I know how you feel.<BR><BR>I passed AAT 3 years ago and am sitting my finals at ACCA in two weeks. The best advice I can give you (in terms of AAT) is to practice as many past questions as you can. Read the AAT magazine for their articles (believe it - if they publish an article relevant to your exam say two/three months before - you can bet there will be a question on the subject).<BR><BR>I've replied to another post on the forum to a student panicking about the exams. I say to you what I've said to them - don't panic you've obviously worked hard and you're already well on your way to a pass. Also, just to boost your pass a bit more - if you get a question that you think is absolutely awful then go for the easy marks. All the questions will have them and if you think that youre writing a load of twoddle then write it down - I did!<BR><BR>GOOD LUCK!! LET ME KNOW HOW YOU GET ON!!<BR><BR>Ste

i just recived the aat acounting magazine in my opionion i think sales leger will come in the exam more likely this june. do you guys think sales ledger or purchase ledger will come in the june exam for foundation level nvq.

[confused!!]

Our tutor last year told us to practise purhase ledger as that was most likely to come up in the December Exam, so i guess it is more likely that it was be sales ledger this time around!!

Good luck

As a word of advice rather than a warning - do not question spot when revising for the exams. The fact that one subject appeared last time round does not mean that it won't appear again. Examiners are all to aware this happens and will trick you.

Get a good broad and basic knowledge of the subject you are studying and you will be fine.

Kind regards

I would say it is impossible to successfully cherry pick topics.

Don't fall into that trap - if something unexpected comes up, you will lose time worrying.

Good luck!

what do u think will come up in june exam will it be sales leger or purcjase ledger

[blobbyh]

I believe we've already answered this above - and I also have in a private message to you a few days ago - and we won't commit to an answer either way since we cannot possibly know for certain. Just make sure you are solid on the principles of double entry and the fundamentals of control accounts where the basic methods are common to both sales and purchases but just opposites of each other.

There's still plenty of time left yet to practice and keep on practicing old exam papers until you have them down perfectly.

Regards,

I will just reiterate what Robert has said. Question spotting is the most dangerous thing you can do when studying and it is not the best way of trying to pass.

I would also comment that looking at so called "tips" are also a complete waste of time. Tips are basically tuition providers means of plotting what has come up in past exams and "spotting" what hasn't appeared. I have sat in excess of 35 exams over the years and can say, with absolute certainty, that the tips have proved to be a total waste of time. Nobody knows what is going to be in the exam - other than the examiner.

One thing I will say, however, is that if an examiner writes an article in the AAT magazine, there is a chance (and I say chance very loosely) that that topic could appear in the sitting you are due to sit.

My advice - get a broad and basic knowledge of the entire syllabus and don't rely on any tips you receive from tuition providers.

Good luck and kind regards

I would recommend looking a the assessors reports for the previous sittings.

If you work through the exam papers first, then check the answers - the assessors report will highlight where previous students have slipped up.

Something they seem to mention every time:

Some candidates fail to read the questions fully.
