Synopsis

New revised edition which has been fully updated for the lessons learned in the November 2013 exam (Lighter Tread Ltd). We have added 20 more pages of analysis and tips based on our work with taught course students during the November 2013 session. New chapters dedicated to Requirement 2 and Requirement 3. Further Appendix added on how to write relevant practical issues and recommendations.

Includes £20 discount on ACA Simplified mock exams and improved planning sheets, developed in consultation with students during the November 2013 session.

Introduces the ACA Simplified "40 Task Approach(TM)" to cracking the ACA Case Study. Organised into 20 Chapters and 5 Appendices, this book will take you through our carefully designed and practical approach to gaining the marks you need to pass. Includes detailed "student eye" views from 2 students who increased their grades by 20 percentage points each between July 2012 and November 2012 using the 40 Task Approach(TM).

Our unique approach is completely focused on the mark scheme and unlocks the secrets of a pass through a simplified approach which is radically different from the standard "4 Column Planning Grid" endorsed by other providers.

This book is aimed at both re-sit students and first timers who wish to ensure a pass.

If you have found yourself failing Case several times without really knowing why (and whilst writing a report which you thought was good), this book will help you understand what you are doing wrong - we are careful at all times to highlight the difference between a good report and a good grade in Case. All chapters are based on practical and sensible advice which is now proven across 4 exam sessions and which has been further developed through close consultation with recent students.
