elaine:
ask your teachers- they should have access to some website with the modified VCAA exams for the new course. i forget what the site is called.
and if not, you can always buy exams :) Neap are good

I did Neap 08 today at school under exam conditions. I was really sad because I didn't finish and chose to skip closing Profit and Loss Summary account and working out capital to post to ledgers so I lost something like 6-8 marks.
And then I got angry at myself and was like... WHO THE FUCK LOSES 6-8 MARKS BECAUSE THEY DONT FINISH!!! GRR
So anyway I think Im gonna work out an exam strategy, because it seems that the thing that takes the longest for me is doing the BDA's especially when they are a bit tricky... so in reading time I think Ill focus on that and then head straight into the section where BDA's are. Everything else was easy as. It was just I was too slow. And also I might consider reverting to dot point answers for theory questions. But I dont feel comfortable writing dot points. I feel like Ill get marks taken off or something...
*waits for someone to give exam advice*

yeah that's why neap are good coz they are so hard :P
i agree, time is really tight for accounting exams
haha i feel extremely uncomfortable writing the answers in dot points- it seems too informal and un-examish.

Same.
Have you done 2008 Neap? I didn't particularly think it was hard. Only the BDA's would be where I could have lost marks. My theory was pretty good. I was really cut because on my last sac that was outta 50 the teacher had marked 33 marks of it and i was on 32.5/33.
Do you just go from start to finish elaine? or do u have a differnt approach?

Well for me, i stuck to a minute a mark, worked through the exam from start to finish and anything that i thought was hard and would take time, i would skip it and go back to it at the end. Worked for me.
