Finally the exam has ended. While others seems to be glad that it has ended, I am still whining over those careless mistakes that I made in the exam, it's funny how I made those mistakes under exam conditions while I know very well how to answer the questions any other time. I do not mind if I get some questions wrong because I did not know how to answer them but in my case, I knew those questions very well and yet I got them wrong. Somehow, I still couldn't get over them.
To be prudent, I already identified a certain 10 marks to be forfeited from my F7 (Financial Reporting) and F9 ( Financial Management paper).
Here is what I have to say about the 3 subjects I took in the last 6 months.
F7 - Financial Reporting - Ms Shanta
We always joked about how she 'earn commissions' as a lecturer and had a great laugh over it. When she complain of a problem, I would always respond by saying "Your Problem!". She also taught us how to avoid those 'fundamental errors'. Anyhow, F7 is really a tough subject because of the accounting standards that we have to study but in the end, once we understand the standards and the fundamental double entries, the paper would be an easy one. In regards to the exam, this would be the hardest paper of all 3 subjects I took last semester.
F8 - Audit and Assurance - Ms Kiran
This paper was taught by Ms Kiran. During the first few classes, I couldn't help but doze off right despite me sitting right infront of her. We had lots of scoldings from her but in the end, its all for our own benefit. Audit was our first paper, and I guessed audit paper would be the one that gives the highest mark among the 3 papers I took last semester.
F9 - Financial Management - Ms Geetha
I took a brave decision to attempt 4 ACCA papers instead of the normal 3 papers earlier this year. F9 was the additional paper which I took back then. However, I chicken-ed out 2 weeks into the semester and dropped the paper as law and tax was giving me some nightmares. This semester, I took F9 again, following the normal ACCA route. During F9 class, we not only learn about Finance but brushed up our general knowledge as well as Ms Geetha always pops in some random quiz in the midst of her class, it was enjoyable though. I underestimated this paper and did badly in my progress tests, that was when the wake up call came and I really worked very hard to brush up my knowledge. Got to thank Ms Geetha for those 1 to 1 'revision class' during the revision month where I managed to clear most of my doubts.
The past 6 months has flowed real fast, it seems like it was just yesterday when classes first started.
To wrap it up, the December 2009 sittings was filled with surprises. There were some farce during the exam where one candidate sat for the wrong exam (F3 instead of T3) and was given the right questions paper 30 mins into the exam. This reminds me of another blunder in the previous year where a student reached the wrong exam centre and knew about it when the exam started. There is also another case where my friend sat for the wrong variant !
