thanks
thank you so much opentuition for the flashcards. i wrote out all the questions and use it as a rapid round question session with my friends. very helpful during that last month of revision when you need a change of scene from all the notes and written exam questions!
Some answers do not fit the window, so cannot be viewed completely (e.g. question on EBITDA) or even completely empty.
Try another browser
The flash cards are good, they help in building one’s memory faster
Every important definition is easily remembered.
But could it be possible for Open tuition to make it possible for us to download the flash cards? Some of us have poor internet services and at time the internet does not come on for several days
Like it was replied many times – these flashcards are interactive, and not for download,
you can download and print course notes – and learn from there..
and if you have internet problems, well, the best way to learn/memorise, you can create your own flashcards that suite your own needs
How come most of them looks like P3, I mean the majority of the question is for P3, but not P5, although they are inter-related. Hopefully can see more question on P5-based. Thank you admin!
