HI all

Has anyone got any recommendations on what software to use or not use for the M7 examination.

I have access to both Xero and Sage 50c but was wondering if the reports are adequate.

As I don't know what is expected I am undecided what to use.

The main reason for my question is I prefer Xero but am worried if i choose Xero i may not be able to complete the exam.

Once started there is no going back eeeekk!!

Thanks 

Louise

Hi there,

You actually only need bookkeeping software for the A3 exam. The M7 is a bit different from the old ABA8 (which did use software). If in doubt I'd double-check the syllabus and then do a mock paper. They are a simulation of the real exam.

The syllabus is on this page:

and mocks are in the Shop:

and you can always give our lovely team a call on 0203 405 4000 if you need any help.
