Good luck Becca and everyone else sitting ATT exams this week.~ An investment in knowledge always pays the best interest ~Benjamin Franklin0

24 hours and I'll hopefully be on the train home! I can't wait for this exam to be over, but then the wait for results is awful too!0

I took ATT personal tax this morning. I was surprised at how little they actually test you on 12 small questions and 3 large ones. Also surprised at how quickly the exam time went :001_unsure: I have never written so much and to be honest I ran out of time.
Fingers crossed it was my lucky day or I will be resitting in November!!!
How did everyone else do?

There were 4 long form, and 12 short form. I think I may get about 40% overall, so not great! Oh well. November resits here I come.
There was a long form on redundancy pay and that is one area I just cannot get stuck in my head.. goes in one ear and then straight out however hard I try to retain it. So points completely lost on that one!
I loved that we got a gains on leases Q because I practiced this for so long and I got really good at it, until I realised that it says NO CALCULATIONS NEEDED. I was so disappointed! 10marks on an email explaining it instead!
Oh well, went for a dustbin lid pizza afterwards with my mum, so that ended my day nicely!

I bet you've done fine Becca, it's strange to see the weird and wonderful places unexpected marks come from (based on mocks, not real exams anyway!) It's very easy to stress over the parts you couldn't do rather than the parts you sailed through.
I did BTAP and think (hope) I have done enough to pass. My exam also had 12 short and 4 long, with the long questions being a sole trader losses question, a partnership accounts question, corporation tax gains and entrepreneurs relief question and a question relating to a machinery leasing business, so quite a variety!
I pretty much ran out of time so I didn't get to check anything, but still haven't had the gut wrenching realisation I've done something totally wrong!
Fingers crossed for July!0 -
oh my god i think i missed one question completely. I didn't see a question on leases and I had revised so much and knew all about them. Crap crap crap crap.0

Nooo!! Are you sure? - It was on the back page. It was a 10 mark one. You had to explain the consequences of this woman either granting a long or short lease on one property and selling the lease on another, in an email, with no calculations.oh my god i think i missed one question completely. I didn't see a question on leases and I had revised so much and knew all about them. Crap crap crap crap.

I know I got a couple of the short forms absolutely right- so that's about 8 guaranteed marks! haha
I'm not going to worry, it's done now. If I pass I pass, If I fail there is always November to retry.
Good luck for your results in July.

Oh bugger I definitely did not see a lease question - first thing I said to my husband when I got in the car was that there were no lease question and as my nemesis I'd spent a 2 hour car journey to the exam revising them. How on earth I managed that I do not know. I can't work out if I want to cry or laugh!

Don't cry. It was a small one in comparison to the other long form's, so it may not have made too much of a difference! Hopefully!
I was exactly the same with Leases... revised more than anything and got really good at it, so was disappointed when I didn't need to do calculations!! I also went straight home and mentioned this to my boyfriend.
Forget about it now- can't change it.

Also just thought- if you were writing up to the end, then you obviously spent more time on the other questions and so will have definately got loads of marks on them 0
