My cashflow worked out perfectly. I left out one heading, but I don't think any marks go for it.

I was out by something in my service but the top half worked so hopefully I'll only lose about 10 marks or so.

Budgeting, I'm hoping to get at least 70/80. If so, I'll be really happy as it's so easy to lose marks in it. Also, there was a trick in it, so I'm happy I noticed it :L

i would recommend just exam papers and revise wise. But if you want to buy a book the best is modern accounting

I would but only if you enjoy getting things to work out. Its differnent with accounting. If you like it youll be good at it and be going for an A. Is a subject that requires constant practice. And if you do practice you will get rewarded.

I'd recommend doing all the papers. Also, try to understand the principles behind the workings as it'd be easier to work them out then. I used the Christy tyrell book (I think that's his name. He's the Chief examiner in Accounting.) It was ok, bit long winded but you can't go wrong by it as he takes questions from the book for the exams.

In my opinion you dont need a book. If you work from the exam papers and from mock papers you should be fine. Also Chemhickey made the most important point of all about understanding accounting. Last year i tried to learn off differnent workings which is fine if your looking for no more than a C1 which is what i got but is essential that you understand the workings and if you fully do there in no way you wont get an A1

and cover all topics. Leave out one if you find it too difficult at max and practice practice practice. And dont forget your theory
