Advice on AAT entrance exam
Permalink Closed


Hi Everyone

I have done IAB manual level 2 and 3 but I am about to join AAT level 3. I was told I had to take an entrance exam.

I was wondering if anyone had taken it recently and could give me a clue what sorts of topics I should revise please?

Hi,

I can only assume that your talking about the skills test?

The test is pretty basic bookkeeping with a few added twists such as refunds.

You only get one go at it so brush up on your double entry before sitting it.

Hi Shamus

I think it is the skills test, I tried a checklist skills test and that seemed ok but then I tried the introductory test and I didn't do so well!!!

Have not come across refunds yet, what should I know about that?

Thanks for your advice

Hi,

best advice might be going through the AAT revision companion for units 1-4 (you only need 1-3 for the test).

Its not as scary as it sounds and you should with a bit of application be able to do the whole text in a weekend.

That you've not come across refunds might mean that your not really ready for technician level AAT yet.

AAT like all of the other bodies builds on knowledge brought forwards from earlier modules. Not all bodies incorporate the same level of detail in the syllabuses at each level so you may find that in transferring from IAB to AAT you may have missed something along the way.

Best approach as detailed above is to do the AAT revision companion to fill in any gaps that you have from your IAB studies. If you sail through then go for a higher level AAT but if you struggle then it might be an idea to restart AAT from scratch.

I'm sure that you'll actually be fine though and all that this will actually cost you is the price of the revision companion to retest yourself on the basics and prepare yourself for studying AAT.

Good luck with your studies,

kind regards,

Shaun.
