I have just been reading some of the threads, asking for copies of the MAS project or answers to this that and the other. <BR><BR>Some of the threads had 50 or so replies wanting something. If I were good enough to send someone a copy of something, then 50 or so people jumped in and wanted same, I think I would be inclined to say sod off, I'm not sending to that lot! And of course, I think work would kick off that I am sending that many faxes or whatever.<BR><BR>I managed to get hold of a complete set of papers and answers from my college (and they were free), why dont these 50-odd people ask their local colleges instead of writing on here? <BR><BR>Looking down the list of topics, you can guarantee there is always a cry for help for a past paper or help on the Project. Just get on with it people! There are hundreds of us who have done the project and also got answer papers - why cant you?<BR><BR>Maybe I am just in a bad mood or something. I think the moderators of this forum should maybe stop these kinds of threads as they are tedious as its topic after topic for the same thing.<BR><BR>Sorry for ranting<BR>Mandy<BR>- x -<BR><BR><BR><BR>

    Hi Mandy<BR><BR>Actually they have stepped in, and were very straight to the point about copy write and students cheating.<BR>It is in the General forum if you want to read.<BR><BR><a target=new class=ftalternatingbarlinklarge href="http://www.aat.co.uk/forums/messageview.cfm?catid=18&threadid=3925">www.aat.co.uk/forums/messageview.cfm?catid=18&threadid=3925</a><BR><BR>Claire

    Mandy,<BR><BR>Although I think that you are right in some respects some of us dont study at college and therefore dont have the luxury of asking our teacher for free papers.<BR>If you have to pay for your course then paying £14 a time for past paper answers can add up especially at technician level where you have 5 exams to take.<BR><BR>We are supposed to be here to help each other out, and whilst some people may just be being lazy most of us need this help.<BR><BR>There is no difference to asking someone to email copies of a paper or asking someone to check you answers to a question.<BR><BR>I think that you got out of bed on the wrong side.<BR><BR>

    Just to muddy the waters.<BR><BR>I see nothing wrong (even morally) with asking for exam papers (including answers) - although, it is against AAT rules.

    Hi,<BR>I am with you on that one Seamus. Past exam papers and answers were a big part of my studying. I don`t know what i would have done without this forum either.<BR><BR>Regards,<BR><BR>Sarah

    Well yeah, I can see I was maybe not at my best when I started this.<BR><BR>But just to confirm to Jennie, that the book from AAT which costs £14 includes the whole session's exams and answers, from Foundation to Technician level. But yeah, if you are going to pay for 10 sessions back, then it will get costly.<BR><BR>So sorry for being nasty. I think I was just miffed at all the "oh will you just send me a copy too" posts (and it bugs me when people dont say please and thank yous).<BR><BR>I love you all really<BR>Mandy<BR>- x -<BR><BR>
