Hi <BR><BR>I have my Unit 1 Simulation on Monday, and already I feel like a nervous wreck!! I know the principles involved, but it's been a long time since I have been in an exam situation and I am having hot and cold sweats already just thinking about it, I dread to think what I'll be like when I sit the actual exam in June.<BR><BR>Any advice would be appreciated, and has anyone got any tips to entering data in a logical order, ie main ledger or subsidiary ledger first, write these up as I go along, or just follow each question as it comes?<BR><BR>Go on, help a thirty something pass her exams!!<BR><BR>Thanks in anticipat......ion!! (Sorry a Rocky Horror pun!)<BR><BR>Tracy

    Hi Tracey.<BR><BR>Relax- you'll be fine. Take your time to read through the paper, highlighting all the important points, dates etc. Read through the answer booklet to get a feel for what they want. Work through the questions in order, as you might need the answer from one question to answer a later question.<BR><BR>If you do get stuck, move on and come back to it. Drink water- dehydration affects concentration!<BR><BR>Scott.

    In my experience, read through the paper, read it again and carry out the tasks exactly as asked and in precisely the order instructed.<BR>Remember don't use eradicator, sorry, Tippex on ledgers, and in fact it's advisable to work through the simulation in pencil first before you tackle the exercise in ink.<BR>You'll find that the actual simulations are easier than those provided in the Osbourne text and so if you can do those, you'll be fine.<BR>Most of all, DON'T PANIC. <BR>Good Luck!!!!!

    Thanks Guys<BR><BR>You make a lot of sense, I'll take it all on board and I will try not to panic, it's mainly that I'm not used to taking exams, and I know I can do it, so I will be annoyed with myself if I freak out a bit and allow my mind to go blank, but hopefully that won't happen.<BR><BR>Cheers!

    No Worries about the reduncy, worked in my favour :o).<BR><BR>My wife is starting university to study dentistry in Sheffield hence the move there so the redundancy worked out quite nicely for me. I have a few appointments with agencies at the end of the month to try and find a job with a study package. Maybe even a day release one as I have struggled with distance learning, too many distractions and not enough discipline :o)<BR><BR>Nick
