    The wages jhournal threw me a bit 2! I think it was a bit of a trick question!!
    Perhaps you would not have worried if you would have taken it more seriously and put some work in.

    Hi Rumana,

    I think you may have got a better response if you posted in the Intermediate section of the student forum.

    If you haven't resolved this query, I haven't checked elsewhere, here is your answer:

    You must value stock at the lower of cost or selling price(NRV, net realisable value)

    So when you look at the list of items with two valuations you should select the lowest value. So "other" should be valued at £3312.00.

    If an item is damaged or for some reason cannot be sold at the full price we must check to see whether this will affect the value of our stock.

    We see that the paper is valued at £32,254.80, however £6500 is to be reduced by 25%.

    £6500 x 25% = £1625.00.

    £32,254.8 - £1625.00 = £30,629.80.

    We can now add up all the values of our inventory:

    30629.80
    6736.20
    3312.00
    40678.00

    some questions

    I do not understand why examiner using complicated language, yes i do believe in work scenario complication arise but we than can resolve either communicate directly or ask for assistant,in exam scenario it is impossible to communicate therefore using complicate wording does not aim to test students knowledge but I believe they have another purpose which is to trip up us.

    how many are you think the way i am thinking.

    To me the language seems ok; very straightforward and absolutely equivalent to what I would come across in real life.

    I've only looked at a question and felt ill because I haven't studied enough, never because I couldn't work out what they were asking :blushing:

    Unit 9 June 09

    Hi,

    Sorry to change the subject but how did anyone find the Unit 9 exam? I expected it to have something about Production/Material Budgets etc and was shocked to find it didnt...or I am wondering if I completely messed it up and got the wrong end of the stick?

    Thanks

    if you look under the technician part of the forum you will find lots of posts where people have discussed the paper plus some answers they had.

    hope that helps

    ECR exam?FRA exam

    most of us..in our class found ECR exam was really hard compared to past exams, we study hard but still not enough to understand everything in the paper...it is so confusing..specially the stock valuation...why it made it so complicated!!:confused1:
    The FRA exam i found it really hard... I did not manage to balance it all, why is that??its because of the Cost of Goods Sold that been added on the triall balance..it is so confusing..and i dont think i will pass it.it is much harder compared to past exams.:thumbdown:

    From when it was asking the value of the Fixtures only and not value of Fixtures and fittings which through me as I was unsure whether this was a typo error or a trick question, all in all the paper wording was confusing and you are right . . in an exam situation we can't put our hand up and ask . . . "what does this question mean".

    Resit for me I guess.

    improving our english language

    hi,

    I am a foreigner too my friend, I understand your situation, however; to be honest with you, I did not encounter any complicated words or phrases that are confusing in the exam. Don't get me wrong my friend by saying, if and only if we try our best to learn, read and communicate as often as possible this english language...any exams in AAT that you will encounter in the future will be as easy as reading our own languages...this is just an advice for you my friend.

    Aly,

    It will be classed as a carried forward error, you should only lose a couple of marks!!

    If you have carried forward the wrong amount, you will only be peanlised once.

    Providing that you use the 'wrong' amount in the rest of the section it should still pass.

    Pev-aat nvq 4

    I sat PEV exams in Jun 09. I am dreading the result on the 18th Aug. I was so disappointed in section 1. I am almost sure I have failed it. I worked so hard and wasted 1 week's annual leave from work for nothing. I just circled round in soap question and have made errors and corrections in the first question. Not so tidy work.

    Am I the only one or does anyone else feel the same.

    I did complete the student survey re the exam feedback re this. Hope many other students did the same.

    June 09 DFS exam section 2

    I was very dissapointed to hear I had failed section 2 of the DFS exam, along with so many of my colleagues! We all passed the PEV exam and section 1 of DFS but for some strange reason all failed section 2! :cursing:

    I have put my appeal forward and I hope that it will be looked into as we have all worked so hard for this and being the first fail I've had, it makes it very dis-heartening indeed.

    Has anyone else had a similar result?
    What can we do about it?
    :mad2:

    I failed DFS part B as did many i know, also PEV as well... both had a ratio question in so not sure if I slipped up but I know on DFS they mentioned about a change in standard which many did not answer correctly, i was one who learnt what i was taught word for word to find what i was told was wrong... think my local centre will investigate but they probably won't bother!

    AAT exams June 2009

    I had to re-sit my PEV and PCR along with my first attempt at DFS in June. I ended up passing my PEV and PCR, but my DFS paper was lost!!! I have no choice but to re-sit that now in December... I'm absolutley gutted! I can't believe that DFS is the only unit without a simulation, because if they had that, i may have been able to get a pass with that. I'm really worried now whether or not my exam script will just get lost again...

    question

    I am about to sit the dfs exam in December. Bit worried as our college had no tutor for us. Was just wondering I'm the exam papers of says to complete the proformas. Are these actually set out for us or do we have to put in all the wording too? I'm finding this studying stressful and self study is hard. This is my last exam, any advice?
