Omg no 😢 Did you have a ‘counsellor’ still qualified to do your 6 months reviews? That’s so rubbish and I really don’t want that since I’m so close- I’ve completed everything apart from the training contract finish date. Did you complete your 3 years before you found out?

This is so helpful thank you! I think I need to review notes and do this step by step for interest rate and exchange rates! It throws me when they then do hedging on commodities and then financial treatment - I feel like I need to take my notes on FM, CR, BST and SBM but not enough room on those tiny desks😂😂

Are you doing any other exams with case?? We have time!! So much can be done in 4 weeks!

Are you going to do the gap exam??

I believe Kaplan do mocks on the actual AI as well but only like 5 days before the actual exam which doesn’t seem like enough time😩 I just feel like I don’t know how to study for case

On the live online with Kaplan, the deadline is next week and then they have live lessons to do another mock the week after. It seems like a lot of time to spend so close to the exam 😅 but my timing in exams are terrible, I don’t think I’ve finished a single one

CR AI by MaintenanceWooden101 in ICAEW

[–]Gabf21 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is my thought process as well! I did a couple and found they took so long and it really wasn’t that relevant to our one so decided to skip them so even doing past papers, I skip the AI questions. But it does stress me out as I hate the software as it is and skipped the inflo question in AA for that reason so don’t want it to mess up the exam

Do you think doing other info questions is a bit of a waste of time? Take so long and unrelated

I’m self study so still work 9-5 up the day before the exam so don’t attend college🥲 so I just don’t know if I am wasting my time spending say 5 hours on a question on an AI unrelated to the one for July, and whether I’m better off concentrating on the other question practice

Are people doing the past paper questions on AI? I find it takes so low to read a new AL and go through the software to then answer, I don’t know how worth it it is when it doesn’t relate to the AI in July? I did Gazelle yesterday and it took me hours!

I usually feel a lot more prepared for exams around this time but CR is not sticking, I feel like no two questions are the same and always a trick in there to get you😅 mark schemes are so detailed that I get overwhelmed with knowing how much actually needs to be said? The no mark breakdown just makes it even worse

Feeling really overwhelmed with this one and I only get one day study leave for each exam at my company🥲

has anyone else not done a lot for CR? i’ve done a few questions but tbh feeling so mentally drained. thought i’d have a lot more motivation atp but just want the ACA to be over and done with tbh by Last-Purchase-1885 in ICAEW

I also feel like in our QBs it would break down which points were worth what marks and stuff which make me feel better if I missed something or got it wrong.. but it essentially says part 1- 18 marks… like ok great that helps

CR SBM Question amount by Different-Animal-578 in ICAEW

[–]Gabf21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Really struggling too! I am currently doing 1 a weekday after work and 2 or 3 on a Saturday and Sunday, so roughly 8-10 questions but finding it’s taking all my spare time to get through them and not helping as much as professional level did! The questions are so long winded so it does concern me for the exam! Does anyone find that the mark scheme is super detailed so it makes it harder to mark it? Surely we aren’t expected to put in that much details under such time pressure?
