PCR Help

HayleyM

Hi people,

Can anyone help me with my PCR revision. I really don't know where to start. I have done a couple of exam papers and I seem to be doing ok. I feel like it is one of those exams that you can't really revise for because you either know it or you don't. This does not help my confidence! As unless I do some revision for this I will adopt the attitude that I will fail - and that is not good!!
My biggest problem is that I don't know WHAT to revise for this unit. Does anyone have a sort of checklist of things to revise? So that I can revise each thing and tick it off once I know it.
My tutor for PTC supplied us with one and it has really helped me. But my PCR tutor has said she doesn't do them!

Thanks in advance!!

Hi,
In my revision notes there's the following list:
- Operating Budgets
- Redrafted operating budgets
- Subcontracting/agency staff
- Flexed budget statement
- Report on flexed budget
- Forecasting Sales
- Departmental Budgetw
- Rolling Budgets
- Computer generated models
- Investigating variances and significance
- Motivating Managers
- Capital Budgets

And our chapter titles are:
- Time series analysis
- Budgetary Planning
- Budgetary Control

I don't know whether this helps? I'll just be working through these along with past papers! Good luck!

Hi,
Thanks for all of that! It is a massive help. My exam nerves are really settling in now and I don't think I have ever been this nervous before any exams before!! I have even managed to make myself ill through worrying about it!! I just don't seem to be gettin anywhere with any revision, i feel like I just have to turn up on the day and hope for the best!!

Good Luck with yours!

oh confused one

I know exactly where you are coming from - I just seem to be getting nowhere fast. There is no way it was this bad before the intermediate ones in the summer.

Personally I feel grossly under-prepared but feel that is as much down to the tutor we have - I appreciate we are supposed to do quite a lot of work ourselves - this I have tried to do but find it difficult to go through the Kaplan text book when I am so unsure exactly what parts we really need to know.

Tomorrow I thought I would try a full paper from start to finish and take it from there - we have a class tomorrow evening.

PTC - I am not "AS" bothered about as I think I know enough to get me through, more than anything I think it is the fear of the unknown with PCR - with tax you at least have a rough idea about what to revise for.

May I wish every success for Thursday - I hope we both conquer our fears and do a good job
