definatly. so the thing my mind went blank on was the variable costs. but everything else was ok. didnt realise i could write so much on variances

Marga

yes it was fair. lol was starting to think marga and i were the only people doing mac on here

NO BUSINESS CASE

Got to agree was relatively straightforward....I think! Still bits in their that can trip you up but I think plenty of room to show that you had acquired some knowledge and ohopefully enough to get that pass in February!!!

So glad it is over...hopefully my last AAT sat exam as just Unit 10 to go now and will start that post xmas!!!

after this week i have unit 10 and audit. hope i pass.

Marga

yes thought it was only us too doing the paper

to be honest i compared it with ECR last year

I did plenty of writing off in ECR and crossed over plenty of things and some tasks i didnt even know how to do them but i attempted as best as i could i didnt think i had passed.... but then i passed

So MAC i knew how to do everything and attempted and did all the tasks and left quite happy so hopefully it will be a PASS for Valentine's day!

umerali2003

nothing complicated in this one i got some answers i wrote it on aat exam documentation ... i tried to bring Question sheet as well but no luck lol

Primble

its on valentines day!thats awful.

Primble

oh so thats how people get them out. you know thay have to be handed in after the last exam?

Marga

thats what i read 14th of Feb 2011 in one of the threads here


i think it is very unfair that they do not let us bring the question booklet home with us

I ran out of time ahhhh
found the paper fine and was disappointed with myself
I completed all of section 1 not sure if I did this correctly

and section 2 I think there were 3 sections I completed the first question but think I got 1 wrong
Did some of the calcuations as was running of of time in the next Q
and Did partof the the new budget in the third section but didnt have time to calc the new ratios.

Am curious can anyone remember what they got for any of the answers

Primble

i'm glad we dont bring it out. will cause more stress

Primble
