Any help would be appreciated. Freaking out a bit as I left the stydy too late...AGAIN

It may sound facile, but knowing your basics will get you through.
Know all your dates for submission. That's anywhere between 5 and 9% right there.
Concentrate on getting the basics of each question completed and you'll pass. Stick strictly to your time limit for each question.
There are more marks to be gained in the first 10 minutes of any question that spending time trying to finish one off.

wouldn't mind a bit of help here too. Abroad trying to study on my own for this exam so out of the loop hints/tips wise. Obviously its fairly straightforward in terms of vat,cgt,it,ct will all get a question(i hope) but any input on the theory question would be much appreciated.

Also, and chance of vat on property?

The only comment I was given is that retirement relief on cgt is long overdue to be asked. I know, this isn't even a scrape of a tip!!!

But a friendly warning to anyone sitting the exam in Cork - the Cork city marathon is held on June 1st so half the roads will have restrictions or are closed altogether so plan your journey to avoid extra stress!!!

well, how did everyone get on?? I thought the paper was pretty sick to be honest. very different to past papers. Group losses and corp tax calc was pretty difficult.

I'm not too impressed with me after this exam, I was expecting better from myself. I thought it was a hard paper even though I studied for it as much as possible. The Moon and Star question felt endless (in fact the whole paper felt endless) and i think i made a complete $#!+ of the last question - the CT one for the 19mths accounts. Could someone superconfident and smart tell me what they did in that question so i can justify feeling so deflated right now...

Did anyone find that they got the irish bands for the credits and capital allowanes all uk figures?

that last c.t. question was a joke, and for only ten marks!! i didn't really have a breeze but split up the accounts into two periods of 7 months and then 12 months. then apportioned the case 1 income. i checked afterwards and i think it should have been the other way around, i.e. 12 mth period before 7 month period. made a complete balls of the whole paper actually. i thin it was a genuinely very difficult paper though so hopefully that is taken into account to some degree.

i taught it was a wierd paper nothing like the past ones.
q5 and 2 took me so long to do and in 5 it is 12 months first then the 7 months i was talking to my lecturer after and she said it was a difficult paper.
i taught q1 was the worst had no idea what to do with the case1 income and the case v i didnt expect that to come up either the way it did
The cgt and vat were ok though except for the apartment bit in cgt did this give him double exposure since he sold it within 6 yrs.

Thought it was a horrible paper. I did self study and and wasn't too familiar with how to surrender the Group Loss..I also did Q5 wrong...

I thought it was a very tough paper. I felt so confident going into the exam but came out thinking I had failed. I thought it was unfair how there was no theory question on it and also in the Ct question, insurance hasn't came up before. I've never seen anything like the last question before even though I did all the questions in the revision book. I put so much into the exam and i though the paper was very hard.
