How did you find the synoptic exam? I found that the ethics part was quite good questions and feel quite confident with that part of the exam, however the spreadsheets part is another kettle of fish well and truly. it was horrid there wasn't enough time to get the tasks done, i ran out of time on the last question, plus the questions just wasn't worded easily as to what you was meant to do and where to find the information.
I agree with you completely. The first section was fine, much better than I expected! But I struggled with the time allowed for the spreadsheets, there was to much to do. I finished all tasks but I rushed the last ones and don't think I'll get many marks! It took me a while to get my head around what they where actually asking for in some questions. I just want to know my result now as I've got myself a new job and I'm enrolling onto the next level but with a different college, the wait is awful!
I completely agree with you. I'm in the same position I've gotten myself an Apprenticeship and they are putting me through level 4 and I hate having this waiting game. I will be gutted if I fail it this time round and have to resist it.
I doubt they will release them on a in Saturday as they don't have anyone there over the weekend do they? Also it won't be Monday 28th as that's bank holiday so it's looking like the 29th August. Who knows they make work to get them released on Friday still?
@AAT_Team I was guessing that is all. In the past no matter which day of the week you sat the exam you had to wait for the Friday. Then some people piped up to say they sat it on Saturday so just thought that may mean results could be out on a Saurday too.
Thanks for confirming it is Friday 25th. Can you tell us when on Friday?
well after the disaster of the exam - I did check with the Information Commissioner if AAT were registered - hardly was the answer. AAT didnt answer my query
and mooching around the ICO site today - I found this
I found that part 2 was a lot easier then most of the practice assessments we had completed and completed all 3 spreadsheet tasks with time to spare. Hopefully ive done enough on the ethics just cant wait for friday to be over with
I just hope we've all passed it! Don't wish sitting that exam again on anyone and the wait! I don't really care what percentage I get I just want to pass, I'll be more than happy with a pass!
// Don't wish sitting that exam again on anyone// and yet that is reality for a lot of us ho hum such is life my only grouse is that I paid to be treated like this - and of course expected something completely different - a well presented course and an exam on it at the end.
