    Hiya I thought question 1 was tough I didn't do very well on that one. What did you make of it? I did q3 and q4 and thought they were ok just very tight for time

    Hi . I thought it was tough alright. Totally confused with Q1 as any ques I have done are from seller point of view. I did Q4 & 5 which were doable but like you tight for time. Q2 was not good at all...had done nothing on Revenue audit - only just knew basic dates.

    Wish I could see the answers...

    I know how ya feel im fecked! My car broke down on way to exam today too and I nearly didn't make it in on time. Think all the stress has me wrecked! Do you have any exams to do in dec if you pass these? P2 is a tough one with all the
    Ias to learn but its manageable. I did it in December and got it first time so fingers crossed you will fly through it. Its on Tuesday isn't it?

    That's all ya feckin needed was your car to break down on morning of an exam. If it had only held out till u were on your way home!

    Yeah P2 is on Tues. Still got one option to do.
    Lets hope we scrape a pass in all them this sitting. Can't imagine doing 3 in one go.

    Best of luck with P1 on Wed and take the bus!

    Difficult exam this year.
    Q1 was an awful thing.

    I'd say i got just below 50% unfortunately, oh well.

    Yeah its so hard to get all written in the time isnt it especially if you have to stop and think about different treatments. I really messed up on q1 too my answer was all over the place.

    Passed P1 and P7 but failed P6. :( At least I only have one left to do, should be easier to manage rather than three at a time anyway!

    Griffith college has two different lecturers for F6 depending on whether you go to the main campus, or Tara St. I heard that Dermot Madden has a good reputation, but I haven't seen any comments on the lecturer in Tara St - anyone here able to give me any advice? - F6 is €750 at main campus as opposed to €500 in the smaller one.

    Any advice on good lectures in Limerick or Cork for P4, P5 or P6?

    I passed P7 in June and don't have a clue what option to do next, basically, if there's a good lecturer i'll do it!

    Could anyone recommend a lecturer in Dublin for P6?
    I am thinking of Sandra Gleeson in Independent Colleges simply because i usually do my courses there. Is she any good?
    or does anyone have any other recommendations?
    Thanks!

    accaq I would recommend Mel Kilkenny in City Colleges.
    Unfortunately i failed the June paper but i put it down to the question 1 which wasted a huge amount of my time.
    I had the knowledge but just couldn't apply it to the question.

    Mel is a brilliant lecturer and so approachable at any time.
    I did the lectures online which suited me and then went into class for the Revision weekend.

    Ya I've heard great things about Mel but his revision weekend is the weekend before the exams! I'm a crammer and usually start studying as soon as the revision course is over so that doesn't leave me much time!!
    Have you heard anything about David O'Donovan for P4? He also does f9 in Griffith in Limerick

    tbh I wouldn't be capable of cramming for the acca taxation papers. That study style never really suited me, I'm envious of people who can do it though. :D

    Mel is a great lecturer. I had him for f6. I'm based in Galway and when I sit p6 next June I will travel to Dublin for his lecturers. He makes it so interesting and straight forward.
