    Is there not a new APM book this year?? if so, I would imagine the cgs from last year one will be outdated.. I did APM in 2015 and we were told that there was a new book in production for 2016.

    Also I did the cgs 2-day course for the AAFRP last year and found it terrible. Failed the AAFRP (NC) and didnt look at their material again. Ended with a Green in FR... I know everyone is different but it was the greatest waste of €140 of the year for me...

    Hope repeating APM works out. It can be an enjoyable subject to study. I skipped 2 indicators in the exam this year to concentrate on the other ones and thankfully it worked. Passed in decile 6... Again may not work for everyone but its definitely a strategy worth considering... Remember 5 RC's will pass you the exam... That was my philosophy anyway.

    Finally thanks Torres for your encouragement throughout the year, I was very low after failing AAFRP but you kept pointing out that its possible to get NC in it and still pass core.. So thanks...!

    I predict low overall successful appeal percentage based on higher pass rates.

    Revision Course for Core or Elective?

    Is this the extenuating circumstances or clerical appeal? I applied for the clerical recheck and heard nothing - I thought the results were out in January?

    I should have gone down that appeal route. Looking at the stats 7% of extenuating appeals are successful vs basically 0% for clerical.

    I failed tax (which I passed in the Mocks!!). I'm doing the revision course, as they institute said you have a better chance passing if you do the course.

    Yeh, nothing to do with the fee.. IMO it is all about technique at FAE. Technical knowledge is almost irrelevant. Finish the paper. Elementary but cost me in the elective.

    Yes i would advise doing the revision course. You get access to the new steps cases which are essential and get to do the mocks and in fairness its cheap for the value. Did it myself and passed 2nd time round.

    I independently passed all FAE subjects over 2yrs and even with legitimate extenuating circumstances they refuse to pass me!! I've worked with so called FAE superstars for years who are brain dead in the field so it just leads me to believe either I'm easy pickings to drain money from or I'm not considered a part of the "elite PO BOX" group. Good luck to everyone considering repeating in 2016, I'll be making the move to ACCA

    Good luck with ACCA. A know a few people who moved and all qualified now.

    I am entering year 7 of this marathon as a result of rejected appeal. I now see an interim assessment has also been introduced for the elective. Another exam..

    Thanks.

    I thought with genuine extenuating circumstances, a sufficiency of 1 in elective despite not finishing the exam (sufficiency 2 the first time) and 6 years of determined effort they might have given me a break but obviously not. Apologies if I sound bitter. Well done to everyone who was successful with your appeal.

    Let the bitterness out ;-) I'm close to taking up boxing just to vent!!!

    I have just signed up for the revision course. Would anyone happen to have a copy of the timetable from last year so I can get an idea of the types of classes that will be held. Thanks in advance
