It has come to my attention that most of the students seems to be asking questions about what they had studied only after the final revision (which usually focuses on questions practice) rather than full blow studies.
This indicates that most of the students are only really studying last minute - is this a generational effect or the norm of the ACCA/CAT student? I would suppose that it is a norm, but you can comment on this.
There is a study approach which has been used by other certification programmes - like SAP or ORACLE, which crams everything for the exam (0 to 100%) in say 7 - 16 days 8 hours class just before the exam. This seems to be in alignment with the current mentality of the students that take the examination - fast certification. Do you think that this is feasible within the ACCA or CAT tuition market?
Comment on this matter - since I am thinking of creating this crash courses for ACCA/CAT students.
A pilot test was done for P7 ACCA last round, where the classes only started after the results, and students had sessions over a 2 month period - which it seems to have worked so far.
Do you think say 64 hours of classes + 18 hours of revision (8 days of 8 hours + 3 days of 9 hours) is more than enough?
Well for F8/P7 if you think that is ok, comment here and I will arrange a class in KL or in Shah Alam.
Your views on this matter is appreciated.
I will be posting my view of the JUNE 2010 papers soon after the real exam papers have been released by ACCA
Overall comments that I can make for now
P7 - was a doable paper and designed for this level of knowledge
F8 - was a doable paper with most of the matters coming from within the syllabus (technically challenging)
T8 - was doable but I believe that paper was set a bit on the harder side
Most of the students that had a hard time are those that did not study the whole syllabus but rather spot only and had not fully grasp the paper
