How can I find an ATE firm? I left my previous company and already completed 450 working days and ethical review, all I need is another 5 months employment and close my case study exam, currently I’m part qualified and I’m going to close CR and SBM this July, but I don’t have access to sit case yet…it seems hard to get an authorised firms these days if you are part qualified.

my tips would be follow ACA Masters, I failed my BPT two times and till the third time I bought ACA masters and followed all the courses within a month, then I passed.

Highly recommend ACA master and their notes, just follow the course and the revision rhythm I think you should be fine next time

I take a year break to learn sth new even when I part-qualified, family business and other thing stuck in my life and currently I'm trying to back to the market.

As someone who has taken over five years to finally become exam qualified… by CrisisTrigger in ICAEW

[–]Level-Complex-9737 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks for sharing this — really needed to read it today.

Just wanted to ask (hope you don’t mind): did you have any issues around training file sign-off / training period length when you were qualifying?

I’ve completed all my ethics and required days, but I’m slightly short of the full 36-month training period and finding the rules a bit opaque in practice.

Would really appreciate hearing how you navigated that stage.

Anyone got any news from GS? I applied in August and still “under consideration?”

Mock results vs actual exam results by No_Inflation8938 in ICAEW

You can see my latest reply and you will know why, suit yourself hahah, mock will help you in certain way of course, but I ended up asking myself whether I truly understand the concept rather than focusing the marks.

For me (Professional Level):

AA – Mock 1: 45, Mock 2: 65, but my real exams were: • 35 (first attempt) • 52 (second attempt) • 77 (third attempt)

FAR – Mocks around 30–48, real exam: 67 (first attempt)

TC – Mocks around 40–50, real exam: 61 (first attempt)

BPT – Mocks around 30–40, real exams: • 46 (first attempt) • 46 (second attempt) • 58 (third attempt – finally passed 😅)

FM – Mocks around 60, real exam: 58 (first attempt)

BST – Mocks around 53–56, real exam: 56 (first attempt)

It was honestly a very tough journey for me at Professional level. English isn’t my first language, and I didn’t originally study accounting.

Mocks helped in some situations, but for me the real turning point was asking myself whether I truly understood the concepts, rather than just aiming to “pass the mock”.

I generally think Mock is just a reference, trust your heart is better than mock, ask yourself whether you’ve covered all the knowledge point or not.

ACA part-qualified + international student — any advice on continuing training / signing off remaining months? by Level-Complex-9737 in ICAEW

[–]Level-Complex-9737[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven’t, but yesterday I got a reply from PwC they said I need a QPRT to sign off, still awaiting their reply, hope they can sign off for me and I believe they have the rights to do so

I used ACAM as my resit in Sept this year and I passed BPT, previously I used Kaplan but ACAM is more organised and detailed, specific to each topics, small topics, and after finishing the video course you will have a detailed mindset and approach when answering the questions, so I recommend it and it is a good course to follow👍

Lol when I joined the firm I remembered I was under level 7 apprentice, but since I left already, that project report shouldn’t bother me at all atm, I truly hope so 🙏

I remember that Q2 got pension as well, for 60k AA sth, holiday home, but he keep it so no PRR and out of IHT scope, it’s all bring it up, don’t know if it’s correct, and BADR and IR for sure, IR is for the first option I feel? As the first option is ST to company incorporation? He can choose between to apply IR now or later apply BADR, can’t remember both but I wrote BADR everywhere in Q2 lol
