Hi everyone,
What materials are/have you used for the ATX preparation? Has anyone found anything similar to the Opentuition lectures? I have studied and passed all my exams so far using the OT lectures which I found extremely helpful. As no lectures are available for ATX, I’m not sure where to start.
Many thanks
RoxanaMay 2, 2022 at 9:58 pm #654783Hi Roxana,
I am planning to give my ATX paper in Sept 2022, and I am facing the same problem. OT does not provide lectures for ATX and I am not sure where do I get help from. Have you been able to sort it out? Please do let me know. Thanks.

Is there any chance to advise where did you start from regarding the notes please ?
It seems to be so much material for this exam that would be very helpful if someone has an organised notes.
Regards,

I am awaiting my ATX result (December attempt).I will share my personal experience how i prepare and what kind of difficulties i faced during preparation and how i overcome on these. I wish and pray that i get a pass for my exam.ATX paper syllabus is huge (Corporation tax, IHT, CGT,IT, VAT, ETHICS. STAMP DUTY) and consists of plenty of rules which overlap each other. As a matter of fact if you do not keep on repeating them on daily basis, you will easy forget or mixed up. But positive side is, these rules are not difficult to understand.
First you need to look for a good tutor (preferably paid) rather than doing self study. I did my tuition with LSBF. The notes were short and to the point and perfectly made for exam point of view. However i was not completely satisfied with the tutor. Kaplan might be a good choice.
I did my tuition in September and attempted in December. It gives me 2 and half months for making my own notes. Once i finished with one topic like CT and prepare my notes then i make a summary of the whole topic which include the points i covered with small bullet points as an explanation.
Once you are done with all topics mentioned above(notes and summary notes) then start practicing past paper exams.
For ATX i use KAPLAN exam kit. The questions in exam kits are nicely divided under their respective topic
FOR ATX i advise to practice at least 45 questions (last 5 to 6 years) and for this you need atleast 5 to 6 weeks.
Also watch owais mirchawala practice to pass webinar on youtube. It gives some useful tips how to attempt ATX paper using CBE platform.
Remember the golden rule keep on repeating your own notes (on daily basis). It will give enormous confidence.I hope this will help you. Also please pray for my exam result.
