I heard p3 is more common sense paper rather than reading on the text and notes. anyone know which book is recommended for reading that will help enhance my knowledge for p3?

Generally recommended books will be BPP & Kaplan.
However if you want direct from the source you should buy books written by Johnson & Scholes since examiner used their works heavily in P3.

Thanks ya smile.gif
Hmm, which kind of books should i buy ? About business?

The thing you "need" to know about P3 is quite small since you are only required to be familiar with universal model like SWOT & PESTEL.
However you "should" know a lot of things if you want to get through P3 smoothly. Technically all business books can be relevant.
For P3 is best to stick with a lecturer for guidance on key topic so revision (IRC) is good enough.
However its also beneficial to quote practical experience from lecturers example which will easily impress marker about professionalism.
I think you can scout around for MBA books too if you are interested.
If you want I can PM key topics about P3 for guidance.

I've not start my p3 lesson yet.. so i know nothing about p3 currently..
would be nice if you can pm me the key topics and areas =D

I think just based on lecturer is not sufficient, based on my p1 last sem. Lack of knowledge to answer the question.. nth for me to crap out sad.gif
I don't read books actually.. that's y sad.gif
hopefully to read some external info to enhance my knowledge..

If you go to Michael or Parmindar class I am sure you have too much too read till you bleed. (not literally)
Both lecturers like to quote real life case scenario like paying RM 1m as deposit to get Mcd franchise , HP R&D exp p.a,....etc.
So dont worry about lack of materials to read in P3 compared to P1 as P1 is still a new paper.
P3 also required some IT knowledge as examiner is also ex IT lecturer.

Oh, i'm going for parminder O.O
too much to read? haha that's sounds abit scary now..
hopefully everything is alright for me.
Thanks alot for your help! biggrin.gif

hey ppl, need some advise over here again smile.gif

I'm still thinking of whether i should take p5( performance mgmt) or p7 ( audit ) .
I failed my F8 by 1 mark.. which means 49.. so i'm afraid to take p7.. but i heard p7 is easier than F8..
what is the diff btwn F8 and p7 basically?

Ok first of all P7 is definitely harder than F8.
F8 only requires student to react based on question asked. No practical knowledge is required & student only needs to familiarise with normal flows of systems & procedures like sales & purchase system.
P7 is quite different as it requires student with good grasp on P2 & have working experience b4 as in audit / assurance line. If you have sat for P3 you will understand what I mean by "biz knowledge".
Syllabus of P7 & F8 is quite similar with only minimal add-onn but the main difference is the way to answer in exam. Imagine CAT T7 with ACCA F5.
Normally people avoid taking audit in optional unless they are being bonded by an assurance firm or they just simply like audit.

thanks again topace smile.gif
I shall just go with p5 then..

i have a good friend who took p7 attending goh hong lim at sunway last sem and he say good. but i attended goh hong lim f8 and shela 2.6 before and this is what i think. for sheila 2.6, she will just give you her bulky notes and will not encourage you to ask question as she thinks asking question will make you 'confuse'. and after that i promise myself will not attend any of her class again. for goh hong lim f8, i think he is the kind of person that like to make simple things complicated, and also the kind of person that will answer students question base on what he like to say rather than base on what students ask. i feel he is also an unethical person because when he taught audit risk in the class, he told us that he will not teach like what he did in the seminars because it will be seen to be too simple for the professionals that attend the seminar, and he will make things more complicated in the seminar. how can a person who teach ethics (p1), have such an unethical idea? this is also the reason i choose only p4 and p5 and avoid p7 where there is no recommended lecturer.

r u sure mr goh teach f8?

if i scored 49 for p2, i think i will jump down from klcc.. haha..
i think u should not take 3 core papers in this sitting, or why dun u take 2 papers 1st, and then other 3 papers for next sem?
in such a way, u can concentrate much more in the papers you take..
49 marks probably you have made some fundamental errors in your answer..
i m doing p1 tis sitting, hope i can pass in the 1st attempt..
*
quite painful to take p2 again.. broad syllabus and std always change..
good luck in ur p1 this sitting! =P

Hey btw, anyone know if stds had change from previous sitting? i heard is only change once a year rite..
