    Brain dead, thats me too. and it makes me feel real stupid. i enjoyed FRA, passed it, enjoyed prof ethics, passed it, come to cash managemet and cred control and fell apart, i done a resit and im scared of the results although i studyed so hard, i even recorded my own voice on my mp3 an played it over and over. i now have to catch up on costing, and being a mother with four kids is real hard, thats not an excuse. I have litterally had brain shock and i feel i need to reset my brain. i took a day off college and now i have to catch up more so. cant wait till term. im going to book a holiday for real. This has put me off diploma level but deep inside i dont want to waste this opportunity if i pass intermediate. if i take a year out i may forget all ive done. stressed!

    Well done on passing your FRA! I am struggling with that. I havent even started on Costing or Credit Control have organised my timetable to tackle those two in the second half of the year. I have found FRA a shock to the system after doing IAC last year. I have been trying to master the bits in FRA that I have struggled with and think my brain has now switched off (or burnt out)

    Funny thing is ive felt the exact same ever since i did NVQ in computerised accounts and bookeeping, but am now (i say lightly) starting to do ok on ECR so one more year and i have the AAT i think you need to think the same.

    I know for a fact if i stopped now for a year out i would find it impossible to get back in to it.

    The other 2 are Preparing reports and filling out a VAT return, then another about Health and Safety at work, dealing with people, planning timetables etc. Looking at the practice papers, it appears that the first 2 sections - reports and sage are done during the allocated time and then the third section for H&S is a one month project which you do in your own time.

    I havnt picked up a single book this week, i swore to rest my head. i feel like i can come back now but im trying not to think that i may be behind cuz thatll panick me. so im starting a fresh this week, thats if ive passed my CCMC resit. well ive booked a holiday, that cheered me up for a day. i now its no consolation but its reassuring to know that im not the only one feeling this way. thanks guys. i really hope we all do well.
