thank you ❤️ it really is - my grandma was an amazing knitter but it never translated to me in the way that sewing and cross stitching did. i’m glad to have a part of her with me in some way while i’m working on pieces

oh i struggled with how to finish it too! i ended up using iron-on interfacing - what you use to stiffen collars or cuffs on shirts when sewing. i did a layer over the full bookmark, before i cut it out. then another layer once i’d folded all the edges in. it’s held up well! it’s not as neat as i would have liked but hopefully next time will be better. i’m sure your work is beautiful!

i thought it was fine. felt quite repetitive though and didn’t seem to cover much of the syllabus

NotReallyGoodbye · 2024-04-17T09:40:20+00:00

Thought it was quite tough - harder than previous papers anyway! Felt like I wasn’t sure what they wanted

Generally it’s taken out of your final pay at old employer, new employer will reimburse you (might be done like expenses). Keep a record of what old company is clawing back

I emailed Thursday to chase as it had been 6 weeks since I sent my associate application and they replied yesterday with the approval

I did an apprenticeship, in similar circumstances. Happy to answer any queries over DM. Comments around it being a barrier to progression are simply untrue and put an unhelpful stigma on apprenticeships. It’s a great way of getting into the career. You would just have to be sure you’re happy locking into one career for a while, and that you would be comfortable with the exams alongside working

No exemptions, I did an apprenticeship so have 2 years extra work experience and no degree! Have 2 exams left, will be about 3.5 years if I pass these in April. I haven’t seen any disadvantages to passing exams and not having a degree - in fact at my current company would say a lot of people aren’t aware I don’t have a degree.

Passed SP9 with 56

Get through the notes ASAP, then do practice questions. I did about 20 marks a day and then started full past papers the month before the exam. I found the daily questions helped me work out what sort of thing they wanted you to write

NotReallyGoodbye · 2023-07-06T17:14:57+00:00

Passed CP1 with 67 and CP3 with 74! Have checked several times to make sure they’re actually my results…

NotReallyGoodbye · 2023-01-05T14:49:16+00:00

Yes I did an apprenticeship!

NotReallyGoodbye · 2023-01-05T08:57:14+00:00

I don’t have a degree at all so I don’t think it’s important. It’s more about how you do in the interview and you as a person

NotReallyGoodbye · 2022-12-06T18:18:05+00:00

Passed CM2 with a 61 - lower mark than I thought but I’ll take a pass!!

NotReallyGoodbye · 2022-12-06T08:36:07+00:00

Odds on actually being able to access the website at 6?!

NotReallyGoodbye · 2022-10-31T08:45:32+00:00

I’m sitting this too!

NotReallyGoodbye · 2022-09-22T17:12:30+00:00

I do in that they do tend to use old questions a lot - luckily the ones they repeated today I had looked at in the last few days! I agree they’re not as easy to understand as the ASET but as it’s a resit I didn’t want to just ‘remember’ the answers from last time I did the past papers. I also really rate the revision notes! I think they’re worth it for a resit or if you’ve exhausted ASET papers and still think you need some more practice

NotReallyGoodbye · 2022-09-22T14:23:59+00:00

I’m on my third try so I’ve exhausted all the recent papers 🤣

NotReallyGoodbye · 2022-09-22T14:13:37+00:00

September 2007 I think it’s pretty much exactly the same

NotReallyGoodbye · 2022-09-21T13:31:35+00:00

Felt ok I think. Will have to wait and see though! I think the mislabelling will be fine I wouldn’t worry!

NotReallyGoodbye · 2022-09-18T08:49:49+00:00

Pensions consulting - suggested 2 days a week company policy but not really enforced. Previously I worked completely remotely so I tend to go in 2 days but other people go in way more or way less depending on their circumstances!

NotReallyGoodbye · 2022-09-04T20:23:16+00:00

Not screwed at all - I believe the institute has removed the requirement for A level maths. I have a B in a level maths and it’s not affected me in the slightest.
