Given
its almost half way through the academic year, coursework deadlines are coming
closer and exam timetables are soon to be finalised for publication, I think
it’s a good idea we all begin to plan well ahead!
As there
has been a change in the term structure, it is possible for us to have some
exams in April (Alarm bells!). So I have taken the initiative to revise the
course content early rather than starting in the Easter Break. Small chunks of
revision over time will be more effective than just waiting till Easter and
trying to remember everything that we have learnt from September. Particularly
with the financial and management accounting modules, the questions can get
quite difficult and we are taught the methods on the basis that we can apply
this method to any situation. So practice a lot of past questions so you get
the jist of what the exam is going to be like. Also, certain topics may have
more significance than others in the exam. For example, second year students
have a financial accounting exam which has three or four questions based on the
same topic but we have to apply so many different techniques to each question.
If you
are finding anything difficult then now is the time to speak to your tutor,
don’t ignore the problems because they won’t go away, they will just pop back
up in your exam!

There
are also support classes which can be useful for some students who feel like
they need to go over some things they missed in the lecture or tutorial so
don’t miss out.
Create a
timetable or plan to break down each module and their topics so you can revise
each topic slowly and you should be ready by the time it comes to April/ May
Exams J
Good
Luck my fellow Accountants if you need any help just ask!
