Common pitfalls
- One of the main reasons why students are unsuccessful
in exams is not reading the question thoroughly!
- Why????
- Panic - instead of taking time to read the requirements
we rush straight into the answer.
- Exam Tip- Always read the opening information and
each task carefully before attempting the question.

FNST- specific exam tips
— Section 1 of the exam requires working tables- you must use
these to obtain ALL marks.
— Don’t be afraid if you have made an error in you workings
you will still pick up good marks for the correct entries.
— You do not need to fill in the workings table to achieve full
marks but it is advisable in order to ensure no marks are
lost.
— When inputting figures commas can be used but are not
necessary, some tasks will not allow you to input commas.

— Entering .00 in an answer is not needed but if you do include you will
not be penalised.
— You need to enter negative figures with either a minus sign – 2367
or with brackets (2367).
— Brackets and minus signs must be used to indicate negative
figures. Unless there is a specific instruction saying otherwise,
brackets and minus signs are interchangeable.
— Please note AAT exams use the UK conventions for figure work
separations and candidates will be penalised if they use non-UK
conventions. This is outlined in the introductions to the CBTs.

FNPF- specific exam tips
— Please note some tasks use follow on marking or own figure
marking. This means candidates will not be penalised twice for
making a mistake.
— You are provided enough space for 100% correct answers in the
CBTs. If you find you do not have enough space for the answer in a
task, it would suggest a faulty approach
— You do not necessarily need to use the whole space to get full marks
— Understanding variances is vital to passing Section 1
