Can you share your tips? I’m going to attempt AA in March. Did you only use OpenTution materials for passing? Hod did you prepared for the exam and how much time did you studied?

My tip to pass – not to leave studying to last minute. I got 73% first attempt. I study with Kaplan book. And if i dont understand something, i watch a video here. When i read a textbook, i dont move on to the next chapter until i understand fully the chapter i am reading and i take notes. Also, doing exam kit as much as possible and analysing the mistakes of each question. (Focusing on quality over quantity in terms of the exam kit questions done)

I studied AA for 3 weeks and passed with 66 in June’21 (and am also an auditor at a B4 so experience helps). The trick is to know that the format answer for Risk, ToC, Substantive is all the same.
1. What is the error
2. What the error could do to an account in the FS (i.e. overstatement/understatement)
3. What should be done to rectify the error.Hope the 3 points help

I studied using BPP ebook and each time I was reviewing the answers at the end of the book I was feeling overwhelmed because my answers were much shorter than the book. But I understood it’s normal to be shorter but clear, as you don’t have time to write a novel in the exam.
I didn’t like this subject at all, I hated it while studying but I planned the study as well as I could and I practiced a lot, more than with any other exam I had before. Practice is really important here because you cannot learn by heart the answers. I didn’t want to redo it, so I tried to do my best.
Audit risks will always appear on this exam (it was mentioning in a debrief also) so they are important. For me, while studying, controls seems to be the easier, but I struggled a bit during the exam. Substantive were the hardest for me, as I didn’t had the time to study them more and they also appeared in the exam. So, everything is there, there is nothing more important than other.
For the time study, I dedicated about 3 months, but approximately 1 and a half was of intensive study (3 to 4 h/day as I am also working full time).
There is a post on this forum about someone who passed with 85%. I read it twice, and I would recommend it.
Ah, and don’t practice on paper. Use the computer, use excel, word, whatever you want but not paper. (i am a paper writing lover but it’s important to simulate the exam as much as possible, to count the time you spend on questions…)January 17, 2022 at 9:49 am #646602oliviaknighf

64% first attempt.
To be honest i thought i would score way higher, I practiced well enough, attended the webinar, took several mock exams and attempted all questions, didn’t find the exam challenging and i smiled all through. I don’t mean to sound proud but i’m very grateful i got a pass. The point in this is to never get comfortable at any stage, keep pushing in the exams. Also, in the exam, don’t think what you’ve written will get you to 50%, give that extra shove, it might be what will save you.

Studying for the substantive is going to be the most time consuming. I did a CEAVOP (assertions) table for each primary account with 3-4 bullet points for each type of assertion. It should be a huge table but if you prepare a few weeks in advance and just keep looking at it everyday/every other day it should be pure memorization. There is logic behind testing each assertion but under time pressure one would be better off memorizing 2-3 bullet points for each

Pass with 62.
For those who failed with 47-49% – it is not a lack of knowledge, but the exam technique.
I didn’t care much about it before, but when I failed PM twice with 46 and 47 I changed my approach paying more attention on the exam technique and markers reports. I passed that paper in the next sitting with 68, without any additions to my knowledge of syllabus.
Don’t give up, you will make it.January 17, 2022 at 6:40 pm #646788tnvrstar

Don’t know why students who failed do not share their story here.
I am working as an accountant for more than 7 years, studied for 2 days and gave the exam. Surprisingly, I found the exam easy as most of the things are familiar to me. Attempted all the questions and was pretty confident to pass.
Here comes the surprise! I failed with only 40 marks 🙁
