    Put yourself first.. you get no thanks for the pound of flesh given, no one else will treat your interests as a priority so make sure you do! A difficult thing to learn particularly for younger grads out of uni.

    How quickly after attempting a question that you found difficult would you look at the Mark scheme?

    Hi Paul. I’m enjoying the videos. I subscribed already and commenting for the algo.
    I’ve passed my accounting and in the process of doing assurance. I’m hoping to do tax as well and in a position to do two professional exams (probably AA and FAAR) with some revision before starting at a big4 this September.

      @@ooHashim well done on passing accounting!
      I’ve accepted an offer of a training agreement which is due to start in September. Just waiting for the employment stuff to go through then I’ll relax a little bit.
      I’m also studying assurance as well. I passed accounting in October 2020. Then applying for schemes and personal stuff took over until a few weeks ago. I’ve been independent student since July 2020 I think. I’ve paid for this year as well so I thought I might as well knock off a few more exams.

      @@stanislavadam102 I’m in London. I’ve bought the study manuals and question banks and third party summaries for assurance. For accounting, I took a prerecorded video course. Easier to learn when someone is talking through the concepts.

    Always remember your video when you said someone would ask you at 11pm “where do you think you’re going...?”
    And you’d say “well where do you think I’m going” 😅

    Hey Paul, you mention a six week time before the exam, is that time frame limited for 1 exam only or 2-3 combined?

    • @PaulHarrisYoutube
      @PaulHarrisYoutube  Před 3 lety

      They do it in batches. So you learn 3 topics at once, then you have 6 weeks till you sit 3 exams
