So I have decided to take three papers for my upcoming ACCA exam. Which paper should I take from F6-F9? Someone suggested me to take F6, F7 and F9 together because F8 and P1 is related and so I could take F8 and P1 together. Anymore suggestions?
*
f6- tax. it's relatively easywhen u take mys variant,but u also have to be knew core areas of theory(i remember i get a 60 ++ pass just bcos i dont have a good knowledge on some theories)
f7-u really have to be strong here-at least for p2 purpose
f8- really a lot of work-not just memorise also practices to make u really understand audit.for first.if you are first timer you better get a lecturer who can make you really understand the topic,especially if you never touch actual audit before.
maybe write a list of what qualities you want in your lecturer:eg simplified notes,talk about actual experience,good memorisation techniques,systematic etc

f9-it's 50 calc 50% theory-so there's some areas to memorise

but i suggest u look the syllabus at accaglobal.for f9 it's financial and f7 is reporting standards.u can look this through the internet or a library.

it really depends.get a good mix of heavy memorise and practice,a 50/50,calculation mix.

from a f8 second-timer and p1 -first timer perspective
( i take f8 & p1 together)
hmm...i remember i barely understand corporate governance while i take f8 for first time.it was just lucky that my exams does not came on that topic.then i take p1,and i start to know more about it,as f8 is quite summarised on corporate governance.
(provided that u really listen to that topic at class and you understand it.)
and p1 is more easier to understand compared to f8,especially if u have this two papers taught by the same lecturer(personally thinking smile.gif )


cons: there are some areas u really need to answer in that paper format(eg f8 question-f8 format ie audit ).i remember a question about controls in which areas in a company-in p1 paper,and the answer required cannot in f8 format
as what they says above

I definitely agree Chin Ann is a dedicated and friendly lecturer. He could speak cantonese, mandarin and english well. So u won't find any problems in approaching him and asking him questions.

But one thing u need to take note, although he's considered as an "experienced lecturer" after so many years of teaching, but one of the drawbacks about him is that he's lack of practical experience.

Believe it or not, u could make a comparison after attending Philip Woo and Parmindar's classes. You would then find that Chin Ann couldn't provide you with some real life scenario and examples.

After reading so many "Good feedback" about Chin Ann, i think i should also state this " little not-so-good feedback" about him.

Hope everyone could make a better choice of lecturers after taking into account advices given by forummers.
*
as someone who study under him previously i highly agree with your above statement-but it's not to say he's bad.he's good for those who has lecturer who tell them more about practical experience and does no have a full picture of f8 and it's knowledge-then chin ann is highly reccommended.he has student friendly notes(needs to copy in class) and his revision classes r very good .


i need to ask if there's any good f9 lecturer for next sitting.if daniel ho is unavailable,who else can be recommended?
my friend wants me to recommend...and she's not from kl so i need to give her the right info,since i dunno about anyone else other than daniel ho or chow kim tai sad.gif

Hi all , I would like to ask about P2 paper ,
why is it consider a killing paper?
mind share some experience?
as im going to take next term.

only thing i heard is that F7 is dif from P2, but the reason im not very sure ..
*
i only take p2 briefly last sitting b4 i defer...it's totally different knowledge,but with the requirement that u know those f7 knowledge.
and it's " abstract"
u need to think a lot,so i reccommend a good textbook with good examples(although i dunno which ones r good smile.gif )

_______

i do think i forgot to reply one post sad.gif please inform me if it is yours

Do you mean he can share with us about practical experience as well? I thought he does not have much practical experience? Frankly, I don't really get your point here, mind explaining again blush.gif ?
*
ie on technical terms such as anayltical procedure and such.

no,he does not give much practical knowledge in class-i 'm afraid i delete some chunk of words that makes u dont understand it smile.gif

Michael has a special note that summarise entire P3 syllabus in (70 - 80 pages).
He is teaching the "western style" of lecture which focus on 1 key word & 5 explanation instead of the asian style of 5 key word & 1 explanation.
Heard he is very good in teaching technics / answer methods of P3 to student.
Anyway I always like to try a "Mat Salleh" lecturer at least once in my acca course.........just to experience something new  thumbup.gif

Then I think you will like parmindar class.
My friend who sat for it reported he had 35 class sessions this sitting.
Anyway nobody really like to spend so much of their time in KSA, trust me on this issue  nod.gif
*
yeah ,i know-just that i might join m.m. if his class longer.wonder if he can sum up that muchin 15 classes?
anyway i probably pop in at his revision class.

mat salleh XD

Now Kasturi is not selling different courses books even for students-unless i am mistaken in the matter sad.gif
for eg u r a p2 student only.u want to buy ,say p3.the answer is no,u cant buy it.
i think i go 4 gtg 4 some theory parts.. or bpp since i cant afford the books mentioned.

If i may need to work overseas(sorta of a family issue) in future,which one of the papers should i take ,p4 or p5?
and which lecturer explains theory part the best?
