Hi nat45

Don't give up.  We all have stumbling blocks that we hit and it's just a matter of getting your head round it.  Perhaps if you type out the example / question we can try and give you ways to understand it better. 

Regards

As Liz says - please don't give up - you've done so much already to get as far as you have.

Have you had any experience at putting it all into action yet? If not, perhaps you should consider this, as once you begin to actually practise it all, it begins to fall into place better. It may be that you're filling your mind with too much at the moment and need a break from learning.

Level 3 is a very 'specialist' area of bookkeeping that, although useful to be aware of, isn't essential  early in your career for everyday bookkeeping for small businesses up to trial balance, where the client is supported by an accountant.

Just remind yourself how GOOD you felt when you'd passed level 2 :-)

Hi, I agree with Carol Dont give up, if you have passed level 2 then why not set up from that, maybe even converting to the new level of exams. I set up after level 2, and havnt yet found the time to complete level 3 but im thinking now, that I might upgrade to the new system so that I can do not for profit etc. Just an idea, very best of luck in your new career. Go for it and dont give up,

 

very best of luck

Don't give up- i agree level three is much more taxing - I have completed the manual and am revising the computerised (I was studying under the old syllabus) and agree that sometimes just when you think you "got it" a question is posed (maybe in a slightly diffferent way, and you feel liek you are back to square one.  Keep going!!!!! and good luck!!!!

Although I've had a training provider for all the way and got their materials which I value a lot I always looked into other books/resources many which can be accessed online for free. A new perspective of the same thing might help. I know - as others said the same thing - there's always 1 more twist when you think you finally got it, BUT do not give up! by the time you get to the end you're gonna say how on earth I did not know this :)

If I can help you with resource suggestions please do not hesitate to drop an e-mail.

Hi nat45,

I agree with all the others,  don't give up.

I  Started on my level 3 in April and also nearly gave up several times but found a new friend "Google".   if I couldn't quite grasp the lesson I would Google the scenario and it's quite surprising how much information is out there.  Even old icb forum posts.  Often found a simpler explanation that made me think "oh, that's what they're on about".

Glad to say I've just submitted my last assignment and slowly trailing back through to revise.

If I can be of any help please feel free to email me at amanda.campbell75@sky.com. 

Good luck with your studies and hang on in there.

Hi Nat,

I agree with the others, don't give up.  Having said that, why not think about changing how you learn.  Distance learning doesn't work particularly well for me so I went to evening classes at the local college nad did HNC Accounts which got me my level 3 ICB.  I'm now doing the HND.  I find it much easier to speak to someone face to face and get them to explain things as much as I need.  I also find it useful to bounce ideas off my peers.  

So while I'd say don't give up, maybe look at how you learn best.

Good luck,

Kris
