in Bookkeeping Transactions
I'm a new starter and I'm wondering how long I should schedule/ how long others have taken to prepare for the BTRN exam? Haven't sat an exam in years so looking for some guidance on how to formulate a study plan/timeline?

I've looked through the learning and assessment plan on my training provider but looking for some answers from real people!

    Good afternoon Alisa,

    I’m going to have to provide you with the useless answer of ‘however long you need’; when I did BTRN (and most of the others I have studied thus far to be honest) I usually studied the book for a couple of weeks and then booked the exam for a couple of weeks afterwards to force myself into intensive revision.

    I found my training provider’s recommended study schedule to be way out of sync with my timescales, some of the units I was completing in a third of the time recommended by the provider.

    With BTRN especially I found my most useful and effective revision technique was to write up my own cue cards to aid in remembering definitions and bookkeeping entries for the main transactions (basically I would have the question on one side and the answer on the other and i’d Go through the full stack each day until it was lodged in my memory).

    I hope this helps in some way and good luck with your studies!

    Gary
