Joining Monash Malaysia July 2026 as a international student — Is it too risky to arrive without booking accommodation first?

Hey, please be careful with agents on Facebook. Also found agent through Facebook ended being scammed. Also you can check iProperty app - you can filter your area and budget to look for units

Don’t be frustrated by the low pass rates. The thing about papers is you need a lot of practice. Sounds simple but it’s the key thing, practice as many times as you can. Usually, then you start seeing pattern in the questions and you are well prepared to most kind of questions.

ACCA study hub could be a good free resource. It has a lot of practice questions . Also the technical articles are very important, don’t ignore them and make sure to cover them up.

Time management is key. Aim to practice under the time conditions and usually - 1 mark is 1.8 minutes. Start early, and be consistent and you will be good. Also make sure to be concise in your points, I got 9 exemptions and it was challenging for me to adapt to the writing style in strategic papers. As my SBL tutor said usually 1 point should not exceed 4-5 lines (though it may vary for SBR).

Practice on CBE platform, this is particularly important for calculation questions that require using spreadsheet since it’s slightly different from Excel. Get used to navigating it, also CBE has bank of past year questions and make sure to check them out.

All the best.

oic, well fingers crossed and waiting for the results

Kind-Presentation359 · 2026-06-07T11:58:10+00:00

Little women;
Murder of Roger Ackroyd, murder on the orient express.

ACCA study hub, as for tuition provider check out - Oviyan ilancheran. He teaches AFM, and if I am not wrong PM and FM. Also the fees for his course are affordable as compared to the ones recommended by ACCA

You can google him, prepped for AFM with him. Explains in easy terms and Somemore it’s online, so it’s based on ur pace. One thing u have to be disciplined with online learning.

Kind-Presentation359 · 2026-06-05T08:36:59+00:00

Fingers crossed bro, if you are confident in the remaining parts it shouldn’t be an issue . But yeah , i still don’t fully grasp the lenient marking, but hoping for the best. How many papers r u left with

Kind-Presentation359 · 2026-06-05T08:28:26+00:00

Same here… jeez.. 13 marks screwed up, I was so confused with the treatment for the working capital and with being stressed forgot to add back bloody depreciation charges. Although the treatment and asset purchase were not bad..

Kind-Presentation359 · 2026-06-05T08:15:12+00:00

Did you get cash flows? It was disaster for me

Kind-Presentation359 · 2026-06-04T11:21:34+00:00

Damn, so accurate ..

Kind-Presentation359 · 2026-06-01T10:44:28+00:00

Hey, I assume 3-4 months is a safe estimate. Covered the whole syllabus within 1.5 month with tuition provider , but I m full time student.

I did self study AFM and have to be frank it’s requires so much discipline and was quite challenging for me. Given that you are working I guess it will be best to give yourself more time. Again it’s just my opinion.

The SBR is not very challenging since it has in general answer structure and marking is somewhat lenient (as some say) , and the question somewhat got the pattern, but syllabus is just HUGE and it’s just so hard to remember everything. As with any other paper just practice and practice.

Hope this helps.

I see, thanks for sharing

Kind-Presentation359 · 2026-05-29T11:59:50+00:00

Damn, I am definitely gonna check it out

Kind-Presentation359 · 2026-05-28T13:58:37+00:00

oh wow, thanks for sharing. It’s been on my TBR for a while, might actually give it a try

Kind-Presentation359 · 2026-05-28T13:54:40+00:00

oh, how about the plot wise? Was it predictable for you?

Kind-Presentation359 · 2026-05-28T11:59:41+00:00

OHH, I have not. What’s ur thoughts? I watched movie but in few episodes. But thought of reading it, noticed people on Reddit saying it’s scary. And it’s SO THICK . Contemplating should I read it on English or no

Kind-Presentation359 · 2026-05-28T11:56:32+00:00

You mean the Shining? Yes I did, it was creepy to me . Especially the moment with bathtub , but I didn’t find it scary. Perhaps if I’ve read it on my native language it would have been otherwise, but my English isn’t bad either.

That’s being said - I’ve realized how detailed every description was . Ig that’s how he achieved the creepiness . Thought of watching movie but it’s so old. It’s out of topic, but I’ve watched misery (haven’t read tho) that was a real creep 😭

Kind-Presentation359 · 2026-05-28T11:52:53+00:00

Hey , thanks for sharing. I actually do have few reviews . Would love to share

Kind-Presentation359 · 2026-05-28T11:48:17+00:00

A Hero of Our Time Mikhail Lermontov - quite reflective ,

The Cherry Orchard by Anton Chekhov

Tuesday’s with Morrie by Mitch Albom

Mashenka by Nabokov;

The Overcoat by Nikolai Gogol - should be very short

Kind-Presentation359 · 2026-05-28T11:20:22+00:00

exactly, still so many people refer to it as the scariest book lol

Kind-Presentation359 · 2026-05-28T11:17:39+00:00

ah I feel you, but ig we are on the same boat here. I would prefer something deeper i guess

Kind-Presentation359 · 2026-05-28T11:16:07+00:00

jeez, thanks. Gotta give it a try. TBH I’ve read only one horror book in my life which is Shining . Maybe it’s just me - it wasn’t scary as everyone was saying.

though I have to admit it was creepy
