hey guys, i know its late but i just want to know which is the better place to go for F5 irc : kasturi or kolej bandar, since this is the only two colleges that i looked up still available (i.e. commences on late may)

feel free to suggest any good lecturer for f5 irc. thanks smile.gif

I've been to both Andrew Pang's(kasturi) & also Low Chin Ann's(KB) F5 classes. For me Chin Ann is better. Andrew Pang's revision gives a thicker pile of Qs set but he only does a lot of questions that involves calculations. The Qs are mainly PYQ. He barely WRITEs on the theory part. The most he'll just read the answer for the theory part & explain what it means.

Whereas for Chin Ann, he prepares his own set of Qs. Some Qs may look like PYQ but it's modified to what he expects will be coming out this sitting. Chin Ann has a balance on calculation & theory parts. He also writes out the answers properly for the theory & discussion section & not just reading it from the given answers.

Also KB has lesser students so it's more comfortable. Imagine in Kasturi you'll have to reach at least 1 hour earlier just to book a decent place to sit. Then there's the issue of break times when the toilet queue & lift queue is just crazy rclxub.gif

Andrew Pang may cover more Qs due to his fast pace teaching but I feel Chin Ann's revision gives me more knowledge & make things clearer. When you try to cram a lot of things into your mind you'll end up gaining lesser. The only bad thing about Chin Ann's class is it's ends so close to the exam week. If you don't have any papers on the first few days then it's ok i guess.

Well, quantity =/= quality. But it all comes down to what type of lecturer that suits you the best. My friend likes Andrew Pang, so it really depends.

Hhmm.. I wouldn't suggest you taking both lecturers. Later you'll end up being more confused & even more freaked out as they may be focusing on different areas & also each lecturer has their own calculation technique.

KB is smack in the middle of Petaling Street. You know where's the Pak Peng building? It's just next to it. Or if you don't, you know the famous soya bean stall at the crossroad? Just walk down that side of the road. It's on the right hand side. The entrance is right after the famous assam laksa & sotong kangkung stall place. Haha. Sorry that all my landmarks are food stalls.

Each has his own good points.
Phillip Woo has a lot of experience in the field so he gives a lot of practical examples. But one thing i dislike is his long class hours which can be really tiring, because his style is talking non-stop (not that he's boring, he jokes once in a while & tells interesting stories). He writes very little, just the main points of the topic & he'll elaborate it by talking. So you'll have to pay 100% attention & jot down your own notes. It would be useful if you have a recorder. He gives several tests during the 2nd term so that we can judge our own standard. But it's entirely up to the student whether he/she wants to make the effort to do the test.

Whereas for Low Chin Ann, he writes a lot in class. He gives 2-3 tutorial classes during the end of 2nd term & do PYQ teaching us how to write the answers. This is useful because reading examiner's answers can be confusing. I feel Low Chin Ann's notes & teaching sequence is more organized.

Both are dedicated lecturers who are willing to listen & help the students so you can't go wrong with any one of them biggrin.gif

Pros :
1) FCCA lecturer (a lot of experience)
2) Teach the calculation portion of P2 quite well
3) Small class size making studier more comprehensive

Cons :
1) Examples used in explaining standard can be confusing at times (to certain people)
2) "Not so good" handwriting.

What do you mean by his standard explanation can be confusing at times? Can give some examples?

What is IMHO?
And actually, i know a person who signed up for Mr. Low's P1 n then was transferred by KB to Viknes's class..

That;s y i felt it was a teensy bit unscrupulous....
*
IMHO = In my humble opinion

When did your friend register for the P1 class? Because my friend who registered early got a phone call from KB the week before class started informing that Mr. Low's P1 class is cancelled and asked her to consider joining Viknes's class. But if she don't wish to join Viknes class she can defer the fees/refund(not too sure which but she wasn't forced to join).

He never did any of the past years.
I left with my group of friends a his first revision day since the content is the same from our last P3 class with him. If memory serves he will teach in reverse. He will most probably start with IT or section B area first, then proceed to section A.
PYQ should be RE instead.

Thx. Guess I'll take RE then. His RI & RE timetable is crazy if I take both P1 & P3 rclxub.gif

would choosing P5 as option paper better than P7? in deep dilemma now. sad.gif

Where does your interest lies in? Although many recommends to take P5 because it's easy to pass but I'm a firm believer in studying what you are interested in. No matter how hard it is you'll overcome it because of your interest whereas if you study something you don't like then it's very demotivating.
