I'm hoping so, alot of stuff is still very fresh in my mind so fingers crossed....are you doing Part 3 in August?
God no, I'm even thinking of taking a year out, have to pay for course myself and use hols as study leave. Found it a tough year financially. But I'll see, might win the lotto:D0 -

I dont know how people do the part 3 in the Autumn after taking the part 2 in the summer.
The part 2 is difficult but the step up to part 3 is enormous. Its like there should be another year in between put they just put it all onto the part 3. You are examinable on everything you have learned since part 1 which is great fun!
After sitting my accounting exams, i can honestly say they come nowhere near as difficult as the part 3 exams!!
Anyways.....congrats to everyone0 -

Missed most of the lectures myself due to illness but im taking it that this exam will be very similar to the previous 2 as out of all those chapters I cant see what else they would ask unless they decide to go for theory based questions in which case I will be in big trouble!

Hi All,
Ill be starting Part 2s in October any advice? Are the lectures every weekend and will have to say goodbye to my weekends?!
Yes The lectures are once sometimes twice a month all day Saturday and Sunday so you will need to be disciplined, its very tempting to stay in bed on a cold sunday morning during the winter
The weekends that you don't have lectures will prob be spent catching up on study etc but the months go by very fast and before you know it you are finished so the only advice I can give is be disciplined and stay on top of the work as much as possible because its very detailed and the exams are tough and i've only done the Part 1 exams sitting Part 2 in August!
If you are exempt from Part 1's I would recommend getting hold of the manuals and reading through them as the material is examinable at Part 2&3 also. It would be good to refresh your memory before you start the Part 2's as you wont have time once you get into it !
Best of Luck0 -
Hi Guys,
Hope to qualify with CPA next month, and thinking of pursuing Tax as I have always found it interesting and enjoyed the study more so than the other subjects.
Are the AITI exams much tougher than CPA or do they involve the same amount of study and dedication???
I've heard they are extremely hard to pass. My job is really flexible so study time is not an issue.
I am working in Industry.
We are planning to start a family next year and I'm concerned if they are that difficult I might just leave it.
Any response will help, thanks 0 -

Congrats to all who passed, massive achievement!!
So for us poor souls starting part 3 in Oct, what advice do you have??? Start study now??:D:D
It's not about the study- its about the application.
Go back as far as you can and do past papers- do one years sitting a day- i.e two sets of past papers.
I actually failed tax management the first time I sat it and after going over past papers back a number of years I came back and got in the 60s
The difference is you get good at all the practical things you are doing in the exam, picking up the books, finding the relevant sections and extracting the answer and repeating, all the while getting faster and more familiar with the legislation. When you study you tend to compartmentalise things, i.e you are learning about shares, and only shares but shares interact with pensions, share for share relief for CGT, transfer of undertakings, retirement relief etc and come up as a small section of a question.
Unless you are adept at the procedure of answering these questions and practicing it you will not do well- hense the high fail rate.
I learned the hard way. Past Papers over and over and over until you almost know the sections off.0 -
