P3 in Dublin ACCA

Brad1234

Hi,

I am a new member and have to re sit p3. Pretty gutted as i felt i had done really well in the exam. Any way i know the format is changing for p3 for this term. So can anyone tell me which is the best lecturer to go to be much appreciated.

I just want to start again with it.

Also any information on which would be best to sit with it.. I have p2 to sit and two optional ones which are p7 and p6 as im in a practice so not worth my while doing the others.

All help will be greatly appreciated.

Hi Brad

I did P3 in Drogheda with Gerry Butler, and P6 in Drogheda with Alan Collins. I passed on both first time.

Eamonn Staunton does P6 in Griffith, He's very good. I sat P6 last time and I'm waiting on results today, its my last one....still heard nothing and the site is down. Did you get results today?

Thanks Trophy wife.

Yes i got mine by email this morning by email. However this is for Dublin area only as drogheda is to far for me to drive.

If you know anything about Dublin be greatly appreciated..

Lots of hassle on the ACCA forum on facebook people are going crazy over not being able to assess results

Hi Brad
I think you have to sit P3 and P2 before you go onto the options. Helps to make your decision easy, you are better off studying P2 with a theory paper anyway as it takes a savage amount of work

not quite, you have to have done or be doing them in the same sitting.

So for example if you have P1 and P2 done, you cannot do P4/5/6/7 unless you are sitting P3 in the same session or have already passed it.

i didnt think that was the case anymore.

The reason i dont want to do p2 and p3 is they are one day after the other.. So i will be bet doing p3. So thats why i was thinking p6 (tax) and p3

I can definitely recommend Reidin Ni Aonghusa in Griffith College. I passed P3 with 74 points last June and I think she has very good approach to the Paper.

So basically i have to do p2 and p3 before i can go on and do the optional ones

Trophywife

Yes but if you do those two, you can do one/two more aswell...probably be a bit much though...you'd have no life for 3 months!!

The two days in a row thing happened my and what I did was registered for P1 and P3 and P7 (the exams) and just sit P1 & P7 and was marked absent for P3 that time!! U just have to pay the exam fee which u wont get back.

Cannot recommend Owen O'Reilly in BPP highly enough.

Different approach to the class and I got through P3 first time out in the December 2009 sitting.

Hi Brad, as has been mentioned, if you really don't want to do P2 and P3 together, the way around it is to register for both, plus one option. Then only sit two of the exams. This is only an option if you are willing to pay for an exam that you don't plan to sit.

I did this in the December exams - actually got a shock this morning when I saw an "absent" in the middle of my results - had completely forgotten that I had registered for an exam I didn't sit!

I also recommend Independent Colleges for P3 and I will be going there for P2 this time. Maybe see you there! :pac:

I'd also recommend Owen O'Reilly in BPP. He has an interesting style and is very exam focused.
Also might be worth looking at the cost of the courses as some of the colleges are offering discounts if you take more than one course. Might be an issue if you have to pay for the exams yourself.

Brad - the above is what you will need to do.

If you try to register online for say P3 and P7 without completing P2, you won't be able to do so. I found this out the hard way and just ended up paying for the exam and not sitting it.

I would say though that there is no harm in trying to register for just the two you want, see what happens. If you can't then you'll have to stump up the extra cash to do the ones you want.

You can do P3 without having done P2 or being registered for it.

I did that.

Its only P4-7 that you need to have P1-3 done or doing

Owen o'reilly is brilliant for P3 - was at BPP - but has moved I think to City Colleges. Passed first time very good notes and an enjoyable class.:pac:

DBS:

P2 is Gerry Fahey - in all sincere Honesty he is GOD for F7 and P2. Everyone in class always raves about him and the awards he has received over the years in terms of 1st's etc. is astounding and has even been nominated several times for lecturer of the year by the accountancy body. :eek:

P3: haven't taken it yet but another student in class was not at all impressed by DBS's lecturer.

I went to Independent for P3 and wasn't impressed by the lecturer at all. He always got sidetracked by talking about himself (it was his way of giving examples) but I just found it a waste of time. Half the time, I went home early and I only went to the first half of the revision and did the rest myself with books.

To be 100% honest, I suggest a self-study for P3 but you will have to be very disciplined cuz P3 is a broad and very boring subject. I'd say stay away from Independent.
