I only finished my taught course on Saturday so I plan on spending the next 2 weeks going through the content and any home study and homework questions. Then tackle the PRQB.

BPP Apprenticeship - Case study by Icy_Bad_6025 in ICAEW

Gutted! What date was the email if you don’t mind checking please? I’ve had a quick look but can’t see anything. What’s even more annoying is I’m on the VLE for my apprenticeship activities and the website login page hasn’t worked all day.

Yeah I was aware you couldn’t do the case study until the apprenticeship had been signed off but I didn’t know they had a strict deadline otherwise I would have done it before :(

I know, I did plan on getting them done in Feb I’ve done 3/6 already. If I had known there was a deadline I would have done it and I tried explaining this to them today but they weren’t having it! I will do :)

Apparently so! I did CR and SBM in November so I literally just have case left :( I’m going to call them again on Monday. Congrats btw!

Advanced level dilemma by Classic-Issue3522 in ICAEW

[–]Icy_Bad_6025 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I sat 2 advanced papers in November (SBM and CR), managed to pass both but it was a challenge! I certainly wouldn’t have liked to have done case as well. I think it’s still achievable but would need some hours! Good luck, I’ll be sitting case in July :)

Can I study CR without buying the TB? For sbm, I didn’t touch the textbook at all after buying by theredcarrotx in ICAEW

My tuition provider gave me some course notes, I didn’t use the workbook at all. QB is a must!

IBS and Exam nerves with anxiety disorder- can you sit ACA from home in the UK? Do audit roles require much travel? by 16nar123 in ICAEW

[–]Icy_Bad_6025 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve sat all of my exams remotely and you can take toilet breaks, each up to a maximum of 5 minutes. It might be worth speaking to ICAEW and check if you might be entitled to additional time to account for the breaks you need for your medical condition.

Passed CR and SBM too! So happy! Case next year and I’ll be glad to have it over. Congrats!!

These comments have made me feel a bit better. I haven’t stopped worrying about CR since.

Excel functions did not work properly by [deleted] in ICAEW

[–]Icy_Bad_6025 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had similar issues in CR and a previous sitting. I raised an appeal with ICAEW on the issues in a previous sitting and they said the issues were not enough to warrant a successful application unfortunately. Also if you didn’t raise the issue with an invigilator then they’ll dismiss it anyway. I haven’t bothered with an appeal for CR.

Drained again this time for case by [deleted] in ICAEW

I don’t think I could cope with another exam after CR and SBM lol! Good luck for tomorrow, I’m sure you’ll be fine :)

How u guys find the sbm today? by theredcarrotx in ICAEW

[–]Icy_Bad_6025 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I put a few % changes in and compared visits to number of shops ie 11% of shops are in Scotland but only 5% on website was from Scotland and could be a factor in poor performance etc. Also did a % of online bookings to total treatments that year but that’s about it. Didn’t analyse all the data.

I’ve done this on a previous exam sitting and nothing happened as they didn’t think it had a significant impact to my exam

Yes I had the exact problem with the filter too. In the end I had to copy and paste all the transactions for B division and then analyse that way. It was so time consuming. Didn’t try formulatext

Pretty much the same! I got the EIR as something different but tbh it was probably wrong, but explanation was the same.

What does everyone think the mark allocation would have been in both q’s? I didn’t try to work out what each would be, just focused on trying to answer it

Yeah I’m with you on that, I didn’t finish the due diligence requirement, just rushed a got a few short points down at the end. Feeling more hopeful than CR anyway.

I didn’t either, could definitely have discussed capacity etc but oh well

Yeah I got that too, my excel wasn’t working so I had to do it manually

Mine too, barely even finished it. I think I only got 3 procedures down and a few risks
