Business Awareness and Management Accounting techniques Q2022

brightsky18

Hello everybody,

I am due to sit both these exams in next 6 months.
I am yet to buy the books for these.
Are both these exams theory based?
Are both computer marked?

I need some help deciding which one to take next. Something that is easy and can be attempted with least effort! (I am distance education student and works part time)

Are AAT 'S green lights tests reflect what would come up in actual exam?
Someone who has recently taken exam can definitely answer this.

Which publication books would you recommend for these?

Thanks in advance. Looking forward to getting some answers from the community.

BPP books are the best, and the green light tests are not bad but not great if you see where i am coming from.
MAFPS was easier for me got 81, and BAW was awful:)

MILA- do not really know how to tag you in haha. Had 40 minutes knocked of mine and techinical errors. Incident report submitted they will give me a 2% rise in my score which could be crucial. So I actually only need 68%. Results coming out mid AUG, got my results for MAFPS yesterday 81%

MILA I would say from my experience, Osbourne is similar but is not as accurate like BPP. We have been provided them by the college and they are word to word perfect.

Thank you @mila86 and @anony123 for clarifying where I m heading towards.
I feel like I need prevrecorded lesson or some tutor support on these two exams.

I m not great at writing essays but good at bullet points!

@Mila86 @anony123
Wondering if you had tutor support for these exams.
Is there a certain kind of presentation of answers that is looked out for. I m seeking to get a merit in both exams.

Are there any tutors on this forum that could explain what or how to write these papers?

Honestly, the teachers that our class have got are not that great. On your college's website, there should be a Powerpoint available to show the AAT Business Awareness summarised in literally 20 slides.
I am not bad at English, but what came up in the exam fml.
