Failed my Cash management exam!

geek84

Hi Folks

I recently failed my computer based cash management exam - the result was 'incompetent'. However, the exam centre said they weren't able to tell me what result I got or what questions I got right/wrong.

Is it possible to find out the above information or aren't students allowed to know what percentage mark they achieved and what questions they got right/wrong?

Thanks in advance for your response.

You can appeal the result with the AAT but you will need to go throughyour training provider and this costs £23! The AAT will not tell you the percentage you got but will tell you what areas you were competant in and incompetent in.

Hope this helps

I'm still waiting for the results of my paper based unit 15 on the old standards - Cash Management and Credit Contol. Some areas of this unit were really really tough !

Steph - I knew you could appeal to the AAT, but I didn't know that they wouldn't tell you what parts you got wrong...

any news on your Cash management?
Can't recall are you waiting for Prof Ethics as well

uknitty

No - no news for me ! I did prof ethics through Kaplan (so effectively paid for the unit twice) in order to get it signed off for the "June" deadline.

When did you say PT received your unit 15 sim back ? I think I sent my AWS a week before you and my CMCC a week later than you (mind didn't arrive until the first week of May because of the two bank holidays...)

Ha Uknitty

just asked you that on another thread sorry

They received mine I think the 14th April. (I need to check that coz not 100% sure and am on a different PC than normal so can't look) so they just marked it today (or told me today)

They have started marking those now that came in after 30th and the pile is now down significantly, last week it was 90 t but now its about 50 so they are getting through it and aparently all papers received before 30 April have been marked. My other arrived 4th May due to bank hols

I was told 2 weeks ago I had passed Unit 15, but they didnt send anything. Then when I rang they said I hadnt passed and everytime I rang in the guy who was marking my paper, was not in the office. So maybe I did pass and maybe I didnt pass, I dont know but anyway now it has to go through to IV. My other papers took another 25 days from when I was told Id passed to being on the AAT web site. so maybe by the end of July this one will be posted. My other one could be now well into mid of august since it may be another 2 or 3 weeks before they mark it and then 25 odd days for IV and so on. Ah well

Hi Folks

Just to let you know, I re-took the exam today and passed!!

3 down and 3 more to go!!

uknitty

Congratulations ! Are you doing this unit on the "new" standards then ? Which unit is next for you ?

I've still not had my results back !

Hi uknitty

I am doing the course via distance learning. This exam was computer based and I got my result virtually straight after completing the exam. I have now passed 3 exams on this level 3 (ne format), and 3 more to go. Its costs & revenues next for me. How about you?

uknitty

Finished level 3 (sort of) on the "old" standards - just waiting for the result of this skills test.

Looking to do my first level 4 exam (FNST) in the next few weeks. Also a distance learner, so I'll have to find out what dates are available for me to take the CBE.

Hi uknitty

Are you working in the accoutancy field? I have been out of ork for over a year and just cannot get back into work. I have sent 400+ letters to accountancy practices - in most cases they don't even reply, and those that do have the standard rejection ' Thanks but no thanks'.

Any advice regarding job hunting would be grately appreciated.

AAT Level 3

Have you resat yet?

I passed this today was definitely the most different exam from the online mocks so far.

Good Morning

Yes I have passed my cash management exam. I have another 2 exams to go - spreadsheets & professional ethics. After completing them, I would have completed my level 3.

uknitty

Congratulations Geek84. Its such a boost when you see something signed off on your Statement isn't it.

I think the toughest ones may be out of the way for you now - I know lots of people have commented that spreadsheets is a nice unit. You'll be on level 4 befor you know it

geek84

Hi

Yes, I do get the feeling that spreadsheets is the easiest unit out of all of them. Bit of a sharp contrast to the previous one - costs & revenues.

Have you done the Professional Ethics assessment? What type of questions does that assessment include? I hope its not as difficult as costs & revenues!!

uknitty

I did mine under the old standards and I believe that Ethics is one of the units that has changed quite a lot under the new QCF framework. I think most people say its a rather straightforward common sense unit though.
