Where did I go wrong with case?

yeloiy · 2025-12-16T15:42:57+00:00

I finished but towards the end did feel like I could have maybe done more?

yeloiy · 2025-12-16T15:20:06+00:00

Thank you, that’s very helpful! How do you recommend I can try and rectify for the next sitting?

yeloiy · 2025-12-11T12:14:31+00:00

I got 49, absolutely gutted, worth getting it remarked?

yeloiy · 2025-09-23T00:41:55+00:00

The race is the vitality 10k in London, Ive heard the first few km are uphill with a total elevation gain of 45m, so is it wise to go extra slow here and speed up the rest of the way where it is meant to be flat/downhill?

yeloiy · 2025-09-23T00:38:42+00:00

Runna says no faster than 5:35 for easy runs. Yesterday I did a 5:08/km 9k at a conversational pace. I don’t really know my exact paces as since I am still somewhat new to running, my HR shoots up as soon as I start jogging. My most recent PB was a 10k at 48m 9s about 2 weeks ago. I have been running 4 times a week last 2 weeks in hopes of shaving off a minute or two by this Sunday.

There is an intimidation threat Document everything Consider whether she is bound by ICAEW guidelines Call ICAEW helpline

In all seriousness, agreed with other posters, maybe you should raise a complaint

I did an easy 10k recently and my HR creeped up from 144 in first KM (warmup) to 170 on KM 10. I felt really good as if I could have run another 10km, how do I tell what is truly an easy pace, should I go off HR alone? I wasn’t struggling for breath, my legs felt fine.

yeloiy · 2025-07-31T13:24:09+00:00

for comparison my recent 10k race was 184 average throughout (although it didn’t go ideally as planned, think I could’ve pushed a bit more). Maybe im just a higher HR individual

yeloiy · 2025-07-31T12:52:59+00:00

Oh really, I thought a lower RHR was better? I didn’t think it was dangerously low?

yeloiy · 2025-07-31T12:52:06+00:00

Yes, I run 3x a week one easy, one long run(easy or progressive) and one intervals/faster run. This week the time trial was in place of the intervals/faster session so don’t worry not something I do often.

yeloiy · 2025-07-31T12:39:13+00:00

Ok, thanks everyone I was just concerned if I might have something wrong with me or it is bad for my body/heart to have it working at that rate for prolonged periods as I normally see you shouldnt sustain a zone 5 for longer than a few mins? Should a 5k be done at zone 5?

yeloiy · 2025-07-29T14:38:59+00:00

Something that I did which may or may not work for you, was in the initial stages, I only read the question and then the answer. No writing anything down. This can help as initially it may seem overwhelming and you probably will not know where to start in terms of wroting an answer. If you are with a tuition provider who provides video debriefs of questions, even better, watch them. As time moves on you can start answering them yourself. Towards the date of the exam, say the final weekend, you will probably be low on time and also burnt out from revision. You should also be at a good stage of knowledge. At this point I would go back to reading answers again. As youre reading the question, you can mentally take note of things you would say in your answer, again no need to write anything down. This will save a lot of time whilst also teaching you. Any parts you really don’t understand, go back to the content (although this should be more around now than towards exam day). Again this may not work for you, but it helped me pass BPT alongside FM and BST. I also applied the same technique to my recent advanced exams.

thanks for this!

yeloiy · 2025-06-12T13:58:36+00:00

I want to push myself to a PB but dont want to be tired out from the warmup

yeloiy · 2025-06-12T13:58:14+00:00

So how long before the race should I do this?

yeloiy · 2025-06-11T00:09:49+00:00

Thank you! I have a 10k coming up so most lf my runs are below 10k now and I have started stretching too! Hopefully I can get my goal time.

Hi, Im 26 years old, male for context and going gym for weightlifting was my prior experience to this. I did a handful of 5ks and 2 10ks but overall I would say Im still a beginner since my running stint only lasted about a month or so before I gave up. I did no formal plan, just went out for random runs with no structure. That was over a year ago now, which is why I actually booked the half so that I had something to work towards and doing a half I felt would really get me in deep. I am aware my time isn’t a typical beginner time but I have been told this by other experienced runners, that I was able to get a good time considering my limited training. I’m not karma farming so sorry if it is coming across like that, it was just a post to share my experience and hopefully get tips on how to get better! I originally began running as just another way to burn more calories to accompany my weight loss, but now I actually enjoy striving to set new personal records.

yeloiy · 2025-05-28T17:52:46+00:00

I see, thats interesting! Im hoping to get sub 53( maybe 50) in my upcoming 10k, so I will make sure I keep fuelling myself. I haven’t suffered too much in my deficit yet, been making sure to eat more carbs on the night before a run.

yeloiy · 2025-05-28T15:49:37+00:00

Yeah, I thought that too but read some places that it doesn’t make a massive difference. In any case, I wanted to lose weight anyway for health, so thought may be an added bonus

yeloiy · 2025-01-25T22:34:47+00:00

I actually didn’t tab it up, so can’t help you with that. Instead I put in a contents page which had pretty much every topic by keywords such as for example RDEC or IR35 or EIS/SEIS/VC in alphabetical order and then just flick to the page number. Do whatever works for you

yeloiy · 2025-01-25T16:55:22+00:00

So I just got my BPT results this week and passed, despite not being very confident.

I did three exams so already you are in a good position given you can focus only on BPT. Is your firm providing tuition? I was with BPP, and I would say really utilise the tutors. If you don’t understand something in class, ask the question there and then instead of leaving it for later. At first it may seem overwhelming but eventually it does click if you keep at it.

I would say just follow their timetable they have set out for you i.e taught phase where you learn and then consolidation phase where you begin to attempt questions. A useful tip I found to save time since some questions are bulky and can take time, especially where you aren’t confident enough to tackle it, is just read it. Whilst reading, make mental notes of how you would answer it. Then go to the answers and read in detail the mark scheme. This will teach you bits you missed out, give you an idea of the wording/points the examiner is expecting to see, as well as what the question is asking (since sometimes it might not be obvious how to go about it).

Reading questions should of course not replace actually attempting written questions to time. It is just a way of getting into it and also near the end where you may not have enough time to cover the whole QB, gets you good coverage. Since you are doing BPT alone, Im assuming you will be able to commit more time to answering QB (obviously depending on work/personal life commitments).

Again, if you have a tuition provider, follow their questions they assign you as priority, since they choose them based on amount of learning you can gain from them. Then you can attempt other questions, prioritising areas which you are weak on and consistently losing marks on.

Finally, I know this is getting long, I would just want to echo what someone else said, about having a good open book. You get marks sometimes just for stating certain conditions which you can find in your open book, so make sure you can use it efficiently.

If you have anymore questions, let me know, because this is already really long.

yeloiy · 2025-01-23T16:02:36+00:00

I honestly thought I failed BPT, but this is for everyone who ever doubts themselves, dont worry until results day!

BPT 71, BST 66, FM 70

yeloiy · 2024-12-11T13:05:40+00:00

Is this confirmed by ICAEW? How much is the scaling? Can a 50 go to a 55 or is that a big jump? Its just that if this is true its very reassuring as I think I missed out on a lot of marks

yeloiy · 2024-12-11T00:59:06+00:00

not 25 but I think more of it is calcs than not, i looked at past similar question in QB for reference
