I found out this morning that I have failed my last two exams, PCR and DFS, I was quite positive this morning but am now a bit fed up. The reason being when I did the exams in December I was under a great deal of pressure at work to get the management accounts out early because of my boss's daughter getting married and was threatened by work if I didn't get them done in time I wouldn't be able to have revision time etc for the exams. Anyhow the short story is I didn't get enough revision time because of my work commitments. I realised this going into the exams but thought I had done enough to cope, unfortunately it seems i didn't. I can't blame work entirely, in their eyes work comes first, training is a secondary issue but they do not see the importance of such training so am annoyed at them for not giving me the time that I needed. Despite this I am going to resit the exams in June....wish me luck.<BR><BR>Marie

Failed Exams
Hey Marie, You can get them under your belt soon, I took all 4 exams including BTC and failed all except PCR, and I still cant believe that I failed the PEV - which was the only one I was sure I had passed (HO HUM) I'll be re doing them in June and just putting the December results down to experience - they were the first ever exams in my life that I have failed - which at 32 I'm pretty proud of.<BR><BR>Keep smiling and start learning now, in between work, parenting, pleasure and Mars bars I'm sure that there will be time to fit in another 3 exams and four mocks & four Assessments & a devolved assessment oh and finishing my coursework for intermediate.<BR><BR>Well done for trying &GOOD LUCK IN JUNE<BR><BR>Lisa0 -
Failed Exams
I passed PEV and failed PCR and to be honest, I'm getting pretty annoyed with the AAT's exams. The 2 intermediate level exams were crap last June and even though I passed both of them, I felt that the exams were unfair. The same thoughts about the December ones that I took by which I mean that the exams papers contained questions which are difficult to answer. I am convinced that I got nearly 100% correct on section 2 for PCR, and because of section 1, whereby the whole section was based on Question 1 practically (which I struggled with), I failed. Im getting really sick of the exams and I find that my motivation has been reduced and my studies are suffering. <BR><BR>In addition, for June's exams, I now have a phobia for sitting them for fear of not being able to answer crap questions set by the AAT..0 -

hey guys, dont be glum - you have to be positive and put this down to experience.<BR><BR>You all seem to have a reason behind your failing, which you will have to learn from - sorry to be condescending.<BR><BR>Practice, practice, practice is the key for these bl***y exams, you need to get hold of an entire set of back copies (about 5 years) of each exam and you must know each paper inside and out, and fully understand them and be able to answer the written sections comprensively.<BR><BR>I did three exams in June and in the end my life revolved around them, I was doing a couple at work and one at home, or vice versa. Yeah, its ok for me being able to be able to do that at work, I hear you saying; but you really do have to work at these.<BR><BR>You have all got so far with the AAT and have done fantastically well, dont let one or two failures get to you, look at all the positive things you have done!<BR><BR>So go out tonight, have a G&T and forget about it.<BR>You can do this, you're fantastic women <BR><BR>Mandy<BR>- x -0 -

Sorry to hear You failed your exams. <BR><BR>I know it' hard combining work and study. <BR><BR>My employer does not support my studies, and I find it difficult and hard going. <BR><BR>I failed one of my exams in (PEV) last summer due to pressure at work/home, but passed it in December along with DFS.<BR><BR>Good luck with your resit in the summer. Stick at it, and you'll get there.<BR><BR>Mary0 -

Keep your chin's up. <BR><BR>I actually passed the PEV and was very surprised. i thought i had failed the memo's and didn't get the answer to the first question right until the very end. When i had realised i had still to go over it all in pen. As i had used pencil. <BR><BR>keep going at it. Don't give up, just think you have got more than one chance at it. <BR><BR>I gave up at the intermediate level 6 years ago. just because i hadn't passed the reports and returns (examination back then). You will regret it. and you would go back like i did. so get it all out of the way. while it is still fresh in your minds.<BR><BR>Good luck in june for every one sitting exams.<BR><BR>Helen0 -

Hi,<BR><BR>I sat both DFS and PEV in December and failed. I thought I had done enough for PEV but obviously not. Now I have to decide whether to re-sit both in June or do 1 in June and 1 in December. Think i am going to go on a revision course too. I live in the Shetland Isles so have never been on a course before and will either be going to Newcastle or Manchester. Has anyone else done revision course and have you found them helpful? There is no college course up here specific for AAT so just had myself as guidance and not sure where I am going wrong. If anyone has the answers for DFS and PEV from Dec can you e-mail them to me at the following address.<BR><BR>laura.e.johnson@sic.shetland.gov.uk.<BR><BR>Thank you<BR>Lol0 -
