Hi there. Thought I'd start this thread. Can't see one for the coming academic year. Just signed up for this course. Wondering if anyone else around in the same boat??

Theory is going to be my down fall. I'll give it my best shot

Spend the day going through past papers doing just the theory, it's quite repetative. You'll be surprised at how much of it you know. I just keep saying 50%, that's all we need. I'm trying not to panic about it cos I'll just freeze then.

Has anyone any tips for FA? I feel as it’s completely over my head. I’ve accepted the fact I’ll be repeating it but still want to give it my best shot.
I've just done millions of questions and watched the revision workshops. Going to watch them again today and tomorrow and hope for the best, ðŸ€ž

I personally think if you've done the questions out you'll be good. I spend last week doing just the theory. There's one full question and and a question in question 3 and a few 5 markers in other questions. My feeling is if I have the theory down you've a good chance of passing.

I hate business mgt!!! I'm trying to learn the last 3 chapters as best I can, take my two questions from section c. Hopefully get a bit of other stuff I can bull sh1t in in the other sections and scrape the 50%

I think this is good advice too. The last 3 chapters are only 55 odd pages. If you only studied them and aced them that’s enough to pass! Realistically if you aim for 20/25 that’s 40%, you’d pick up 10% between the other 2 wquestions. I struggle with section B.

Feel like a headless chicken with bm, literally nothing going in. Wondering if I shd just chalk it down to a fail and concentrate on the other 3 and resign myself to the fact that I'll have to resit it in August

jkbah

Yes. The business mgt one it's terrible. I feel asleep watching it. It's my most hated subject anyway. Still a fortnight to go. Can fit in a good bit before then. Hopefully!!

Did anyone do the finincial accounting workshop today? I had booked in but my little fella was sick and my other half couldn’t get out of work. Raging as it’s the one subject where I literally don’t know my debits from my credits. I’m a lost cause I think

Hope your little guy is feeling better.
I didn't do the workshop but it will most likely be available to buy online on the website. I know there's one there already. They're 30 euro to download.
I will probably end up doing it online too but wanted to see what the content is first. I'm struggling a bit with suspense accounts and account corrections. Trying to get my head around it but there's a few ones I keep getting caught on. And I haven't looked at non-profits yet......

Tip we were given in relation to bm and law is to focus on sample papers as that's the pool thr examiner takes the questions from

That’s not always the case. I did first year last year and nothing from the sample law papers came up in the exam, not even the compulsory question. There were lots of complaints. It might be different this year after the feedback from last year but I wouldn’t be focusing all my studies on sample papers.

A good bit of the business management was based on the sample papers tho.

I'll probably buy the tax and accounting revision workshops as those are the ones I'm struggling with.

I didn’t find the business one great. Taxation was absolutely well worth it

I feel like that. Especially with the theory. I suppose all we can do is keep going and hopefully all the nuggets of information will stick.

I’m the me. Struggling now. We had a BM assignment - it was basically 5 questions. We had the use of the book to answer the questions. I got 50%. He said I didn’t put in enough theorists and my answers needed to be longer. I thought once I got the point across I’d be ok. Now I’m panicking

ash23

I'm struggling to even start my revision. I think the best thing is to do the exam papers too. I've printed all of the accounting ones and going to start there.
I'm not too worried about the theory ones as I tend to do better with theory than the practical subjects.
I feel I've bitten off more than I can chew with this course and if I pass I'll probably just take the cert and run and not do Year 2

I'm finding bm so hard to revise...its mind numbingly boring!! Any tips.....please?!!!!

Can I ask what way people are revising? I was reading each chapter and going over the practice questions then. Last night one of our teachers totally shot down that method. Said the best way was to do the past papers and sample papers. For some subjects like law, you can print 11 papers 2014-2017 plus the 3 samples.

At this point, I would spend much less time reading and much more time practising. Make mistakes and learn from those mistakes so that you don't repeat them in the exam - this is more effective than reading.
In addition to past and sample papers, there is MyRevision available to you. Generate short quizzes when you can only do a short study session. Many of the longer questions are based on past exam questions.

I'm not going either. Full day if getting the kids sorted too. Though they are supposed to be good, some people from my class went to the last ones. They were very good though and shared their notes. I just keep trying to reassure myself that we it need 50% so hopefully I'll know enough ðŸ€”ðŸ€”

Maz2016

It is s long day and expensive too. And as you say maybe even wasted time

jkbah

FEELing the pressure alright. Think I’ll buy the revision after. Our lecturer said they will be available to purchase. Can’t afford a day of travelling to Dublin and back, all that time wasted.

Maz2016

It’s hard though when you do a full day at work as well. Are you doing the revision courses?
