I am looking to do technician in September - with possible resits in Dec :-( and i was wondering if anybody could give me some advice.<BR><BR>I get myself all worked up when it comes to exams, so i was wondering if i could take as little exams as possible. Is this the case? I know it is different for all colleges though.<BR><BR>After hopefully finishing AAT, i am not going to continue studying accounts as i have not enjoyed this course but i would probably like to do something in Payroll as i do this now at work and i love it. <BR><BR>Any advice or tips would be grateful

    If you do auditing and cash/credit management these are devolved not central assessments - and looking at previous threads the cash management is very easy - then you are left with only 2 external exams to do, and the project of course.<BR><BR>I think that we all get worked up about exams, you are not the only one.<BR><BR>Good luck with whatever you decide<BR>

    Hi<BR><BR>just to follow on from claudialowe, unfortunately there are actually 3 exams (1 for financial statements and 2 costing/budgeting/forecasting papers)<BR><BR>As for it being different for all colleges, the assessment is actually stimpulated by the AAT so there wont be much variation in assessment.<BR><BR>If you have problems with exams, try doing them one per sitting, interspacing them with skills tests/devolved assessments. A grood revision course is also advisable for confidence.<BR><BR>Neil

    Hi I from my own experiance exams freak me out as well I found that doing up to 4 exams daunting so I selected to do just 2 this time around and I will sit 2 in December (if I pass). It allowed me to concentrate my efforts into just a couple of areas. This helped me a lot I did not feel as stressed out of as some of my fellow students. Of course it depends on your time (mine was limited with having a job plus family commitments). If you are not in any hurry doing it in "bite sized " portions gains your confidence because you have more time on each subject. It was suggested to me by tutours I have a practice at all of them but I stuck to my own agenda. I kinda veiw technician level as full time crammed into part time teaching hours. <BR>Good luck whatever your decision.

    Thanks everyone for your advice. It looks like it could be an action packed year so i may spread it out over 2 years. I have no ruch as i am only 19 and i think it will benefit me more if i really understand the subject, instead of just revising to pass an exam.<BR><BR>Thanks again to all of you for taking time to answer my questions!
