Joe Fang good and special technique in Consol, but FRS part just so so only. He just cover in simple way for FRS part, so you need to read more yourself for FRS. Btw, since his Consol method so fast, then you can save a lot of time during exam and concentrate more to FRS question.

for theory, memorize all IASs.. to the point that u can quote the entire standard.. make notes if u want.. always dedicate ur time to this paper.. u must know IASs and IFRSs in detail for sure..
for console, practice questions.. try to do as many as possible until ur speed is superb.. and also read past year answers to see how the questions are answered..

this is wat i did and i scored for the paper first attempt.. Good luck!!

That is the Menon solution

Yea, that's why I am looking for some solutions to improve my FRS.

Thanks for your advice. Would the textbooks/study guides/exam kits help much in this subject? BPP or Kaplan?

Anyone want to sell his/her copy of Exploring Corporate Strategy by Johnson, Scholes & Whittington? Or can anyone guide me on where can the text with a cheaper price? Or anywhere can get photostated copy? Thx!

LOL.. i study Menon's notes.. never touched textbooks at all..

Kasturi is opening their PJ centre, near Yuen's steamboat area.
YAY for those who doesn't wanna travel to KL!

You can get it from OIC.
One of the bosses is the sole supplier in SEAsia.
The price is about RM35 i think.

But if you attend their p3 classes, they will give you for free.

yeah, that is great news! any idea which paper is being offered?

borrow it from KL library.i don that too.you can extend ur lending period ie max period=28 days

Haha, I think for those demand lecturer like Philip Woo won't be in PJ branch la since they work for Part time only.

May be Andrew Pang, Sajeetha, Jackson Chan & other lecturers will be open other class there.

But since PJ got Sunway, I don't think many student will prefer study in KSA PJ. ha ha

I am an ACCA student and I am left with 4 more papers..I have opted to have one of my last paper to undergo admin review.. Not sure how the result is going to be..

I have a few questions..

1. Where can I get BPP book for P7 (MYS)?
2. Considering that I am attempting P2, P5 and P7 in the Dec 2009 sitting, Can I do a self study on P5?
3. Are there any other lecturer besides Andrew Pang who is good in P5? Other recommended lecturer for P5?
4. Has anyone received a positive feedback from the admin review?

Hope to get some advice.. Thanks a lot..

wah you sound like other lecturer othere than philip woo got NO DEMAND

1) Very hard to find acca books from local bookstores. I know McO centre sells BPP books & P7 is one of them. For audit there is not much difference between international & MYS stream. Around 0.1% only.

2) Regarding self study, it is rather hard to say since everyone studies with different absorption rate. Comparing all this 3 papers, I will say P5 is the least hardest to manage. Why not you try to look at its precedent paper F5 before decide ?

3) There are a lot of people teaching F5 but only Andrew Pang & Chow Kim Tai with > 20 years experience. I have received many Pm from students from other lecturers that they are quite good too but then again it depends on their preference & style too.

4) Admin review is best avoided bcos examiner / marker always tried their best to pass the student within 45 - 49 marks range (speculative). However if you anyone is stuck at 49, it is most likely that the student have much such a grave error that examiner cannot pass the respective student. However if the examiner is in good mood .....who knows ?

Added on September 1, 2009, 6:34 pmDemand for lecturer is a very interesting topic actually.
I dont think most people will actually go all the way to find "a lecturer" if they have not browsed this forum b4.
Most will just stick by a famous centre like Sunway or KSA.
So unless that particular lecturer is very reputable, there is actually 0 demand for that lecturer.
The demand all goes to the centre / university.

So its like you are saying, "I go to sunway bcos i really like that Mr X teaching for that particular paper".
Or "I go to that particular centre just bcos of that Mr Y, nothing more nothing less".

By the way I never study under Phillip Woo before, so you cannot literally flame me for being supportive of him, peace ya

Ayoh, please don't misunderstanding. What I means was some demand lecturer will not go to KSA PJ branch due to they only teaching part time in KSA. Philip Woo is one example where he was most demand F8 & P1 in KSA.

Even Parmindar oso demand lecturer for P3, but he only run P1 in PJ branch.

HI.... May I know what is "fundamental error"?
How do I prevent from making this mistake?
I am first time taking F8 exam for this sitting.. there is anything I should pay attention on?
Btw, the answer should write in essay form?
How is presentation should be?
Thanks fo reply^^

Hi, my boyfriend sister is sitting her ACCA exam soon, she need the P3 Business Analysis-Revision Kit 2009 by BPP for her study, anyone can help where to get this book? Thank you ya!

people,
wheres your best choice of taking the ACCA exam?
and your reasons?
+ the pros and cons of taking exam at the center.

thanks.

Examiner always set the exam with 50:50, fundamental : technical ratio.
Examiner expects student to do well in those fundamental areas (to pass) but more tolerant when students make technical mistake.
Technical mistake is very hard to discern, since examiner can released all kinds of difficult questions but if you encounter a very weird & confusing question, more likely its a technical question. However if question asked is direct but you make the mistake here, marker will not be amused.

Examples of fundamental error :
- Confusing TOC with SP
- Confusing credit sales with cash sales

Fundamental errors will likely committed by those students who learned by memorising or the "audit way" (flipping between questions & answers).
So the student just copy & paste regardless of the entire scenario.

Added on September 3, 2009, 6:46 pmDoesnt really make any major difference but if you are those guys that think (take at sunway hard to pass..... take at others quality is reduced, easier to pass.....) then my suggestion is to take at remote places.

During CAT I took at TARC, students there got aura of ,exam under one large hall & you will see all kind of faces over there. Seen a girl crying bcos lack of time, guy sleeping bcos of boredom or confusion, got 1 student keep on asking extra booklet, one guy keep on going to the toilet,... but most shows that intimidating face that shows "I can do any question & score at every exam"..... brrr damn stressful.

Then I took at IPB (rejected at TAR bcos of geographical factor). The most relaxed place I ever been. At least half of the students are CAT not ACCA (both took together), hall is very long but not large so no need to see many faces over there. Most of the students are one kind, if you get my drill.
