Best of luck Whiplash. I hear it’s very difficult these days. I managed to scrape through a few years ago, don’t think I’d have made the cut these days.
Whiplash will ace this exam. I have complete confidence in him.
Good luck Whiplash.
Good Luck Whiplash.

I am on breakdown number 166 now.I have an amazon rainforest worth of notes in my room.People are literally bringing in the kitchen sink with them but I have decided to wing it along with a summary folder of notes.Treat it as closed book exam.
There will be many prayers said to St Jospeh of Cupertino.Need all the help I can get.

You’ll be absolutely fine. You are a bright intelligent chap with a great aptitude for hard work.

Anyone going to the Leinster Chartered Accountants wine tasting evening in The Westin on Wednesday week? I’m in two minds given the crucial Celtic-Spartak Moscow game is on that evening. The €32 cover charge might encourage a few undesirables too.
Wine tasting wanker wonks in the Westin on a Wednesday?
I don’t blooming think so.
FAO Whiplash:
How did you get on in the FAEs mate? I believe the results were out last Friday.
How did you get on, whiplash?
Passed elective Farmer but failed core.
I’m not sure if you’re familiar with the layout of the paper since you would have passed under the old system but I got competent in every area except in one area called business leadership.That fucked me big time.
I am fine with Financial reporting,Audit,Tax,Finance etc but they fail me on a subject consisting of marketing,HR,Ethics and strategy.
Its pretty sickening and I feel very depressed about the whole situation but I need to lick my wounds,stop feeling sorry for myself and when chance arises again - take it.
The thing hardest to come to terms with is- I dont think I would have changed a whole pile with regards to preparation.So I’ve come to the realisation that a lot of it is down to chance and luck on the day.This was a sobering thought as I drank myself into oblivion over the weekend.Other people in the same boat are switching to ACCA but I haven’t come this far to fall at the final hurdle.I still have the elective to show for my efforts.
However I’m going to play my cards again. As the saying goes ; the sweet isn’t half as sweet without the sour.
Sorry to hear that.
You sound as if you viewing it in the best possible light which is good to see. Keep plugging away at it - you’ll defo come good in the end.
As Tinnion said, we passed them under the old system and to be honest I wonder if we would have gotten through this new system.
That subject you failed sounds like the old Multi D. Git of a thing to study for as it is so waffley.
