I have just completed all the course work on the above. I have been told (don't know if it is true), that the online exam is totally different to the mock exam. I thought level 1 was all about doing manual books ie prepare all ledgers, balance off and do a trial balance all by hand. How can this be justified by doing an online exam compared to the good old paper based exam. Kind Regards.
Level 1 is indeed about doing manual books, but this does not necessarily mean that they are done by hand, a lot of manual books are done in excel so that formula's can be used. Manual book keeping just means that you are not using an accounting software package such as Sage/Quickbooks etc.
The online exam has a lot of multiple choice questions which makes it easy to do online.
