Meh, I actually had a word with the examiner, they reckon you'd have failed miserably but for my intervention.

Actually a tutor sits the exam papers as soon as they become available online a few weeks after the exam, and puts their model answers online. I knew i would have a good chance of passing after i checked through their answers and compared with what i remember my answers being during the exam.

Is MAAT different to AAT? (And no not just by one letter!)

Going on to ACA/CIPFA/ACCA/CIMA ?

MAAT are the letters you can use, Member of the Association of Accounting Techinicians. AAT is just the letters for the association.

CIMA is next. Starting home study a.s.a.p.

Never did AAT as covered enough at university to be exempt.Though from the people I know who have done AAT it gives you a good grounding and you go straight on to the managerial level of CIMA IIRC.

I would give you my books but I've thrown them out in the last month.

Good luck with it, one day you'll be as clever as me :p

Yeah i get exemption from all the CIMA Certificate exams so straight into Managerial level. Just need to decide which papers to sit first now.

Cheers mate.

Have a look on the site as it gives ideas on which routes to take.

4 and 5 are very wordy (5 is the most failed Managerial paper I think)

1 and 2 are proper Management Accounting (well I enjoyed doing them)

7 and 8 are the Finanical Accounting ones. I have never sat the FAT paper (7) so don't know what it's like as I sat it on the old syllabus. 8 was pretty tough but we did cover it over a short space of time, you need to be up on your financial accounts.

Go for 2 at a time every 6 months otherwise it takes bloody ages! I've got to re-take the last strategic level paper and then finally do TOPCIMA.

I started in 2004 :eek:

Yeah i did look at the CIMA website a few times recently to decide which path to take. Financial accounts is no problem, i did 18 months in practice doing about 10-15 sets of quarterly interim/year end accounts a month so shouldnt have much trouble with financial accounting. I think i will do the management accounting papers first while it is still fresh in my head from my final two AAT exams.

Paper 7 is really easy, 1 and 7 are good papers to start on.

wisewood

Just because i like to change jobs more often than i change my underpants doesnt mean i want to change career stu lol

Though, that said, if i failed either of the final two exams i did say all along i would take up knitting and make scarves and cardigans for a living.

Well after i was made redundant at Tradeteam and relocated i just took whatever work i could find at first to keep the money coming in, and then changed again so that i wasnt doing crazy shifts so i could plan the wedding properly.

Then i got a job in accounts after i had started the AAT course. Seems reasonable to me.
