Getting really stressed

Don't worry I was really stressing when I did foundation too. I was in tears when I was attempting the first mock test. But it'll get better. When do you sit your exam? I'm sure you'll have enough time as there's no set date to submit your mock tests (despite what the timetable says). <BR><BR>Just draw up a timetable and stick to it. If you really think you are running out of time, then you could start Unit 3 which is what the exam is based on. You can still sit the exam without having passed all the actual simulations. (I'm doing Intermediate now and have 2 foundation tests still to pass!!)<BR><BR>mi|kshake~

Getting really stressed

I too am doing foundation as a distance learning option - I have nearly finished now, just one more simulation and my portfolio to complete but boy has it been a long struggle.<BR>I too wish I had gone to college but the time commitment with that and working full time would I am sure have caused me to drop out.<BR>It is very hard to be disciplined to study when you are studying at home and I have taken about 2 years to get this far so have been very slow - better slow and steady than stressed though in my opinion - take your time is my advice.<BR>I was like you to start with, and had absolutely no idea where to start, the tutor was (and still is) not very good as they are never around to speak to as they are only part time - but I suppose in a way I feel I have acheived more like this as I have really has to learn everything myself. I do not work in an accounts environment and so found it even mroe frustrating as i could not ask anyone for help when I was struggling - a mentor would be very useful if you can find yourself one.<BR>There have been lots of time when I thought why am I bothering and wanted to give up but now I am nearly there I do feel good that I kept at it even when I was having a near nervous breakdown over the exam, struggling with what went where in the T accounts, balancing TB's,etc. Basically what I am trying to say is that despite the stress and strain of it all, one day it all seems to start to click and you have some sort of epiphany and wonder what you were making so much fuss over!
