Struggling to Pass Financial Statements

Elliot174

Good Afternoon All,

I am currently studying Level 4 AAT and near completion other than FS. I am on my 2nd year with Sutton BMETC which is the last year you can do with this training provider. I have got one more chance at FS which is on 03/03 and i am worrying if i fail this where does that leave me, Will that mean i have failed AAT Level 4? or can you study and take the exam else where? I am looking at going on to CIMA after so i am hoping to pass so i can achieve the cima cert and get straight on to the diploma. Fingers crossed I'll pass this time round but can't help but worry in the back of my head about what if

Cheers

Hi Elliot
you don't have to be with a training provider to sit exams, so if your current provider won't support you any more (or will just let you sit the exam once more) you can just book the remaining FNST exam yourself (I use Kaplan in Birmingham) and turn up on the day. The exams you've passed are in the bag, so you haven't failed Level 4, you just need to pass FNST.
Good luck with it!

Hi @Elliot174

The qualification is AAT's, not the training provider's. Even if you fail, you will not lose everything you've earned so far and you can simply sit your remaining unit with another training provider (or even self-study it and sit it as an external candidate at another assessment centre).

For now, don't worry about "what ifs". Focus on Financial statements. If you have to carry on your studies somewhere else, we've got you covered.

All the best

Hi @ChristianB

I am focusing on passing FSTM but didn't want the thought that this was my last chance weighing on my mind but its good to know that isn't the case.

Hopefully in 8 weeks i will be commenting on here saying i have completed Level 4!

Thank you for your help

Cheers
