frankly. im very grateful. the day before i had tax. so when it came to law, i just relied on the intensive revision kit. and guess what. the questions in the kit came out exactly. so were the answers too of cos. spotted questions, and what coming out and what NOT coming out, from my lecturer most of them were true along with the ones he spotted in class. generally was very happy during the exam. hopefully can pass. hehe. :)

is there any alternatives to the recommended P4 lecturers from the list given on the first page? any info on jeremy french from paac? a friend was saying his pass rate in his class is 100%.

yes. i second this topic. i will hopefully be attempting the optionals next year and im in need of guidance. my questions are.


would interest in the subject matter?

like if i am interested in FM, should i take it, over subjects tat are " less difficult " like PM.

which is more relevant in todays world?

which is more in demand? better job prospects?

which is a better combination? tax plus audit? FM plus audit? and other permutations.

what is an acca employer looking for?

if i don pick audit, would i be doing auditing in the future? if no, would i be confine to the desk for the rest of my life instead of doing field work?



hmm. other questions, im not sure. i don have it now. will ask in the future.

its true that you say that its impossible to teach 10 classes in 3 classes. but u gotta understand tat catch up classes' target audience are students who have failed in the previous semester. so its assuming that they already have the basic knowledge tat was thought. And catch up classes are not meant for pple with no knowledge at all in that respective subject. and therefore, a much speedier approach is taken during those classes. Im sure the students wont mind it being thought at speed sins theyve already learnt it anyway. so i gotta disagree with you being a marketing gimmick. and im sure its impossible to give the full 20 classes after august. time is a constraint.

i donno about first term students going at a slow pace, for i have not noticed the change of pace during the latter part of the semester. therefore i have nothing to say on this.

Hmm. If this forum is also viewed by lecturers from their respective colleges, and its students, maybe we should talk about something that is a bane to students, year in year out.

I know i know that every college needs to be competitive, and try to be ahead of making sure they get their students. But I think competitiveness has gone to a point, where the student actualy loses out. There are deliberate moves of making classes of one college, clash with anotha class of anotha college. Okay. Maybe its pure coincidence. Maybe its the way it is. Im sure that students can raise their hands, if they have missed one class before bcos of a clash. But Like I said, Maybe its pure coincidence.

One example is one college may purposely wait til maybe say one week or two weeks before the month of the IRC, eg May or November, just so that they can see what the other college is doing with their timetable, and then work around that. So its year in year out, these colleges, they hand out their IRC timetables fairly late. If you were a student, or even worse working, you need to make sure of your classes times, you need to get your days off for the IRC. Getting to know a timetable beforehand at a very early stage would help alot.

But then again. Once we get the timetable, its problem number one again, as some classes clash with anotha. Again, it might be purely coincidental.

Now Im not here tryna name and shame. Im just highlighting the problems faced by students every 6 months. I understand Competitiveness is a must to survive in this world. But to do it at the expense of us students, is almost unethical. Like I said, Im not here to name and shame. I Just hope that colleges out there would see that this has become a problem. And try to improve on that. As we have learnt we are always trying to improve on something through productive criticism. And i hope pple can take this constructively, and not personally.

Im sure there are students who share the same opinion? Feedbacks are welcomed. Maybe my argument is flawed. What are your experiences with clashes of timetables. And do you feel that the clashes are a toll on you?

Hey guys.

I am a former sunway student. Just wanna ask.

For your F7, do u still divide your page into 2 parts? Right side, you fulfill the question requirements, and on the left you do the working to facilitate referencing?

Hmm. Im wondering if this is still applicable as its now gonna be on screen marking.
