Another week had lapsed...Classes stories....ACCA issues....

Well, here come another Friday; which implies that we had moved into second weeks of classes. Overall, I think for the class that I had chosen; the delivery of the knowledge seems quite good, with the lecturers of being capable of talking for hours. As for us as students down there, I think every single person is trying hard to translate and disgest what are being delivered to us in ours' mother language.

ACCA qualification and CAT qualification do differ quite significantly in terms of the in depth knowledge that is being expected from the examiners. No doubt that CAT shall built a strong foundation and layout for the progression over to ACCA, but then if this foundation is not strong enough, harsh time really come along, particularly on the three options papers that are available for CAT: Audit, Taxation & Financial management, which built a solid foundation for ACCA skills modules. Obviously, those who had undergone those materials covered in those 3 papers mentioned would have a good starting points for the corresponding papers in ACCA Skills; otherwise for those proceeds from ACCA knowledge modules directly, they shall be having really a hard time for it. You would think something like this: "What the hell is the lecturer talking about?" This is especially true when the syllabus areas are so wide that we need to rush after the limited lecturing hours, for instance Taxation.

Thus, although I had taken quite a "long" time for me to officially completed my CAT qualification; with what I am having now, I do think that building a solid layout first is rather a better choice when compared to having direct entrance to ACCA qualification.

F4 is really like hell, 28 chapters with lots of legal items, Statues, Laws and etc...far more boring then the history subject that we had during high schools days...it do requires much more memorising powers then any other papers....anyhow, after going through, you do gain some legal knowledge; which is quite good in practice, I think. But then, when it comes to memory; this really sounds bads....
And yet there are bulks and chunks of facts to pick, with all legal terms inside.
It will be even tougher for those with poor English command...seriously, this is as "bad" as Paper T5 in CAT: Managing People and System, where all are theories-based questions....clowds are arising when it comes to memorising power...I do hate "dead memory" or better phrase it as "forced memory"...what I am more happy with is "natural memory"...

As for F6, initially I didnt expect to take it for this semester as to me; two laws papers is a heavy load. But then the admin doesnt really allows as timetable might crash...so end up taking ACCA papers in sequences as prescribed by ACCA....

Well, abviously, the lecturer do well-prepared for her lessons; making her very best to drawn up some nice charts and graphical notes for the students to grasp every pieces of Taxation principles more easily from a well-converse tax refrences on the market...as mentioned...I do thankfully saying that I did pass through this whole process during CAT 9, at least there are still something inside my head (I meant at least I still know what Taxation is all about...and knowing how much in depth will we be expected to know); thus still being able to get what the lecturer talks about when she is instead on the "flying mode"...Someone requested for slower speed, but she claimed that if that happens, we would required much more slots, which is fairly true....taxation chapters are a lots....almost the same as F4, just that F4 is rigid; this is more practical...haha....

F5 is costing which is used to be my favourite subject during CAT times...so far she only covered introduction and MC & AC...nothing much new yet....see what's will be going on next week...it's looks like repeatition from CAT course...I think we didnt start even a single new things for F5....see how....and see whether it would still remain my favourite areas for the ACCA qualification or not....

Anyway, since two weeks add/drop subjects period is almost due and everything shall be made final with regards to subjects taken and class groupings (rather lecturers choosing); it officially marks that the "honeymoon" periods shall end and lecturers had told us as students that we all shall be going full swing mode very vey soon...
With the "magical" words, it would meant that the "torturing" processes would begin by then ---- rushing every contents of the syllabus, doing tutorials, reading materials, grasping every important parts of the exams, Tests and mock exams, Revision courses....and finally sitting in ACCA exams hall in due of Dec....All within 5 months periods of time....

With that, that's all for now.

Bye bye.
