Planning to take p2 and 3 in June, p1 self study for March paper. Feasible?

for myself, it is feasible. for you, i don't know what are your circumstances such as full / part time job, girlfriend / boyfriend, how much time left for studies.

but it is definitely feasible, unless you say P1 P2 in Mar and P3 P4 in June, then it will be a challenge !

Thanks, I might give it a try!

Anyway anyone went for Oxford Brooks degree, I'm not sure if I should go for it. And will I need to sign up for mentorship?

Any advice for Sami or Chow Kim Tai for P4? I read the older posts here that Sami is good in calculation but not that good in theory while Mr Chow Kim Tai is good in both.

Let me contribute my fair share of experiences having been through almost all the financial reporting lecturers.

(Relevant to P2, F7 and F2)

This is just my opinion. Take it with a pinch of salt. No discrimination intended.

Sami and James Kwan are kind of same style of lecturer. They teaches higher level stuff and focus lesser on the basics. They try to cover the whole syllabus in details, with very good working template (e.g. they uses a consol template that helps with complex group consol). Double entries given are for complex consolidation, which are final entries. Meaning, they dont spoon feed inbetween elimination entries, gotto make u think and figure out urself.

I suspect they come from same NTU professor cos their consol template seems similar.

Ben Lee is very door next door lecturer. U can ask him any questions and he will try to provide u the solutions. He focus more on the basics (including the starting entries to final entries). His teaching methods allows weaker students to understand the full flow of accounting entries.

I suspect this is due to him being one of the CAT accounting lecturer.

Roy Goh is inbetween the both examples given above.

i personally feel weaker students in accounting entries should join Ben class to trial out.
Those strong with double entries already may want to try Sami class as he teaches very fast, accurately and able to learn all the short cuts.

However, for my case, i took Roy and cleared my F7 F9 P2 and P5 under his care during my ACCA days.

All in all, it really depends on your indiviual learning curve and style then choose the lecturer that best fit u...

Any good lecturer for P5? Tks!!

 

[SG-xLeox]

P5 , my personal advice is read opentuition forum regarding alex watt pattern.

That dude is really damn one kind of marker. U must really learn How to understand his questions to answer correctly.

I feel the lecturer is not so important as most techniques are covered from F5 and P3. There aint really alot of new stuff, its more analysis and pros and cons of techniques we learn before.

I think is if u understand de concept i guess. I took f7 with another lecture in kaplan and p2 with sami. I still pass

hi. i think your lecturer for f7 at kaplan uses schedule method for consolidation. which is the same as what sami uses at lsbf.

for ben lee, he uses old fashion consolidation method which is time consuming and lengthy. i have taken his f2, f3 and f7 class and decided to go ahead with the last p2 paper with him as well since i'm ok with his consolidation method.

my gf took p2 with sami and i realized that i totally don't understand sami's method.

my suggestion is if you started with ben lee, just follow through. he won't make you fail. but you won't achieve high marks either. haha.

chow kim kai saa

if your english and written skills are good, p1 is very manageable. p3 also need some good written and understanding skills. as long as you put in enough time and practice p3, you'll do fine. don't underestimate p3 since its a very lengthy and wordy paper.

good luck.

Thank you all for your replies. In fact for f7 i had help from opentuition as well...not just ben lee's notes. Any idea if opentuition's method is the same as for sami? I wish to change lecturers as i felt that his lessons did not help much...
Or maybe i should sign up for roy goh's class since one of the replies said that his teachings is in between ben lee and sami?
Gahhh thanks all.

i have 3 friends who self studied for P7 but failed on the second attempt again. they have since decided to go for the lessons again and all 3 passed on the 3rd attempt. One of them even scored 72 for P7 but was not a prize winner due to his 3rd attempt.

Suggest you to go for classes if you can afford the course fees and able to make it for classes.

May i ask roughly how much is the course fee for the F papers lessons and the P paper lessons?

it depends on which school. in descending order of course fees,

1) LSBF
2) Kaplan
3) SAA

not sure about FTMS. LSBF seems to be the preferred choice for most of the papers now. don't get me wrong, i took all 14 papers at SAA myself. its equally good but i can't say the same now.

good luck.

Because i am actually planning to worl and go for ACCA classes at the same time, i was wondering if i would have the time after work to go for the classes? Sorry inexperienced here since I am still in the army ending this coming september.

thanks.

f1-f3 full time. was new and didn't know what to expect from the papers. f4 onwards part time since i was working as well. employers didn't help in anyway though. talk to your immediate superior and i'm sure both of you can compromise in different ways.

good luck. cheers.
