OLD FAE Exams 2010...am I alone

Moore2009 · 10-10-2010 09:07PM #1

Hi guys,

am doing the exams in december, was wondering if any1 has changed there strategy and approach to these exams.... and what theyare doing differently

applehunter · 11-10-2010 01:08PM

Just doing exam questions.

Think thats where I fall down the previous times. Lack of practice under exam conditions and arriving on the day and getting stuck for time as a result.

Usually I leave it to the last 2/3 weeks to do exam q's.

I'm straight into them already now.

Yes - I find that am doing all exam questions now - I have culled my audit notes and only have necessary info with me - <snip>
I also need to be very strict with myself on time - once allocated time on question is up - leave this question and move on -

I am still trying to get my hands on a copy of Advanced Auditing and Assurance - published by the ICAI - does anyone know of someone who would have a copy

the ICAI dont have any left to buy and are waiting for a new version for this years students ....

No mention of Grind Schools (see Charter) - Lets keep this thread open.

Next person will get issued a card.

yeah just doing exam papers as well, its very difficult trying to cull my notes.

Thinking about heading to UCC limerick to study as soon as I get off work.

I think one of the main problems I had in Auditing was the fact that I had too many notes, I had about 4 lever arch folders in the 1st exam and trying to locate the relevant info was tough and awkward.

I tried to condense my notes for the resits and found them more useful, however still failed. I'm just concentrating on past papers from here on in, try to improve my exam technique and see where that gets me.

yeah auditing is a tough one for the amount of notes.
another one is MABF, I have 5 folders for that one, doing my utmost to condense the notes almost impossible.
2 folders - MA
1 folder - BF
1- Folder - past papers/exam papers
1 - folder - BF Manual (ICAI)
1- Folder - Qs and Ans BF (ICAI)

Miss PE · 16-10-2010 02:16PM

I haven't started to study yet - just have Audit to do. How much have u guys done already (hours / Q's).

Hoping to get down to it the week after next - a couple of nights a week and then every Saturday in Nov/Dec.

Controls Q's and timing always are my downfall. Was there any advise given @ the Institute revision course (if any of ye went)?

My only notes are those given out in the original lectures and exam papers - think I've 2 folders.......
