    Hi Guy,

    I am currently doing the Accounting Technicians Ireland course and have my exams in May. the actual financial accounting and taxation i think i am ok on but the the Law and business management have me a bit worried! i cant seem to get the information to sink in no matter how hard i try. Has anyone got any hints or tips that might help. Im currently trying to do marketing which is 25% of the exam but its like i am having a learning block?! Any advise or tips would be greatly appreciated. What is the general census on the exam?, as in...is it really tough to do?
    Thanks in advance.
    MrsP

    For me I found doing past exam questions in an open book style environment really helped me absorb it, but I know I learn from writing things out and reading alone does very little for me.

    The knowledge point tutorials got me through it last year, I normally learn
    by writing things out, but found listening in conjunction to reading / writing helped me.

    You don't really need to know the book off by heart as such, but you do need to understand the concepts & be able to put it into your own words.
    If you can think of real life examples of the different concepts that you can
    relate to you may find it easier to remember the concepts.

    Hiya I was in the same position as you last year(ended up not doing the law & ethics exams as I just couldn't go into the exam knowing nothing)
    I sat the management and left after half an hour. I was certain I had failed and had started studying for the repeat in august. Got my results and nearly fell over when I saw I had got 52%😲

    If my memory serves me right there is one question on finance and one on IT. There is only maybe two chapters on each so I read the chapters a few times and did all the past & sample questions. These questions are usually not well answered but if you focus on the exam solutions it may be better
    I didn't learn any of the management as I didn't have the time and couldn't face it tbh
    It is a gamble to leave out a large portion of the course but It may be easier to start with the rest and then go at the management?

    That's my two cents anyways. Hope it helps and good luck with the exams!

    Thank you so much for all the replies, i appreciate it. :)
    For the theory subject it seems to be better to concentrate on the past papers then? I have been listening to the tutorials alright and i have to say although some of them are hard to understand you do pick up on somethings that you miss in the book.
    i have tried so many different ways to study since doing this course and i have to agree writing things out does help so ill have to keep that up. Thanks again ;)
