What did you all do in the exams? If you can remember? As we have one week to go to get our results.<BR><BR>I did my four exams in December, PEV, PCR, DFS, BTC and I also did CMCC last week. I have started my ACCA course this week already, and I am really worried that I might have failed PEV or PCR, maybe even BTC, you just never know. <BR><BR>With BTC, I felt I did well on the written elements of the exam in the whole paper but I definitely made a couple mistakes in Section one the Capital Allowances calculation, because in the year of cessation no WDA is applied, only Balancing Allowance, I calculated the WDA and BA, therefore my BA is wrong. I carried all these figures into the Tax form that is sent to Inland Revenue, so I know I have lost quite a lot of marks, my only hope now is that I have done enough in the written elements in Section 1 to pass, Section 2 on Corporation Tax calculations and written elements went well for me. Our college Tutor said that we had to get 30/50 marks in each section to pass the paper.<BR><BR>PEV, even though everyone else complained about Section 2 performance indicators and P & L, as I was doing DFS at the same time I studied for these already. But It took me really long to do all the calculations and make a good arguement in report after the P & L so when I went back to Section 1 to calculate a revised budget, my three hours were up. Does anybody know how many marks were awarded for the Variance Analysis and Reconciliation questions in Section 1? If I can get 35 marks here at least I would then have a chance of passing.<BR><BR>PCR, Both Section 1 and Section 2 I had no problem with in fact I looked at Sandy Hood's answers and I feel confident about both Sections. However never know, could have made silly mistakes in either section which could loose me marks. <BR><BR>I had a pain of a tutor for my CMCC last week, I hope he isn't marking my paper. His the kind that likes everything done his way and also never thinks out of the box, a real prat, as it's my last devolved exam I just grinned and bared it, without complaining.<BR><BR>Tell me what you thought of your exams, maybe I can identify any further mistakes I made on my exams.<BR><BR>

    Are you mad? Getting the results of 1 exam is bad enough but doing all that at one time seems mad. For all the work you put in you deserve to pass all of them. Maybe they could give you a pass three get one free type of bonus scheme.<BR><BR>Good luck for the results. I'm just waiting on PTC next week. Sitting DFS, PEV, PCR in June and I'm sweating over doing three a once.

    You are mad!<BR><BR>Sounds like your're getting yourself a little wound up over something you can't do anything about.<BR><BR>I can appreciate it though as I'm sort of in the same boat. Sat my last exams in December and have already enrolled on a CIMA course and been out and bought all the books. If I don't pass AAT it'll put me behind by a whole year. <BR><BR>I can't remember what questions came up in the exams and I don't see how going over all the answers again is going to do anything other than stress you out even more. <BR><BR>I'm trying not to worry about it until I have to. I've been told that AAT is a walk in the park compared to what we have coming doing our professionals. <BR><BR>Good luck anyway<BR><BR>C

    I couldn't agree with you more, it was madness sitting all four exams at once. The problem was that my college taught all four exams from September to November and expected us to sit all them in December. So it was a rush to revise everything in time to sit the exams, If I do pass I reckon I need a medal.<BR><BR>Good luck with the results next week.
