Does anyone else make silly mistakes when doing practice questions? i'm studying for my cta exams in novemeber and keep forgetting the personal allowance/annual exemption or calculating figures and then not including them in my tax comp! aarrghhh! hopefully i'll get all my mistakes out the way before the exams!

I always forget those on practice papers at home. When I come to the exam, I always write these at the top of the paper along with their personal allowance ect and then when I have dealt with it I cross it off, that way I can not forget! I make sure I have a tick against all my workings which means that I have put them into the tax comp. Good luck0

I did something similar to this when taking my BA1 and 2 exams, when it comes to exams I tend to have a 'mind goes blank' and get stupid things wrong. So for example when the BA2 exam started I wrote out the treatment of PAYE etc in the ledgers, as i always forgot something when practising. just allows you to relax and read the questions knowing you can refer back to something. Was what we were told to do with formulas in Maths exams, so I'm sure i'll keep using it in future!0 -
