Well, in 24 hours time some of us are going to be in the exam hall sitting our first paper!
I've put my MyAAT printout with my passport and driving licence (in case I don't look like me), my PEN and calculator ready for tomorrow morning.
I've also packed a bottle of water, my lucky breakfast snack bar (always have one before every exam), my orthopaedic cushion (in case the seats are hard plastic - I like a comfy bum!), a spare calculator and pen, and a copy of my special circumstances email, (post hip replacement I can't sit still for ages luckily they will add my walkabout time if I need it).
All I need to do is remember my worzel thinking head now!

Morning BTW0 -
hmmmm, think I'd better go invest in another calculator, although this one is only a few months old.0

pencil rubber calculator
Morning BTW
Morning to you too!
God Vic you really need to use some punctuation - unless I misunderstand you, you can't take a 'pencil rubber' to the exam room. You can take a 'rubber calculator' if you wish, but pencils and rubbers (aka erasers) are not permitted!
Do you have a rubber calculator?????FMAAT - AAT Licensed Member in Practice - Pewsey, Wiltshire0 -

Do you have a rubber calculator????? wolly
now am already stressed enough dont go using long words like punctuation0 -
I got my two calculators and passport ready, I have my printout somewhere on my desk in a pile of papers, which I'll go through on Wednesday and I got one pen, just need to borrow the other one from work on Tuesday.
But as for the seats, last time I went to southampton and they had hard plastic seats, so it might be the same again now!
I want a rubber (bouncy) calculator too now though! Got to go shopping for one I suppose!0 -
How about adding a bottle of kalms to that list of requirements, think I'll need a whole bottle! And a few prayers wouldn't go amiss0

I just want to be the lucky bag - and pass these exams!
I went back and did Dec 07 PEV today and ....... it was completely different to any of the other four; I'm so completely buggered if it's like that - it was horrid!FMAAT - AAT Licensed Member in Practice - Pewsey, Wiltshire0 -

nope no more revision now will only panic me what i think i dont know have flash cards but thats it now paper and pens away0 -
Are you sure that being a bag will help once you passed the exams?
I think it's probably lost some meaning in translation for you Rinske! Unless you're having a laugh.
As in .... you lucky bag ..... bag being a slang name for a person.
Bit like being a 'lucky cow' - if you see what I mean!FMAAT - AAT Licensed Member in Practice - Pewsey, Wiltshire0 -
Ah thanks!
That got lost in my translation indeed. I was wondering why you wanted to be a bag and thought you might have made a typing error or gave up on studies and had a new career goal. 0 -

Perhaps it's just as well you're studying accounting, not command of the English language FMAAT - AAT Licensed Member in Practice - Pewsey, Wiltshire0 -

I think you're riight Vic! Perhaps I'll go to bed now - how early is early for an early night? Not that sleep will come easily tonight!
Wonder who'll be logging on at 2 am? We could have a midnight feast together?FMAAT - AAT Licensed Member in Practice - Pewsey, Wiltshire0 -

I totally agree to that! I was wondering if I should do some course of English as second language, but then again, I doubt they would teach me things like this!I think you're riight Vic! Perhaps I'll go to bed now - how early is early for an early night? Not that sleep will come easily tonight!

Wouldn't it be nicer to do some other relaxing stuff before going to bed, so you won't be dreaming about your studies all night?0 -

Like what - I'm roasting a chicken, so that we have something to cut cold tomorrow (less cooking, more studying for Wednesday's exam).
When you're a studying, working-from-home-at-the-moment, busy Mum relaxing isn't something that happens much. It'd be nice to get in the bath, but I'm still not signed off for that by the doctor. Roll on 28th June! Yes ..... and that!FMAAT - AAT Licensed Member in Practice - Pewsey, Wiltshire0 -
Fair enough, oke, so no relaxing bath, how about a relaxing book, that would last about 4 minutes, until the kids recovered from you telling them to shut up and start annoying you again?0

Thanks for the ideas you lot..........(is off to change handbags for tomorrow).0

What like the light blub moment i had at 5.30 this morning talk about eating sleeping dreaming them dam variances lol0 -
Think its a forgone conclusion you'll dream about the exams, last time I dreamt I forgot to go!0
-
-
Dream or nightmare?
Then you wake up in the morning panicking that you've overslept/missed it!
I dreamed that when I opened the paper the questions were all really hard maths – solving differential equations, that sort of thing – and I couldn't do any of them. Just like my Maths A-level really.0 -
No I meant the kind of dreams where you just keep thinking about study stuff and end up repeating all ratios in your sleep. You wake up in the morning, not remembering any of them and completely tired.
Anyways, didn't help me last night, and I woke up this morning at 5, to just get up and stare at the dfs standards a bit more....0 -
GOOD LUCK EVERYONE! I'm going to get dressed to go now, so logging off!FMAAT - AAT Licensed Member in Practice - Pewsey, Wiltshire0
