as very late using Hotmail

I received my result at the after 2 days.(that means is the 3rd day)

I wait until midnight 12am.
