Miss Chan Yean Peng Interview

Lately PAC Club had finish another interview with another graduate affiliates of ACCA that graduate on December 2011, Miss Chan Yean Peng. She is now the Manager of Accounting Advisory and Outsourcing Service at KPMG Malaysia. She had join KDU University College since July 2009 for several paper including P5 and P7 for December 2011 examination.

There are several reasons that encourage her to choose KDU University College over other colleges, one of the main aspects was the location was near her working place as she was and currently working in KPMG that was located at Bandar Utama. Furthermore, the class size was less than 20 people in a class which she is more comfortable with and easier for interaction between lecturers and students. However, the most important factor to Miss Chan was to have lecturers with commitment and passion in teaching. Lastly, the administrative convenience provided by the admin staff as well as friendly atmosphere makes KDU the preferred choice for her.

As we are studying same course as she does, there is one question that we are always curious about, “How did she go through all the exams and pass the papers as well?”. According to Miss Chan, this is what her answer sounds:

“        After signing up for a class, failure is never an option.  After        all, we do not plan to fail.  We have to change our mindset when attending classes that we are there not for the paper qualifications but most importantly, for the knowledge.  It will be most unlikely that you will find any mentor in the workplace who will readily impart such precious knowledge Always try to understand the reason and logic behind each topic discussed and not merely memorizing it.  This mentality has made my classes more interesting and meaningful.  Knowledge gained this way will stay longer in us and never be afraid to ask the silliest question. The lecturers won’t bite."

Preparation before examination was important to her. She allocates at least 1 week towards the exam date to try out past year questions under exam condition for each paper.  This requires a great deal of self discipline and motivation. Most important key during the exam is time management. Allocate enough time for each section and stop once time is up. 

 A very big thank you to Miss Chan Yean Peng to share with us her tips in studying. Hope this will help us for our future exam which is near... cheers people!!! All the best for JUN examination!
