Level 4: Study AQ2016, sit AQ2013 exams.

Rich5588

Hi, so first time posting on this forum.

I'm halfway through level 4 having completed Financial Statements, Personal Tax and the ISYS project.

I'm remaining on the 2013 syllabus, as this makes sense as the ISYS project won't transfer across. I wanted to continue to study in class to finish my remaining three modules, however most centres only do AQ2016 courses near me now. They have suggested I do the 2016 course but then enter for the 2013 exam. I've confirmed with AAT that it's ok to do that, but they said there's a risk involved as there are differences in the syllabus.

I wanted to ask if anyone else was persuing this option?

Hi

You could always study long distance learning either with Kaplan or similar others. Alternatively if you are in the Midlands, I could forward you a company that teaches classes.

Hi,

You may be in a different position now but I thought I would provide you with my input.

As you have passed arguably the 3 hardest exams on level 4 I think self-teaching could be a real option for you.

I studied level 4 with a local college but never took the Business Tax or the Fin. Statement exams before the end of the year. As I did not want to pay for the tuition again I decided to self-teach these two modules. I passed these two exams the first time.

I am also considering doing this for CIMA.

Best of luck!!
