Hi Which is the relevant GIRO for the SA3 exam this September? I.e. what was the most recent GIRO at the point that the SA3 exam was written. The 2016 GIRO took place on 20th September 2016, so the question is was the Sep 17 exam written before of after that date? Thanks
On one of the original posts on this forum Ian mentions that ''Exam questions get finalised at the start of the calendar year in which they are set (April and September at the same time)" so I reckon it's fair to presume you'd be focusing on the Sept 2016 GIRO.
But bear in mind that the questions in your exam may have been written originally some time ago (and so could have been 'stored up'). So older GIROs could be very relevant too - indeed, sometimes we see exam questions based on GIRO papers from many years before! Probably not what you wanted to hear! Also bear in mind that apparently sometimes they set September and April together, rather than April and September together (if that makes sense!).
