Oh dear, totally screwed up the last question on DFS. The statement of principals - couldn't remember a flipping thing. Went on about relability, relevance, understandability and and and. Mentioned in one line at the bottom a bit about stewardship but on the whole talked rubbish. <BR><BR>With there being 7 tasks in Section 1 and only 2 in section 2 how do they mark compentency in both sections. Why don't AAT put equal amounts in both. Why not even just give a mark for one whole paper.<BR><BR>Second time now in two exams that last question my fail me. Really peeved off because my section 1 was neigh on perfect in PEV and DFS. Dreading PCR tomorrow.<BR>

    I think yes it is injust to have 7 task in section one and 2 in section 2. yes how will they check the competencies in both section provided the first section being good and the second section half right. good knows what aat thinks of.<BR><BR><BR>ARJUN

    Totally agree. It is so wrong to have to do some much in Section 1, but then gives you a chance of competence but then Section 2 is a make or break question.<BR><BR>If the AAT are going to rehash their layout, maybe it should be to make section 2 fairer

    They might not apportion equal marks for both sections. They just say you need to be deemed competent for both. For arguments sake there may be 200 marks for section 1 but only 100 for section 2. There were a lot of tasks for section 1 but the smaller tasks may not equate to many marks at all.

    i've read somewhere that section one is 70% and section 2 is 30% of the marks but you have to be competent on both<BR>

    I think I remember seeing somewhere on the AAT website in the guidance section for DFS that section one is worth 70% of the paper.

    The AAT have always made it clear that section 1 would be 70% of the paper, and would concentrate on drafting the accounts of limited companies, whilst section 2 would be 30% and concern interpretation.
