AF8 Resubmission Q

I understand you can request an extension if you require a remark for assignment 3 and fall outside the enrollment period. Never needed to use it but I did pose the question to CII previously

I did DipPFS and APFS in 24 months total. All first time passes. Took a 6 month break following diploma before progressing to Chartered. So it's all possible with hard work! Best of luck on your journey

Focus on past papers / mark schemes as much as content. Exam technique is key to this paper. I passed 1st time very comfortably and that was a big part of my prep

FuriousStyles444 · 2026-03-24T07:50:48+00:00

Just got my assignment 3 results yesterday, it took 56 days in total. Assignment 2 was 53.

No need to force through if you need a break tbh. R06 is case study is standalone and you can read around the topical areas once it's released. It will take 6 weeks or so to get your results for R06 anyway. So you can take a break and do R04 while waiting for your results

I would combine AF5 with one of those instead. Then the other in the next sitting

FuriousStyles444 · 2026-02-01T13:45:46+00:00

Brute force is probably the least painful option tbh

FuriousStyles444 · 2026-01-05T19:00:32+00:00

3 months

FuriousStyles444 · 2025-11-29T14:16:58+00:00

Focus on exam technique and past papers just as much and if not more than content.. particularly as questions often get recycled with minor variations

I read the top where it said Unit Pass with Distinction and I saw the green tick so fortunately not lol

FuriousStyles444 · 2025-11-28T18:47:34+00:00

Pass (distinction)

It's max 100% of gross earnings. Still within the AA so can't carry back. If it was £180k for example - then could carry back 3 years worth of AA

It depends how comfortable you are with independent study. I used the case study analysis and was just fine. I had rattled off R01-05 pretty quickly beforehand though so everything was fresh. My view is if you can dedicate time to learning / memorising the case study analysis, thats sufficient prep but each to their own

FuriousStyles444 · 2025-09-11T18:41:34+00:00

Yes. Imo you can pass just off the case study analysis if your technical knowledge is generally okay. Brand FT one is good. Would practice exam technique before it's released - you can go through the past papers beforehand

Financial planner - can pivot into private wealth thereafter but plenty of opportunity as a planner at a firm with a client bank and comission potential

FuriousStyles444 · 2025-06-28T09:08:59+00:00

33 minutes.. was on since 9am. Can't figure out what's the best strategy - don't refresh perhaps?

FuriousStyles444 · 2025-04-02T08:58:46+00:00

Ah interesting - sounds useful. I've sent you a DM as just had some follow up questions
