When you start a new paper AAT students need to take a look at the exam/practise assessment before they do anything else, says e-Careers leading expert Karen Groves (pictured).
She stressed student should know what the exam looks like, and so know what they are aiming for.
Groves admitted that it can be a bit scary, but it will pay off in the long run!
She also felt it stops a lot of the questions as you go through your studies.
This advice is especially true for Level 4, where there are those dreaded templates.
No-one wait until the revision phase to know what you will be facing come exam day, explained Groves. If you look at the exam assessment on day one then you will know about the drop-down options and cash-based templates.
