Sat the exam online and got 99% - a stupid mistake that I won't lose any sleep over though a bit annoyed at not getting the 100%. I was there or thereabouts I suppose. I was worried that it took about 50 minutes to complete when there was 2 hours allowed. I printed out the pages as I went along but didn't notic...

I'm currently waiting for my ICB level 3 computerised assignment to be marked and from reading around the forum I see I'm not the only one to have been frustrated by the ambiguity of some of the questions. It seems I did similarly to others in that I explained every assumption I had to make, so fingers cro...

I worked in a major bank for 18 years and worked my way up to manager before my children. I am now a stay at home mum, and would like to study for a qualification in book keeping, perhaps eventually to start my own business, but at the moment, to do my husbands books, and friends etc, just to occupy my mind as w...

Hi! I currently work part time at a hospital, but I do my fiance's book keeping for him. (He is a self-employed Heating engineer). To cut a long story short, I want a new career, one that will enable me to work from home for myself, or maybe even part time for a company. But preferably for myself! I have a 17...

Hi everyone. I've completed levels 1 and 2 manual bookkeeping with ICB and want to sit the Level 2 computerised. Apart from using sage and obviously it being computerised what are the differences between the exams? Basically, I ask because I can't afford to go through a training provider for this. I a...

As the title suggests I will be interested in doing the AAT intermediate, but I don't have the time to go to college (kids and so forth), so would like to do it from home. I rang BPP and they have given me the prices for the simulations and exams and I can source any learning media cheap. However my question i...

Sounds a simple enough topic but everyone has different methods that work for them. Thought that it might help to start a post where anyone can chip in their own revision techniques (however strange!) as trying it might be the missing link that might just get someone else through their exams. The stra...

Hi Still waiting on JobCentre to respond to funding request. In the meantime I'd like to get started, but without some structure it's hard to get motivated. I have all the recommended textbooks (and a few others). What should I start with, and how should I schedule my study time ? cheers
