Hello everyone,<BR>Am new to FTC n AAT, so any tips would be good, am a 'mature' student, so tips on how to get back into studying would be great, keeping concentration etc!

Hiya Georgiegirl,<BR><BR>I reckon the best tip I could give ya is don't leave things till the last minute. I did in Foundation/ Inter years and ended up rushing things which is never good.<BR><BR>Things like the Portfolio/ MAS Project take a lot of time to put together. Whenever you've got a spare half hour try and do a bit, it's surprising how far you can get like this as opposed to leaving it until the last minute.<BR><BR>Concentration's a difficult one coz the subject matter's mostly real boring! Giving yourself rewards usually works but you got to be disciplined enough to put the graft in.<BR><BR>Good luck, before you know it you'll be finishing AAT and well into 'study mode'!<BR><BR>Pete.

I'm 36 years old and just started studying for AAT foundation through distance learning with FTC I agree with Pete, you have to try and do as much as you can when you can, I too have left things too late on occasion and had to rush them to get them done in time, I now try to dedicate time to the course on a daily basis, but the bulk is still done on Sundays as this is really the only day I have free.<BR><BR>I have found the people at FTC to be very helpful whenever I have needed help and or advice and this message board has also helped a lot too.<BR><BR>Hope this helped in some way, and good luck with your studies.<BR><BR>Nick
