need to pass
This is my first time sitting any Business sub and I hear a-lot of people complaining about Accounts, should I be scared and what do I need to know on how to handle the studying???
like maths accounts takes alot of practice. good luck
My advice to you is...study every topic. Although it is good to practise using past papers, do not expect the most common topics to be tested. That was the downfall of many students this year. In my opinion the paper was not difficult, with questions based on simple topics like the cash book etc. However many prepared for the more challenging areas and I think that was the downfall. In all, just study hard, organise your time well and I think you will be fine!
I wonder what the students in Trinidad r saying? This exam was showing us expect the unexpected.
Really great post. I will recommend it to my friends.

Hey,everyone who did this exam. I wonder what the students in Trinidad r saying? This exam was showing us expect the unexpected. I did something that i shouldnot have done, i wonder if i will get penalized for it. If anyone who works at cxc is reading this u will see the mistake. I did not know that i could ask for more paper until after i saw someone got additional papers.
Can i get a response from other caribbean islands. We in Jamaica want to know if its just us who are complaining.
in my center we werent given any additional paper to do the exam
The exam was different yes but passable different no maunfacturing a/c etc. but i think i passed.
