Hello all
Has anyone ever sat and passed 4 exams all taken in one week?
I have Unit 11, 33, 18 & 19 left to do - already entered exams for Unit 11 & 33 for Dec 09.
Has anyone dared to enter 4 and passed????

A girl on my course a couple of years ago did Intermediate Sep to Dec and then Technician Jan-June, both levels within the same college year. She was also a single mother so that must have been some fricking workload.
Her eventual ambition was to be a tax barrister for the HMRC, kinda proving that no-ones perfect.0 -
No not four I did 3 @ Technician - business tax , pcr & pev in one week... didn't find it too bad I would say its posssible if you are going to put the work in right through the term and not rely on last minute cramming0

I plan on taking 4 exams in Dec. Not sure why I am so adamant but think I want to get it all done and then I can do my project and either a skills tests or take PT in July.
I start back at college tonight, I know it will be hard graft studying and working full time but I am willing to put the work in0 -
I have already booked in for 2 exams (DFS & MAC), but I am tempted to go for 4 also! (the 2 tax exams).
Then do my Unit 10 project during the rest of December / January 2010.
I have until the end of October to book in for the tax exams, so I will see later on how i am feeling.
Good luck with your 4 in December.0 -

I agree with that...its not something that i would want to do...but when you think an exam is simply confirmation of what you have already learnt then as long as you have been learning you should do ok.
I wouldnt like the stress levels though... i like my fun to much

I sat PEV, BTC, DFS and PCR in the same exam week and passed the lot first time.
It's a pretty hard task but acheivable.

I did four Technician exams (PEV, PCR, DFS, BTC) in June and I passed.
Don't mean to sound big headed.
I have to admit it was hard and I was stressed about them, I also got very little sleep that week. But it did pay off.0 -
Big heid

I did four technician exams last December - 11, 33, 18 and 19. and passed all four. As others have said, it takes a lot of work, but is achievable. I did mine by distance learning if that makes any dirfference to you, and also did my project during the same time as I was studying - it gave me a nice break !!

I'm studying via distance learning also - I think I'm definatley going to go for 3 exams in December. I'll let you know if I'm brave enough to enter the 4th!0

I'm studying intermediate level by distance learning and especially with this being my first time back to studying since school I'm worrying about 2 exams in December, but 4 in a week !!!
That's going some, no disrespect to the college students, but studying and doing 4 exams in one week by distance learning....
I salute you0 -
yes
I did
technician level 3 exam dfs,pev,btc
payroll level 2 exam dnp0 -
Hi,
Yes I sat four exams in one week last summer and passed 3.5 of them. It's hard work revising for four. Good luck with yours tho!0 -
4 papers at once
Yes - I passed PCR, PEV, DFS and PTC at the June 09 sitting. I'm aged 50 and did it via distance learning on the NVQ route BUT I was only working 3 days a week so had the time.
For me it was really hard work and the only advice I would give is that you need to spend the time and do every past paper you can lay your hands on again and again and again.
Good luck to anybody doing it, if I can anybody can.0 -
Ok a week left before the door shuts on the next exam sitting... how many exams have you all entered for. I'm still currently doing 2, but still thinking of a last minute entry for a third.0
-
I only did 3 at once: DFS, PTC and BTC in summer 07. Some of my coursemates did do PEV or PCR (maybe even both), but they were resits because they didn't pass in the winter sitting. I think the exam season is even arranged so there are no clashes.0
-
I've now been made redundant so have more time to put into study. I'm doing 5 exams now, one each morning for the week.0
-
1 exam for me!
0 -
I'm doing 2 again; and then hopefully the final 2 in June!0

(I finished the AAT, graduated from uni so now I'm on a break from studying before doing two CIMA exams in May)0 -

l had resits in December last year PEV, DFS,BTC and CYE and I passed 3 of the exams.
Unfortunately, I only passed the first section of DFS, so had to resit DFS in June and managed to pass.
I wish everyone who is sitting exams in December good luck.0 -
I think it can be done. I myself only ever did three in a week at AAT. I din't fail any and didn't find the workload too much. Everyone is different though and it depends how well things go in for you I suppose.
I myself am quite lucky I suppose as I tend to remember just from learning and class and never really did any revision.
I did go on to start ACCA and took four at my first sitting. I passed three. I then stopped as I wanted to build my own practice and didn't feel ACCA was offering me anything extra.
Best of luck with everything. I would say just take on what you feel comfortable with.Regards,

Thanks but not at all how it was meant.
It was more from the point of view that it can be done with effort!
I'm just lucky enough that I can remember things from class and don't really have to revisit things.
I completely understand that some people don't work like this and appreciate all the effort that many of you put it.
It's good to push yourself and go for as many as you can, but don't try to rush and fail by taking more than you can handle.
Sorry i I wasn't clear earlier and sounding like I was bragging.Regards,
