    Seriously, steer well clear of predictions for Accounting. I was hoping for an A in it but got royally fcuked by predictions and ended up with a D1

    i'll go out on a limb and predict the paper:p

    60's
    -Reval
    -Service
    -Cashflow/Farm

    100's
    - Ratios
    - Published
    - Suspense

    80's
    - Job costing
    - Cash Budgeting



    Of course don't rely on these and cover most of the course;)

    listen to this, anyone that predicted last year, in particularly me was F.cked.
    Make sure you cover everything

    My tips are only little guidelines, everything else must be covered:)

    What is your feeling for the Ordinary level?

    Would you go with.

    Final Accounts, Cashflow, Ratios, Service Firm, Costing???

    em, don't be too worried about the ol

    Final accounts anyway, be good at these.
    There are different types but they vary very little

    Ratios and Cashflow are a guaranteed 50%
    And to be safe with the 100's do Incomplete(more than likely) and service firm it has a chance

    Marginal for the 80's and the budgeting as well to be safe


    So
    - Final A/C
    - Ratios
    - Cashflow
    - Incomplete/Service (I'd nearly say leave you could leave out studying one of these)
    - Marginal
    - Budgeting


    I cant see you going wrong there:)

    ratios question is really handy once ya get used to them.

    people who do final accounts do better than people who do 2 60 markers (see chief examaners report) so i would always say do Q1.

    Q8's are handy. never did question 9 so cant say anything about that one

    that only leaves 1 more question.

    bascilly just work through exam papers use the marking scheme like sunny said. worked for me. got an A2 (but know exatly what i did wrong which is really fustrating)
