welcome..
juz try to resit her class again.. and do put more effort on this paper..
like what i shared here was that, i only did 75 marks for the paper, and yet, scored 51 marks, but for Q3, i just simply write smth on that question.
nothing is impossible, just you have to turn the impossible to become possible.
i didn't mean you can simply attempt 75 marks in the exam and leave the exam hall, but at least you had covered all the important topics such as IAS 19, 12, 32/39, IFRS 2, 3, 21&29, 36, 37, 38 etc. those are the stds that might appeared in the consol question. attempt all the questions even though you don't know how to do it. a simple bluffing answer can award you with 2-3 marks if you were at the verge to pass this paper.

besides, is this the 1st time you sit for p2?
in fact i failed in the 1st attempt with 44 marks, cos i din study IAS21&29 which caused me didn't know how to do the FOREX adjustment, and that adjustment was about 6 marks.
remember menon's advise, no matter pass or fail, life goes on. you cant make it this time, you will make it next time, and believe you can do it too.

Added on August 22, 2009, 1:58 amnot only u faced the failure, most of my friends failed too.
so what you need to do right now is, sign up menon's resit class immediately.
attended all her lectures, do not simply skip any classes.
self study in P2 will not make you pass this paper.
eg, menon mentioned FULL GOODWILL will not be examined for DEC 2008 & JUNE 2009, but, the examiner examined it, and good enough, menon still go through FULL GW method in piecemeal acquisition with us.

anyway, DEC 2009 for P2 is the last chance to pass, since the revised stds are not examinable yet, which will be examined in JUNE 2010. so hope you can pass this paper as soon as possible, dun let this paper to be your nightmare. good luck for your P2 and so my P1.. hahahaha..

anyone kno how to transfer from kuching sunway Tes to KL sunway Tes? wats the procedures? 10x in advance

f8 down! f9 n p1 to go!

hope tis time can really clear my F papers..

erm, its answerable.. i wrote more than enough for all the small parts especially part (a) of each question.
and did attend every part too, although missed out few marks in the section, but at least i wrote smth there (perhaps tats for the purpose of lenient marks to pass, haha)
not like last time, skipped at least 16 to 20 marks totally blank for some parts of the question.

this paper is totally out of alan lewin's style.
a lot of knowledge questions appeared.
anyway, u have done ur best, the rest, leave it to God, keep up with the paper leftover.

lol, internal control in the kitchen, i wrote mgmt should adopt the policy of cleanliness and command every worker to follow.
and the way to make sure it is satisfied, visit the premise's kitchen, and ensure tat the policies and controls are put in place.
i dunno tis correct or not.

but the calculations are quite easy tis time. especially Q1 & Q2.
but Question 1's requirement is very confusing.
i was confused by part (a) n part (b). cos the term used is the same, like part (a) buy or lease, part (b) oso the same, buy the technology using NPV method.
wat the heck, i did (a) n (b) adversely, luckily when i read the question carefully, i managed to identify the differences, n then put the NPV as part (b) in 1st page n then buy or lease as (b) in 2nd page.

besides, not enough time to finish the paper! i left 3 marks blankly in Q1, and 12 marks blankly in Q4. other 2 questions, managed to finished all.

i din even try to balance the SOFP. state down the figure and the workings n then back to 9 marks of hedging approach.
besides, tats damn tricky.
our time is reli tight in the exam, n the examiner keeps on fooling around with us!

can u even finish the whole paper?

lol, u stated control oni, the question oso asked EA to carry out the procedures to satisfy himself tat the control is in place. haha.
anyway, tis question reli not need F8 knowledge la.
the key word is poor quality of food prepared, very obvious tat the food is not hygiene at all.

lol, guess tat u will be taking p2 next sem rite?

Added on December 10, 2009, 11:42 pmbut tat answer is awarded for 1 mark, so i juz simply stated down "observation" as an audit procedure.

This post has been edited by kelvinbadroyal: Dec 10 2009, 11:42 PM

f7 still can do check and balance la, haha.
but our lecturer even threaten us not to calculate final figure of SOFP in the class, not warn u kno? is threaten.
if he found tat we do tat, he will smash our calculator. haha.
but of cos, in the real exam, if u do hav extra time, u can do tis.

hwever in p2, tis is reli impossible. cant finish the whole damn paper, not to say check n balance the SOFP.

lol, i stated visit the premise's kitchen la, its oso a kind of "observation" rite?
if there are pretty chef cook, better "observe" in much more detail~
not going to let go any single corner.

yeah, tats right, so, u left with F7?

i left with P1 on monday.
haha, i think u can get some advice from topace111, he is good in this.
or try to pm him to get advices from him for your OBU.

same to you too~

it would be advisable for you to start your question in an ascending order.
if i am not mistaken, Q1-3 carry equal marks rite? therefore, if you want to pass this paper, master these 3 questions, then you will never fail this paper (even though you purposely wan to fail this paper, its difficult oso. lol)

invigilator will collect ur exam docket away right after your last paper.
as ACCA had clearly stated for a few decades, "THIS EXAMINATION ATTENDANCE DOCKET REMAINS THE PROPERTY OF ACCA".
unless you print a duplicate copy of exam attendance from myACCA.

Added on December 14, 2009, 7:35 pmP1 is quite difficult today.. especially Q1, the scenario is very long and vague, need to read for 2 or 3 times to understand the whole situation..

This post has been edited by kelvinbadroyal: Dec 14 2009, 07:35 PM

reli cant bluffing at all.
it asked us to identify and analyse the failure of internal control.
wat the hell? i dunno what to write about oso.
besides, it such a damn long scenario, cant understand the scenario very well at 1st time, got to spend more time on understanding it.

luckily i spotted AAA model, with 14 marks, found totally no problem in tis section.
besides, oso spotted 2 tier board, threw in all the points and different btw unitary board and 2 tier board and then list down 2 advantages and 2 disadvantages of it and elaborate the points.

Added on December 15, 2009, 12:12 amall the best for your p2 ya.
PASS!

as for me, i m now enjoying my holidays

This post has been edited by kelvinbadroyal: Dec 15 2009, 12:12 AM

lol, i started with Sec B 1st before go into Q1, left 1 hr and 15 mins to do Q1, end up, not enough time for Q1 at all. Couldn't fully attend the whole question.
but i did all the 50 marks for my Sec B as well.

hei fellas, exam is over, dun keep go round about tis topic. stop the argument bout tis as well. we are here to give opinion, not to argue.
every lecturer has his/her way in teaching student to attempt the paper. students can either follow or not follow.
starting from either Sec A or B is not a matter, its just the matter of time management, not the biggest deal in the exam.
the most important is, how do you present your answer or do your answers meet the examiner's requirement. tat is what we should focus on in the exam.

even you start from either 1 question in Sec B, and go back to Sec A for the 50 marks question, it does not mean tat you will pass the paper, or whether you start with Sec A 50 marks question, does not meant tat you are going to fail the paper. PASS works both way if you really prepare for your exams.

indeed, i believe tat starting from Sec B, where most of the easiest question will appear from this section, it does give me confidence. however, tis is my method of attempting the paper. BUT, if i found 50 marks comprise more easy marks to gain, due to human nature, of cos i will start with 50 marks question n then go for Sec B. (but this will never appear in P level paper). What if there is no easy questions in the paper? which part are you going to start with? leave this to your own, cos i dunno as well.

in fact, using ascending order in attempting the paper will be doing examiners a good favor, but the examination board also claims that students can answer the question in random order, there is no offense to examination guidelines, no penalty will be imposed to the student. and, of cos SPM cannot compare with ACCA. if i m not mistaken, SPM candidates use scattered papers in writing the answer, but we ACCA students use answer booklet to write the answers, of cos its not easy to attempt the answer by using ascending order if you wish to start with Sec B question, unless you leave few pages for tat particular question.
* examiner is also a human being, he understands wat do students face when attempting the paper. besides, we pay so much DAMN POUND for the paper, dun you think you should make him work more by flipping the exam scripts?

anyway, the exam is over, is time for us to have a good break, relax our exhausted physical and mind. and be prepared for the coming new semester.
cheers!

lol, i dun even bother to read GTG textbook at all. sometime i dun even collect the textbook although i have paid my school fees. i wonder why my college, sunway will prefer this publisher as coursebook?
its so damn crapping and bulky. compare GTG to kaplan, i rather prefer kaplan, but compare to BPP, its the best among all.
