Hey
The excel sheet in the exam will function almost exactly like excel does normally, you can use formulas the sheet will be blank so you can do anything you wish / see fit, just make sure to show your workings
all usual symbols etc are available
on acca website there are practice exams and you can try out an excel based question

Wow passed really surprised thanks open tuition excellent resource

Cae1231 that all sounds familiar which is already assuring I think I put more into admin costs though (release of capital expenditure on advertising for example) but tax worked out the same any marks from that question are a plus for me will be tight maybe too tight

[scottyt]

Sounds like we had very similar paper I had horrible lease question which in section c can cost you. I had profit and loss from tb too which had loads of adjustments ended up a loss but also couldn’t determine what to do with some amendments

Hi shehzad
Whole syllabus def nothing really goes in asked important to nail down colsolidated statements but on the whole cover it all thoroughly

[scottyt]

Definitely tough but fair exam had loads of acquisition and consolidation questions section a and b are pretty much 50/50 I think there. Section c had tough p and l question which I think I flunked.
Screwed myself up as had associate purp question but took the whole lot not % of associate. Hope a few silly mistakes won’t cost me to much and just creep over the line
Good luck everyone

It is the Adjusted NET income please,
If I am correct, this is the total After deductions (qualifying interest) but before Personal allowance?
Also it will take into effect though any gift aid or Personal pension contributions?
But this is the part i am struggling with, on a few different examples / questions I seem to see Adjusted net income sometimes include the gift aid / pensions but sometimes these contributions do not affect the total?

[scottyt]

Was a very tough exam some of the wordy multiple choice questions are very tough.
Had a really weird question maybe its me
Gave a variance of 3000 adv mat and 2000 fav labour
Then gave the operational figures and asked me what the planning variances should be. No other information… am i missing something?

Many thanks for the help

I will give the lectures a go on some of the subjects I am struggling with, i think I was getting thrown as most practice questions I have done seem to focus on workings technique so I may try and look at some mock exams to get a better understanding of what will be required for the exam itself

Thanks for taking time to reply

[scottyt]

Good advice thanks for the help

Hi Mike

Thank you very much for the reply, I have study material from my course provider which has the learning material and question banks, I will probably look into a further revision book once I have made my way through all this i was just looking for any additional tools such as audio that i could listen to in moments where I have the oppertunity, I will give the videos a go as well though are they available through this site?

Thanks again for the response.

Scott
