May The Force Be With You
















Pic 01: "Biggest enemy is the enemy within. Do your Best!" (Obi Wan Kenobi of Clone Wars Season 1 series) Morale: Do what you can, not what you can't

Dear Hard working F8 Candidates,

I received numeorus requests such as:
1. what topics to spot?
2. to conduct lecture again catering to long technical questions
3. to resent answers scripts(?)

I note you are anxious over the coming exams. My best advise is at this advance stage of so close to the exam, concentrate on:

i) understanding exam language say distinguish between Audit Procedures & Assertions on Non Current Assets (Substantive tests & reasons) with Audit Assertions & Procedures on Purchases System (Substantive tests + Test of Controls & reasons)

ii) practice and review the IRC question bank, CBE I, CBE II & CBE III. Classes question bank Part 1 & Part 2. With time constraints, its a challenge to understand all theories, for its not necessary you can answer them. So, work backwards, to understand the answers instead of technical theories.

iii) do "a bit of (logical) thinking" instead of wasting time memorising answers.

iv) make sure you know your ISA Manual handouts.

Its counter-productive that I should answer all technical questions on a last minute basis.

Anyone to demand from you is ONLY your absolute best.

With sincere wishes you perform your optimum in exams,

Marcus Ong - Lecturer.

Dear F8 Candidates,

Exams just hours away. You fought so hard over the many weeks of classes, tutorials etc.

This is it. "Do what you can, not what you can't" Think a bit more on questions' requirements. Watch your time management.

Best wishes.
Marcus

# Marcus ""Do what you can, not what you can't" Remember 2 important rules:"

# Marcus "Rule 1: Think a "bit" (Logcial) more on questions' requirements. NOT give technical correct answers but impractical"

# Marcus "Rule #2: Watch your time management. You are aiming to pass, not impress with long answers in under-weight marks questions. Best wishes. Marcus"

PS: After exams, go and flush out the stress. Catch a movie, a jog, WINDOW shopping, food galore. Anything to get calm the body, spirit and most importantly the mind!

Ha ha. You are scaring me already. I don't need horror pictures.

Pemi Bahl, David Campbell, Steve Skidmore and Lisa Weaver are the most frigtening people to me. They attempt to blocked and scare young people away from progressing in Professional Exams.

Cheers
