Post exam guidance
Certificate in Business Accounting
We do not publish post exam guides for the Certificate level subjects because they are examined using computer based assessment.
You can download post exam guides from the May and November 2001 sittings - when they were paper-based exams. Use the post exam guides along with the past exam questions.
You will need Adobe Acrobat software to view the PDF files. If you do not have this installed on your computer, you can download it free from the Adobe website.

Professional qualification
Approximately three to four months after each exam we produce a post exam guide for each subject in the Professional qualification. They are essential reading - and are best used with the relevant exam paper.
The guides look at each question in detail, highlight common mistakes and give suggested approaches.
They cover:
- The rationale for each question
- The suggested approach to answering each question
- The marking guide
- The examiner’s comments
TOPCIMA
Since May 2005 we have produced a post exam guide after each TOPCIMA exam. They are essential reading and are best used with the relevant TOPCIMA case material.
As the TOPCIMA exam is similar to the old syllabus 2000 Management Accounting Case Study exam, you can also use the examiner’s reports from past Case Study exams held between May 2001 and November 2004, along with the relevant Case Study material, when preparing for the TOPCIMA exam.
All Post Exam Guides are available from the Study Resources area.
