1000000% agree. Think we had very similar experiences! I also only managed to attempt the first 2 questions in the last section B question. Wasted far too much time on A. Hopefully we don’t have to sit it again! All the best to you

@genuiz999 totally! I did the same and had to go back and redo the calculations, I think they were even wrong still after that! This was my first strategic paper. Not feeling very hopeful for a pass. I’ve learnt from it though, will read all the information first next time ???? good luck!

Omg yes it was so weird! I lost so much time in section A, I got confused with the IHT question when I read the next part that said what would you change if he made the gift 6 months later!! I went back and changed my answer, I realise now I messed that up. I put that there would be no NRB at all if he’d made the gift on the original date but I hadn’t considered lifetime tax on the CLT ????
I also wrote that BADR would be available on the sale of the farm. Oh dear.

I was super confused by the VAT question, what were supposed to write if not about di minimis?? I calculated the differences for the capital goods scheme, not even sure if I was supposed to do that either.

I can’t remember much else from the 1st B question, I know I skipped one part of it. And then in the 2nd B question I didn’t even do very good workings for the loss relief one and I ran out of time whilst answering the RDEC question.

I’m so stressed now, I don’t feel I performed well. This next 6 weeks is going to be killer. I’ll also go to sec B first next time.

Good luck!
