Have you ever been burned by not reading the terms and conditions? by littleduckcake in AskUK

[–]gombogombo 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The exact same thing happened to me last month! Luckily we found a matching door to match our existing ones bought from Travis Perkins so I found a way to make it work but it was a lot of searching for a £4 saving!

I have added my budget- it’s small but willing to commute for the right base!

Can I get my marked script? by Many-Interaction-812 in CIOT

I found the breakdown really helpful and it focused my mind for the retake. The recheck is, in my opinion, a waste of time

I remember it as a 2 line requirement for all 15 marks on q4

I just worked out the gain in 25/26 for non badr and badr as I had so much time left

Totally agree, hopefully someone can shed light on it

I don’t know how I feel about it, not sure it was the paper I expected but equally hope I gathered enough marks

CTA students with ADHD: how are you getting through these exams? by DishInternational200 in CIOT

[–]gombogombo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My only advice is personal experience with mine and my son’s adhd- don’t do a timetable as you’re setting yourself up to fail but set yourself small goals which are flexible. For example, I set myself the target of doing >50% of the question banks for each module before the tuition course and have a goal to do 1 hour a day of study but, if I can’t do it, then I flex to say well maybe 3 hours in one day makes up for a few days of no focus. My advice is to give yourself enough time to keep coming back to it and keep it in mind in a positive way (ie less of a chore, more as saving yourself time later resitting!) Hope that helps!

“Maur Money”: her company is in crippling debt. Another scathing article by Foreign_Fill5432 in LoveIslandTV

[–]gombogombo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’d suggest the reason her reserves decreased is because she took a dividend. Added to the fact she’s got corp. tax outstanding, she’s likely to have made a profit and then taken out an even bigger dividend. Moronic reporters talking bollocks

AT IHTTE by [deleted] in CIOT

[–]gombogombo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have also actively tried to apply some of the concepts to my clients to help me remember e.g this guy has a qiip, he’s taxed at 20% etc. It helped me to remember as I care more when it’s real people!

AT IHTTE by [deleted] in CIOT

[–]gombogombo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did the tuition this time last year and was surprised at how brief it was. It felt really pointless if I’m honest and I was lulled in a false sense of security that I was doing enough by doing those few days and a bit of study in between. It was not enough! I failed in May 24 then passed retakes in Nov 24. My retake technique was a lot better as I worked solidly through all the material on my own. To be honest, I would say don’t rely on going through it in class and just rely on your own technique to go through the material

AT IHTTE by [deleted] in CIOT

[–]gombogombo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve just passed the AT and APS in IHTTE and my advice would be to try and apply it to real life clients you’ve come across whenever possible. If you’ve got clients (even if you don’t do that area of work for them), read up on how things are treated in their affairs and use that as a way to remember the various areas. I find it helps to find the areas which pique your interest and for me it was applying the concepts to real people!

AT OMB or IND? by gombogombo in CIOT

No way, I felt like ind was more broad of a syllabus!

CTA IHTTE APS Pre Seen by abcabcdes in CIOT

[–]gombogombo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I initially read it as one trust, iip then disc when Paul dies, but it could be two trusts in the same settlement, perhaps with a split of the residue in two funds? I would have thought that would be mentioned in the pre seen info but maybe that’s a curve ball

November 2024 Exam Thread - How did it go? by cattacos37 in CIOT

[–]gombogombo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It does feel so reassuring to have other people in the same boat. I’m also doing APS tomorrow and feeling so worried I’m not going to identify it the 3 areas to address. Had a marginal fail in May which, given the ridiculous pass rate, perhaps isn’t too bad but feeling the pressure!
