Units exams required before Level 4 professional synoptic

KarenM

Afternoon everyone ,

I am self studying the AAT Professional Diploma and trying to plan out my exam and revision schedule ( have completed the main books but leaving the exam kits until revision time ) after looking at the provisional new synoptic assessment windows .Could anyone confirm whether I am on the correct track thinking that I need to attempt the first three unit exams ( FSLC , MABU and MADC) before booking and sitting the synoptic PDSY

If I didnt pass one of these units and needed to resit then can I still book in a synoptic in Sept or October session and come back to the resit or do I need to pass all three before booking synoptic

Also I plan to do the two optional exams after the synoptic , thats okay isnt it ?

Thanks in advance

Hello,

I sat Budgeting, Financial Statements, Decision and Control and Auditing before sitting the Synoptic.

The synoptic is heavily based on Budgeting/Financial Statements and Decision and control therefore without passing these 3 units first, the Synoptic will seem extremely difficult.

Also, Auditing is a life saver and really really helps with the synoptic. There is a huge amount of cross over between both exams. I sat Auditing just before my second attempt at synoptic and passed Auditing in September 2019 and Synoptic in October 2019.

If you don't pass any of Budgeting, Financial Statements or Decision and Control then I strongly suggest you focus on resitting these until you do pass, then move onto the Synoptic.

Thank you x
