FAE 2018

So, here we go... Book collection for the AAFRP next weekend.

Anyone else struggling to decide on an elective? I work in audit but I can't see myself staying there beyond training contract, and think the material in APM is just more interesting than the Audit elective. Such a difficult decision though, and I don't want to pick one and be regretting it this time next year.

Does anyone know what % you have to get in the core exam to be able to repeat in January if necessary?

Once you fail you fail as far as I am aware. You do not need to get a certain percentage to be able to resit an exam.

Ok thanks, just read somewhere on here that the re-sits were for people who marginally fail wasn’t sure

It's firm dependent from what I've heard. You only get three attempts so if you fail Jan, next August is your last chance. A lot of firms don't want to take that risk because January pass rates are a lot lower.

Hi all.

Below are my notes that I have compiled for the exams next week. My main "A Folder" of notes were too big to upload on this but can be accessed through this link

https://www.dropbox.com/s/71ubqw29a18yipv/FAE%20A%20Folder.pdf?dl=0

I hope these notes help someone!

Funny, myself and my friends found the comp technically easier. Just comes down to what suits you individually.

2 down, hopefully I can bin the notes after the results haha.

No, not thinking about it. Dissecting any of them isn't going to help anyone. You've done your best, it's out of your hands now. Same for all of us

I know your right but it’s so difficult to switch off - best of luck to all

Was waiting for an investment appraisal question that never came.

The only good thing is if everyone found it difficult they will likely take that into consideration when marking. Also they are stopping APM this year so they won't want a lot of people resitting it I'm hoping.

LoLo86ACA

first I have heard of them stopping APM?

Just don't forget to mention it in the survey. Closes Wednesday at noon

"The new education programme will be ready for the start of the 2018/19 academic year. Major changes include:
• Three new final-year (FAE) electives, in Financial Services, Public Sector and Advisory
• The Public Sector elective will be delivered in collaboration with Chartered Institute of Public Finance and Accountancy (CIPFA), while the Financial Services elective is in partnership with the Institute of Banking. The existing Advanced Performance Management elective will be re-designed and re-named as ‘Advisory’ to focus on commercial decision-making"

Yeah, keeping audit and tax, scrapping APM, introducing financial services elective and I think a strategy one

Edit: pixie beat me to it! And has the full info

LoLo86ACA

fishy_fishy

Only APM if that's any use to you. Why would you want them!

I broke my heart the last few weekends but I have them up to date at last! You can't change the start dates on entries anymore, but the Training Support people in CAI can help with that.

The next issue is trying to grab my mentor for review and sign offs....

I have my diary up to Jan 18 - still need 101 days but ill try to that this week - very difficult - do you think that will have an impact on the results - worried sick ill be resitting and contemplating starting from scratch with a new subject - dont know if thats a good idea or not?
