No

I fel your pain however after 3 years of it. Many in my work are doing them next week and most people seem pretty stressed. Good luck if you're sitting.

Jealous! Hopefully 2 more years and then it'll be all over.

Has it helped you much since qualifying?

[Big Time Charlie]

Work-wise or career-wise?

Work-wise certainly. Career-wise definately. In my company anyway finance people who have gone through CIMA/ACCA have much better scope to move through the ranks; I've moved 2 grades in 18 months post qualifying verses 1 in the 3.5 years beforehand.

My other half is doing her final 3 next week..... Can't wait, maybe life will return to some normality and she'll be happy again

Good luck men. Remember fast cars booze and women. Do not waste your money when you are qualified.

P1 and P4. I'm OK with the latter - as long as you monster section A I think it's alright. Mostly common sense, I've made a massive list of acronyms to help me remember a lot of stuff; hopefully it'll get me through

Much more concerned about P1 though, in fact I'm stting a brick! Gonna spend the next week or so constantly doing past papers on it. Have you done P1, and if so, any tips

Did P1 in May. Section A and B were easy enough, but choose your section C question wisely - I opted for a relatively simple looking cash flow forecast that ended up being a nightmare once you got started!!
A & B should be covered by any past papers/revision kits you have, practice makes perfect. I managed to complete section A in the reading time, but don't get too hung up on it, a pass is a pass!
P4 seems easy enough, but I'm not counting chickens just yet

Little bump, passed both my exams. How did everyone else do?

My brother-in-law passed one failed 2, got 47 marks each on the two failed IIRC.

[ocrx8]

Passed them both, dead chuffed! 75 on P1 and 62 on P4.

Congrats to everyone else

Did my first AAT exam yesterday. Result in 5 days.

Quietly confident though. Famous last words. Ha ha.

Aren't they computer based and you get your result immediately?
