Hi. Is CAT easy? Is it easy even if I didn't learn accounting in school.

Think again about doing ICAEW?  

I think Mr.Akbar is new to F5, and never really heard any good comments bout him. Since u already failed twice, why not try some other place.

If I'm not wrong, F5 was being taught by Ms Voon Sia all this while. Mr Akbar came along recently in Jan 09. Did he teach F5 in some other college before? I thought he was teaching CAT in Sunway right?

i heard sunway platinum status is gone because p2 passing rate not up to requirement

Another Sunway supporter, no point to argue with So Hai ppl like you.

Continue support your Mr Teo la. He will more happy when so much So Hai like you.

P3 Business Analysis BA(3.5)
Wong Siew Choo (FTMS)
Martin (FTMS) *RI only

Anyone attended Wong Siew Choo class b4? Pls advice?

Dear ar...how can u call me yong sui wan...i heart broken de lo...
I am taught by dinesh before but not P3. I think he is ok ok only lo...
I still think Marcus is the best for P3. Wonder why he left for Inti, maybe salary there higher? Wakakaka!!
Anyways, u can still give dinesh a try ya! Good Luck!

You can't really blame the director for want of publicity.
Prize winners are dropping & lecturers are leaving, they really need some sort of revival scheme to boost the morale around.
When CKF comes it gives him the oppurnity to pull the strings to attract more students and he did "for now".
Luckily acca market is not as volatile as share market / politics or everyone will react accordingly with the news.

One more thing I heard about sunway which also needs clarification.
I am also curious why sunway passing rate is so high compared to others & I can't help but wonder whether student performance is the only factor behind it. I discovered that sunway practice a policy of "selecting" students for exams.
- your choice of taking no of papers depends on the director (If take 4 he will evaluate whether can you pass all not student choice)
- got some sort of internal exam which (3 times ?) that if you fail all 3 you will be "delisted" from sunway as student.

I think there are others policy but this is the one i am quite sure, is it true ?

It is normal that u're not opted into OBU, because you need to pass your f4 prior to be opted in (unless u have other certs to certify your english language profiency, eg IELTS, MUET, etc). When you have passed your f4, then you should be opted in automatically. If not, you can send a simple email to the UK ACCA to ask them to opt you in. Or you can consult your college for further assistance.

Remember that to qualify for the OBU, you need to pass f4 prior to attempting any paper of f7, f8 , f9. Means you need to clear f4 before passing any one of paper f7, f8, f9. If lets say u passed f7, but failed f4, you can no longer take OBU at all forever, do u get it?
There's no problem with it.

Check for this:
Below the "Update centre selection"
Above the "Section B"

It should state that:
Your variant selections are:Law:  Malaysia (MYS)
Tax:  Malaysia (MYS)
Then there is no prob at all. I hope it helps. Any other questions, you can ask me

can u guys help me?
i juz gt my spm results, n i wonder to  further my studies, should i get a degree 1st then get ACCA or CAT then ACCA?
did TARC offer degree in accountancy ? help plz!

i would like enquire about the ptptn loan for sunway college.Does sunway college for ACCA courses are applicable for ptptn loan or if there is other loan that can be apply??
i need a reply soon as i m havin financial difficulties~!!thank you!

I'm not agree with this statement. Do you know how part time student study ACCA? Part time student every week work 5 to 5 1/2 days and during peak period they don't have time to study, how to attend and pass the mock exam? But why they still can pass the ACCA exam even they study last minutes.

I got one friend study part time P2 in Sunway last sitting, she was not happy with arrangement for too many class and mock exam in Sunway as she was part time student. Finally she fail mock exam and Sunway want to ban her from take exam. She was very angry for this arrangement, how come paid so much money, but college still want to ban her take exam. Finally, she register as private student to take P2 and pass the exam.

I got a lot of friend (including me) study all paper part time and full time in KL, don't have much chance to attend mock exam. Even attend mock exam, but also fail in low marks. But in real exam, they still can pass. I got one friend from TARC, she is just attend P2 & P3 revision class in KL college and just use 2 weeks to study, but finally she can pass this 2 paper.

From my opinion, Mock exam is good for student. Attend mock exam can help student know the mistake, but if you fail doesn't mean you will fail in real ACCA exam.

For the platinum status, I don't think this is very important for ACCA student. If you are good student, you go to anywhere also can study. Just like you drink coke in 5 star restaurant, that is no difference for the taste if you buy coke in 7-11.

Very funny. A lot of lecturer also know how bad about Mr Teo. In commercial, a lot of lecturer also hate Mr Teo. If u don't believe, go to ask the lecturer already left Sunway. A lot of the Famous & experience lecturer already left Sunway, this is also true, just u don't agree and go to promote Sunway. Btw, may be still got some good lecturer, but not much lo! 

Sorry lo, u are now keep on to hate other college, is you keep on to fire. If you want to stop, then please don't reply me. I won't stop if you still continue said other college bad thing.

Total agree with your statement.

As a senior, we can try our best to give the recommendation for the lecturer, tell the student pro & con for that lecturer or college. But the best recommendation is student try out first and he/she will know better.

And not like that fellow, keep on to promote Sunway and keep on to said "other college lecturer spotting question rather than making the students understand what the syllabus is about". In chinese word, it means 抬高自己，踩低别人 to promote Sunway!

I agree with your statement here & i like the coke analogy.
I think every individual deserves the right to exam & any sort of ban is nothing short of infringement of human rights.
I also like another post above mentioning something about battlefield. I perceive acca as something in opposite actually which i will not mention here.
The funny thing about mock is that I always tend to achieve better in simulation compared to than actual one. How ironic it seems.
Perhaps failure in mock can drive that particular student to even greater hight (a sort of motivation speech I read somewhere).

Finally I can conclude my findings about "Lecturers" after few months of research which I dare not reveal earlier due to lack of data. Ok here we go.
The issue of experience , capability, qualification, popularity, pass rates, race, fees structure, location will have to take backseat to the ultimate factor, synergy.

Ok I will use 4 lecturers for 2 different papers tested with 4 different students to illustrate :
First theory paper so I use P3 : Parmindar & Michael Mainwaring
Both lecturer are have proven track record with heavy pedigree as well. However both of them have a very distinctive way of lecturing.
After hanging out with several friends (for P3 its mostly girls) I have encountered some of them cannot adapt to parmindar style of giving several model as an answer to a question. The linkage use between model also confuse them as well. Boys (em hem) whom majority have good memory power doesn't find these a problem so they are comfortable with it but majority of the girls find it rather cumbersome.

Some of them tried out michael mainwaring for revision & find out he is completely different as he teach 1 model for 1 answer instead of parmidar way of giving as many examples as possible. One of them also point out m.m use a more direct & simple approach which suited them more. So after few more narration it erupt into lecturer war which I am stuck in the middle. Support the girls the boys branded me a traitor, supporting the boys the girls branded me as "ungentleman" whtever that means so i left after reconcile.

Next on calculational paper so I use P2 : Haneef & Yap Kok Wah.
Both are very experienced lecturer but have different focus & style. Haneef is more interested in the theoretical part & lecture based on Int stream.
Yap is more interested in calculational part & lecture based on MYS stream. In the past i will quickly recommend the former lecturer but after some few discussion with another group of friends I have also arrived at the synergy conclusion.

These time I start from 2 different girl. One who fail under Haneef but passed under yap while the other one is the opposite.
The first girl have studied under haneef for quite some time but still fail with reasons unknown to her (she is quite hardworking too). Then she just decided to follow another lecturer & decided to join her close friend who attend yap class. After that she passed the exam. It seems that although Yap is not perfect but the methods suit her more than the previous lecturer.
Another girl whom is also smart & harworking also failed but under yap she finds the method quite inadequate for exam purpose. So she decided to follow haneef & finally pass the exam with flying colours as well since she finds haneef method fills the gaps of her previous lecturer methods.

Ultimately the choice of lecturer lies on the student itself. There will be never one universal lecturer whom suits all expectations & needs.
If you want the best recommendation try out the lecturer yourself and make your own review. Thats thousand times better indicator compared to experienced lecturer   or world class university.

This is first time I see ppl support college too much. Ban student to take exam also say is correct. Ha Ha, very funny.

If KSA or Mc Orange ban student to take exam, this 2 college also can get Platinum status. Forgot to tell you also, Kasturi didn't ban any student to take exam, but also can get gold.

I agree Sunway is a good college for students to pursue ACCA/CAT, but NOT ON LECTURER lo. Ya, Sunway oso got good lecturer but not as per you say 'all lecturers are good'.

And every college also got pro & con, you only look at good thing about Sunway, but never look anything not good. That is no perfect in the world, young man.
