#IV2 Program Professional Akauntan Muda A (Yayasan Peneraju)

Peace be upon you dear readers that i barely know haha ;)

About a week ago, i went to another assessment test + interview session.
This time it was for the Program Professional Akauntan Muda (PPAM) [Kategori A] under Yayasan Peneraju.

If you would like to get some info about this program, you could google it simply (i'm bff with the google. I google EVERYTHING hahaha) or you guys can hop to this blog
I read the blog before i went to mine. The owner (farhanah, hi hi hehe) wrote a lil bit of an intro about this program. I'm not reaallly in the mood to do so. maafkan patik 

Alright so this interview thingy consists of 3 things; English test, Mathematics test and the big part that everyone including myself are worried about, the interview.

As soon as you get into the INTEC Library, you'll have to register your name and take your panel number (it's for your interview afterwards) and go into this small seminar room. Sit down, have a chat with other people and keep calm. Hehe i had this very content feeling, knowing that everyone in that room are going to be, sooner or later, an accountant, insyaAllah kalau depa memang minatlah hahaha. But it freaks me out too, knowing that they are all my opponents. I heard some of the boys talking something like: "Where are you from? SBP or normal school?" I was like-- whatttt bruhhh. You don't ask someone liddat. Kinda harsh you know. What normal school? Heh

Oh in that room you will be hearing a short brief about the whole process of that day. Right after that, you will asked to go to the other side of the library, which is like a computer lab or something? Haaa you gonna take the tests in there.

OMG THE TESTS (for me lah at least) easy peasy lemon squeezy!
But, you need to be extra careful. Especially for the English test. It's similar to the SPM paper really. They give you 25 questions, consisting of passages and you have to answer the questions based on the extract. Like comprehension.

Senang senang pun, i dapat sikit je hah. Malu lak. Jangan over confident adik adik hahaha
The maths test on the other side, i nailed it! Senang guys, don't worry. Cuma soalan last tu pasal addmaths haa so get ready.
(I have the confident to say it's easy because they give you the marks right away hehehe so you will know how much you've done)

Once you finish both of the tests, it's break time. So go get some food and fresh air. There's a cafe near the library. (Directions: Turn right after you exit the library. Then, walk across the main road and you'll see some tables and chairs. The cafe's there. You're welcome haha)

Around 12:30-ish, get yourselves to Block VW, and over there is where the interview war will begin. Dupdapdupdap But there will be a briefing about Yayasan Peneraju first. For you and your parents especially.

THEN, AFTER THAT YOU WILL BE GOING TO WAR. HAHAHA
AND THE REST IS HISTORY!
I'm kinda dissapointed at myself after sitting for that interview.
So here's some tips i could share, so you guys won't do the same mistakes as i did.

1. Prepare yourself mentally
If you're like me, a sensitive gal eheh, please pleaseee be strong for that day. If you get a laid back panel, that's fine. But i got myself a kinda strict one. Geez. They really just want to provoke you to see whether you're confident of yourself or not. But i failed at that. Oh man, thinking about it makes me feel so.....

2. Prep yourself with notes
So you won't lose your words. like i did ahah

3. Do your research
Read about CAT and ACCA and ask yourself why do you want to take CAT and ACCA. Ask and have a answer prepared of course hahah don't just ask yourself hahahaha
i read a little, so i kinda died in there -___-

4.Speak english fully
Just try okay guys?

5. Pray and pray and pray
<3 <3 <3 

Oh btw the interview is not that difficult. They just want to know about yourself and why do you want to pursue in CAT/ACCA. Oh and bring your file of achievements along (i didn't though. I never knew i had too LOL) because maybe the panels want to take a look at your certificates.

As soon as you step out of the room, you can go home.
The End :)

Good luck xx

Lotsa love,

#IV1 PNB SCHOLARSHIP 2016 ((SPM 2015))

Hi readers, peace be upon you :)

It's finally that phase. The phase of going to interviews and tests, to determine your future.

Lol okay not your future, that's way toooo big. Emm, maybe to get a picture of your future?

Well i guess i can say so.

So it's been a month and five days since the SPM result came out. And Alhamdulillah, I got an email from PNB, one of the scholarship i applied as a respond from my application saying that I have to sit for a written test all awaaay in Penang.

And of course i had to go. Ikutkan hati mana nak pergi huahua but you know, ikut hati, mati. 

But i selalu ikut cakap hati, macam mana? Hahaha haih okay BACK TO THE MAIN THING.

My test was scheduled at 11.30 am but i came early with my mum. When i say early, i mean like 7.00 am. We took the train, that's why. Hours pass by, skip all the waiting and boredom and anxiousness, and my time has come to enter the hall. 

To make it clear, there are 3 sets of questions you have to answer, all in 20 minutes. 

So 20minutes x 3 = 1 hour+ briefing = 1 hour and a half

1. Verbal Reasoning ( i think this is the name of the paper, don't quite remember )

This test is kinda like an English test. But it's more than that. They want you to think. Like critical thinking hahaha agak agak dah 4 bulan tak sekolah, macam mana la nasib *cries* 

They give you passages, and for each passage, there are 2,3 questions. Oh, btw it's a MCQ paper. So there will be options-- A B and C. No worries :) I can't say much, you have to look at the paper yourself, or go on google and checkout the format. You could also do the test, to test your power hehehe 

2. Numerical Reasoning [18 questions in 20 minutes]

Literally, it's mathematics. So get your guns out, and be prepared.

 It's mathematics but with a sprinkle of economic, business related questions. Siapa ambik ekonomi asas dulu, ada advantage la sikit. SIKIT JE. Yang penting kena faham soalan nak apa, because it's all in english and i've been learning maths in BM for the past two years. But you'll do well. You can do some revision too, online. Just hit the google site, okay? 

3.Diagrammatic something something  (sorry, i barely know it's name, my bad!)

This test, is like the aptitude test we all took back in 2010 { UPSR } they give you shapes, and you have to determine which goes next in the sequence. That's all. 

And that's a wrap. You can go home right after you finish the test. Next stage = INTERVIEW!

Wish me luck xx

Lotsa love,

P/S: I have another test+interview next week. For Yayasan Peneraju :) Will blog it too insyaAllah
