Teo Loi Pin, top scorer in Malaysia and eighth in the World in Paper P1 Governance, Risk, and Ethics in the ACCA December 2017 examinations.
TAR UC’s students never fail to impress academically, and this rings true especially in the regular ACCA examinations. Teo Loi Pin is one of the latest examples having aced the Paper P1 Governance, Risk, and Ethics by emerging Top in Malaysia and eighth in the World in the ACCA December 2017 examinations.
Loi Pin, who is studying the Bachelor of Commerce (Hons) programme, never expected to attain such a result, but credited it to sheer effort and hard work.
“Time management was my biggest challenge at the beginning as I had to pay attention to all my subjects on top of the preparation for the examination. But by working out a realistic schedule and having regular revision sessions, I made sure to stay on track and on top of my studies.”
On his experience as a TAR UC student, Loi Pin said, “TAR UC has a very conducive learning environment which offers a positive learning experience. The assessment system helps me to identify areas for improvement regularly and constantly motivates me to do better. Plus, the library which I frequently go to has ample research materials readily available so I can focus on my studies. Credits should also go to my lecturers and tutors at TAR UC for always helping us learn effectively by explaining concepts through the use of relevant examples and case studies.”
When asked about his future plans, Loi Pin insisted that he wants to focus on what’s important now, namely his studies.
“I will only think about my career after completing my studies. But this achievement will definitely open doors for me in the future. I also have a clearer picture of which career path I would want to take after this experience. Ideally, I would want to obtain the ACCA qualification, build a solid career in the accounting field and eventually become a member of the Malaysian Institute of Accountants (‘MIA’).
In order to realise his dreams, Loi Pin has set some personal goals to further improve himself.
“I will always try to improve my communication skills. Soft skills are very highly valued by employers in this day and age.”
