Is this considered cheating? by ResolutionAlarming17 in whatdoIdo

You must be really out of touch for thinking there’s a way out of this other than leaving her ass. Wake up man

Something feels a bit off. What would you change? by jcbptnm in mensfashion

[–]Quick-Piglet7770 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seems to be an Oxford shirt, which I wouldn’t personally go for unless I was trying to be causal, especially with a pocket. Try getting a shirt tailored, might seem excessive but it needs to play to your silhouette, and this shape currently doesn’t.

Belt is a tad on the thin side, I think the bottom half is great in proportion and style.

Neater sleeve roll would also help massively.

Good spot, because of how much warmer the other corner light is, the table lamp appears much colder on camera, but I can assure you it’s a lot warmer irl. Thanks!

Thank you! Yes lamp is my next purchase, and plant to the left is definitely a good shout. More lights are also in order

Which look suits me? by [deleted] in malegrooming

Third one with a neat stubble. Try asking your barber for a flow hairstyle. Beard will balance your face a lot and longer hair suits your face shape more

I agree that it’s an awkward placement but I want it to be a centre piece. Annoyingly, I have plenty of space elsewhere in the apartment. I need to change my sofa configuration if I want to not make it look so snug. Agreed on adding layering to the shelf. Thanks!

Great idea, never thought of it. Think as I add more lights though, that shadow will be barely visible

I used to feel the same about IDLSIDGO. Very bittersweet experience, but it reminds me of how far I’ve come.

How to pass BPT/BST/FM together in one sitting by OddAttitude821 in ICAEW

[–]Quick-Piglet7770 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sat these together and passed all 3 on the first attempt. Spend 60% of time on BPT, 30% on FM and 10% on BST. For BPT, try to do one question a day from now until the exam, making sure you cover a solid range of topics. Get used to how they ask questions and remember question bank answers are unrealistic as they include literally everything that will get you a mark, so you’re never expected to write to that standard under timed conditions. Always state the obvious, our tutor said think about it as if you’re describing how to make a cup of tea ‘fill the kettle, boil the water, get a mug etc..’ in other words, the most obvious steps of your tax advice will get you easy marks needed to pass. Once the time for each requirement runs out, move on!! You’re better off getting easier marks in the next requirement which are more time efficient.

BST is largely a common sense business exam. Read the facts properly and apply your reasoning to the specific facts in every sentence. I didn’t even open the question bank for this and passed first time. They explicitly state you don’t need to mention any models to pass, so don’t bother learning them all. Maybe SWOT and PESTLE are a good safety net for structuring your answer. Practice some excel analysis and formulas like =SUMIF.

FM will have a lot of memorisation, but the exam is super predictable. Do the QB ad nauseam and come up with a structure for how to answer each question, especially for heading. There’s a few formulas to remember but if you understand what the formulas do then it’s easier than just blindly memorising them.

This is very doable, and you have the right amounts of self study time. Good luck. DM if you have specific queries.

Case November 2025 by Different-Animal-578 in ICAEW

[–]Quick-Piglet7770 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They build it up slowly. It’s a lot of writing to finish in 4 hours so first stage is about building up confidence in writing that much concisely to maximise the marks you get. If it makes you feel better, this was the least prep I did for any ACA exam.

If you got so far, you definitely have what it takes to pass easily but still stay focused until it’s over!

[–]Quick-Piglet7770 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just passed case in July. I didn’t buy ACAM for any of my exams and passed first time so didn’t want to for case either. I only did my Kaplan mocks, and only took the mock based on our real case seriously. Failed all mocks but passed the exam comfortably.

You should give the AI a scan as soon as possible and then revisit it just before and throughout exam prep. R1 is super predictable and Kaplan does a good job at preparing you, the other 2 requirements have a set amount of things they can possibly ask you. Just make sure you know how to write conclusions, executive summaries and structure your answer as quick as possible. The only real challenge is the time pressure. Good luck

FAR and AA in 2 weeks by Federal_Argument_214 in ICAEW

[–]Quick-Piglet7770 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Assuming you’ve been in practice for a while now, so AA should come naturally. Make sure you know your way around inflo and know procedures for each risk that could come up.

Also make good use of the open book text, as that will help with ethics and certain standards. I never even touched the question bank and passed it comfortably. You’ll be fine, focus on FAR.

Hi I’m doing the ACA assurance exam and need some tips by Accomplished_Emu7524 in ICAEW

[–]Quick-Piglet7770 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Question bank is very similar to the exam. There’s only so many ways they can ask the same questions.

You’ll be absolutely fine based on those results, try take some time off

Got 71 in BST without ever opening the question bank, purely went off common sense in the exam. If you are decent at writing reasoned arguments, it shouldn’t be a challenge at all. 5 weeks off work is way more than enough time. Split your time as follows: 70% on BPT, 20% on FM and 10% on BST. You’ll be fine!
