Title: BEST Accounting lectures to go to for the Unit 4 Exam?
Post by: eeps on August 29, 2010, 09:03:32 pm
(AS the title reads!)

THE end-of-year exam is approaching and although it still 3 or so months away, I was wondering which LECTURES are the best to go to. I went too a few before the Unit 3 mid-year exam (the VCTA and Vic Uni ones had Neville Box)... they were generally quite good. I went to the VCTA, TSSM and Vic Uni ones. DID anyone go to any that they found were useful/helpful?..

Cheers. :)

The Anthony Simmons lectures (author of Cambridge textbook) are rated very highly .... http://www.accesseducation.com.au/Events.aspx?ID=494.

VCTA was average. Vicki spoke way to fast, neville was exceptional and sasha was...? Notes were good though. Notes were detailed and basic in a sense.
VIC UNI was good only cause boxy was presenting. Notes were helpful but not extraordinary

in all, i guess hearing stuff from experienced people high up in the ranks was what really helped

Does Anthony Simmons planning another lecture other than in Access Education? I can't believe they only offer lectures in the evening.  :-\

I went to the Access education one i think. The one with Vicki Baron and Anthony Simmons.  Honestly, they weren't so great.

I also went to the Victoria Uni one (Free one) with Neville Box, that was better than the one i paid for?!?!

the VATC one was pretty cool. Although Vicki was going fast and didn't do the balance day adjustment part... but it was detailed and i  actually liked the fast pace. Boxy was good as usual, and Sasha was more like a psychologist.

I might go to the free one this year if Boxy is the lecturer.

Yeah... I went to the VATC VCTA one as well... I agree, Vicki spoke to fast... ==' couldn't write everything down in time.

Correction it is VCTA (Vic Commercial Teachers Association) not VATC.
Here is the link to the lecture  http://www.vcta.asn.au/foryourstudents/student-lectures

I'm off to the VCTA lecture for Unit 4 as well. Went to Unit 3 but was a bit disappointed. Thankfully Sasha whats-her-name is not presenting this time 'round. No offence intended to anyone who found her presentation useful (though I do question your sanity :P; jokes!).

I going to the TSFX and the Vic Uni one, thus far... possibly VCTA. I might book to go to more lectures if needed. How many lectures are people planning to go to?
Title: Re: BEST Accounting lectures to go to for the Unit 4 Exam?
Post by: nabbiechan on September 05, 2010, 02:01:15 pm
I'm only going to 2 lectures. I think it's better if you have more time on practicing exam papers yourself than listen to lectures that sometimes say the same things.
Title: Re: BEST Accounting lectures to go to for the Unit 4 Exam?
Post by: eeps on September 05, 2010, 02:06:32 pm
Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. Although we've been told it's better to hear from lecturers/teachers/exam-markers besides your own teacher. Not all lecturers say the same thing do they? the ones that I went in mid-year had different things to say... but yeah, I agree that doing EXAM papers is the most important aspect of revision.

Post by: nabbiechan on September 05, 2010, 03:26:58 pm
^I've also been told that it's better to hear it from other lecturers too, I do agree. Although I also do consider going only to the lectures that are worth going into because of the budget I have and also, I want to do more self study. I have a problem with going to lectures and getting all these notes then when it comes to revision I have a whole stack of notes  -- and I don't have enough time to get through them all.

I guess it will have to depend on our needs.

I'm going to the TSFX for Accounting as well, if that's what you mean... I'm hoping they give GOOD NOTES out... I paid a fair amount of money!

LOL. Didn't go to any, yet still managed 40... :P

I'm thinking of going to Anthony Simmons (he wrote the Cambridge Units 3 & 4 Textbook) - I think that's the one being held at Monash University.

Haha yeah i probably should have though, could have boosted my SS if i knew how important it was.

But i guess bottom line is, studying yourself and practicing isnt so bad, especially for accounting, where i believe high marks come from lots of practice and thorough understanding.
