In a little over a month, ICAEW will release the Advance Information and your study time will be dedicated to getting to know the Case Study business. 

Have you created a solid base?

If you are resitting the Case Study – have you obtained your Marks Feedback and looked at what went wrong?

Do you understand what the examiners are looking for in your report?

Are you feeling confident?

You have already come so far and now is not the time to slow down. In just over 4 weeks you will need to be fully immersed in analysing the AI. If you know the fundamentals of the Case Study exam now, you will ease the pressure in June and July.

Why is a solid base important?

As with many things in life, if you have a solid base to build on you are better equipped to succeed. 

Let’s go back to our racing driver…

Do they know how to drive? Yes. 

But is that enough? No. 

It gives them a base to build upon, but being a racing driver takes more. They need to know how to race! They will spend time getting to know the car, how it reacts in certain conditions and what they need to do to give them the best chance of securing those points. 

Your Case Study exam is no different. 

You have spent years acquiring the technical knowledge that underpins your ACA. This is the base that has got you this far. Now you need to build on that to give you a solid strategy for passing the exam. 

Our Mastering Case Study programme covers the fundamental elements of the Case Study Exam Technique, guiding you through how to analyse the Advanced Information, plan your answer and write your report within the time constraints of the exam. By working on this now you will spend June and July focusing on your analysis and fine-tuning your technique, rather than starting from scratch.
