Re: What is the best order to study the Level 3 units?
It makes sense, you need first to learn Financial Accounting: Preparation of Financial Statements (FAPS) to be able to understand Tax Processes for Business (TPFB). No offence, but sometimes your comments are more on numbers and not for helping with the required information.

Re: Poor AAT Exam Resources
@amandacavanagh Your post is exactly how I feel. I am certain that many people have been expecting to see questions of a certain format and were disappointed however, I also think that publishers could produce a wider range of tasks - all to often I see recycling of questions.
As Sandyhood mentions, college lecturers are really pushed for time. Our timetables are filled with teaching so we have very little time to prepare a great variety of tasks. I do produce some but, to be honest, also use material from all three publishers to provide a range of tasks.
I don't think AAT should work with publishers to produce questions as AAT (the Awarding Body) should not be seen to be involved like this. However, I am sure the publishers could afford to get their writers to produce a wider range of questions - they charge enough for their books. I do think AAT should review the sample assessments for every unit and maybe amend them to reflect the wording of questions students are facing in the live assessment.
Given the comments I've seen in this thread (and elsewhere) I think a complete review of wording is conducted as a matter of urgency - and not just for MDCL - there are issues with a number of assessments which need to be addressed in the same way.

Re: Green Light VAT Returns Question
In Box 1 is the sales and sales return VAR ONLY
IN box 4 it is the purchases and the purchase returns VAT only
(Take the sales and minus sales return and the same with purchases). Box 4 includes bad debt relief
And then box 5 will be the sales subtract the purchases. (VAT only). If sales bigger it is due but if purchases are bigger than HMRC have to pay the business back.
Hope that helps.

Re: Thinking of Studying
it is hard to get back into studying but it is also worth trying. Once you grasp level 2 it set the foundation for everything else. So all i can recommend is do it. The exams in level 2 are all computer base with getting your results within 20 minutes of finishing the test. Just find a course provider that matches your learning style and you be fine.
Thinking of Studying
Hi,
I currently work in Payroll and looking to upskill in Accounts. I am wanting to start with my AAT level 2 in accounting. I have not studied much or taken any exams in around 6 years so I am very nervous to take the next step of starting.
Does anyone have any tips/advice about what to expect in the Level 2 in regards to taking exams etc...
