Great tips

[@styledbyrijalo]

Thank you for your content. It is very useful. I am thinking of taking a career change and wanting to start in accountancy but I am not sure if either it is OK to take these courses or better enroll in a longer-lime study. What would be your thoughts on that?

Hi Will, I have just started my AAT L2 and will move on to L3 once completed. My first exam is in the New Year and your videos have been really clear and helpful so far. I was wondering if you could make a video or comment on how much of the exam can be used with a calculator, and then how much is potentially mental arithmetic. It would also be great if you can recommend what to take to the exams and if you recommend any specific tools. Many thanks

[@Willboardman]

Hi! Great to hear they’ve been helpful. So there’s no restrictions on using a calculator in any of the AAT exams so you can use it as much or as little as you’d like. You can use any calculator other than graphical, so you’re still able to use a scientific calculator but it can’t have the ability to store information. In terms of what you can take into an exam, pen or pencil, a clear water bottle and a calculator. You won’t be able to take in your own paper but it will be provided for you within the exam, if it’s not just ask and the invigilator will provide it for you :)!

@Willboardman That's really helpful thanks 👍

quick question can i just buy books like on amazon,study it and then do exams -wherever they might be?

[@Willboardman]

Yes and no :) so you can buy books (if you look in the description they’re the ones I’d recommend). Now you can study yourself but you’ll need an AAT student membership to book and sit your exams. Other than that you’re good to go.

Hi I’m an a level students looking to do level 4 AAT after college. How big of a step up would it be from there? Im aiming to get between 70-80%. I’m worried that I may struggle with it.

[@Willboardman]

I would say it’s feasible, now for most people doing an A level in accounting I’d suggest starting on level 3 but that’s more to get used to the format and terminology of AAT. It isn’t necessary though, so it is possible to jump in at level 4.

[@priyangadeepthi6105]

Hi will Could you pls tell me, does aat L1 exams are hard? I have only two weeks, im scared...😟

[@Willboardman]

Hi, no they’re ok, nothing to worry about, make sure you’ve done a few mocks and as long as you’re passing those you’ll be absolutely fine.

[@priyangadeepthi6105]

Thankyou so much❤

[@Azizkhan-yk8rz]

Hi will I want to start level 2 and also i am a student of BBA and currently working in bookkeeping firm plz guide me

[@Willboardman]

Hi! Definitely feasible to do both you could either start on level 2 bookkeeping or accounting but I’d probably recommend the accounting route. It might be easiest for you to use distance learning but if you prefer face to face look at your local college for evening classes :)!

[@Azizkhan-yk8rz]

@@Willboardman I am from Pakistan unfortunately here is no institute offering assessment of AAT so I would like to take course after if there will any assist in Pakistan I will do exam if not so I have to move somewhere else

[@lindakirby2540]

How many optional level 4 units do you need to do? Is 85% the pass rate for level 4 exams compared to level 2 and 3 being 70%? If so what % do you need for distinction in level 4 please?

[@Willboardman]

Hi Linda, you need to complete 2 optional units at level 4. All AAT level 4 exams remain at 70% the same as at level’s 2 and 3. In order to achieve a distinction you’ll need an average exam score of 90%.
