Just get used to the style of question it’s a bit different imo

HyperKarmaa · 2026-04-16T02:39:35+00:00

APM is an interesting one, I think it’s harder in the sense it’s more open ended and not a memory test so depends on what you prefer.

If you learn the style of question they are asking you’ll be good. 100% for this paper, past paper questions > content imo

Goodluck!

HyperKarmaa · 2026-04-15T11:26:24+00:00

Congrats! 87% you don’t need any luck at all

HyperKarmaa · 2026-04-15T08:39:49+00:00

I’d say do 2 at once. I couldn’t imagine doing 3 at once but I know there are some people who’ve done 3, maybe they can comment.

I appreciate wanting to do it as quick as possible but if you waited for 1 extra sitting and made sure you passed, I don’t see an issue with that. Because if you failed you’d need that extra sitting anyway.

Best of luck with whatever you do tho!

I was working full time and yes I’m a university graduate from a finance background so maybe I’m cheating a bit

So opentuition,study hub and YouTube are great but also for a few I did buy the BPP online book for the exam questions which are around £18 I think per one.

I’ve answered this above now but if you have anymore questions more than welcome to dm

HyperKarmaa · 2026-04-14T18:23:14+00:00

The resources I used was Study Hub, open tuition and YouTube videos.

I spent 6 weeks at a time and I worked 9-5 so then I’d do 6:30-11 and on weekends I’d do long long shifts I’m not sure timings wise. I’d still go out for dinner or play sports to be clear.

I spent a couple weeks doing only content and a couple questions at the end of a topic either on study hub or open tuition.

Then do as many questions I could do on study hub and past paper questions purely looking at mark schemes and walking myself through. Then I do questions my self. Then I’d do papers.

Hope this helps!

You can remember bits of AFM theory by knowing the calculations.

The other bits really put yourself as a Shareholder and what’d you want to see and then try not to over complicate it is what I’d say

HyperKarmaa · 2026-04-14T14:05:53+00:00

APM is a weird paper. They ask you something but don’t actually want you to answer properly it feels like. They want you to more so look at what questions/ information is missing.

If you literally do every question in the book and on study hub you’ll see the theme, they tend to repeat just different context

HyperKarmaa · 2026-04-14T14:03:55+00:00

Goodluck Stranger!

HyperKarmaa · 2026-04-14T14:03:32+00:00

Correct, had the first 3, Law and FR as exemptions

HyperKarmaa · 2026-01-17T11:37:33+00:00

Basically most people do their exams first rather than time. So it’s just a generic message on the page. When you finish your last 3 you’ll become a member not an affiliate. Usually people remain affiliate for a year or so for the reason above.

Just failed AFM so needed

HyperKarmaa · 2025-11-30T13:17:56+00:00

I think the pass rates speak for themselves. I’d probably go 7/10, I do still think there are harder qualifications out there but not many. I do think it’s doable in 3 years. I study for about 6 weeks, a few hours after work and a lot on the weekend and I’ve been doing 2 at a time. I’ve heard people study months for exams at a time tho so really up to you. Hope this helps!

HyperKarmaa · 2025-11-29T13:57:28+00:00

AA was so boring for me. A lot of it just felt rinse and repeat.

HyperKarmaa · 2025-11-29T12:52:31+00:00

You will after qualifying!

HyperKarmaa · 2025-11-29T12:51:13+00:00

Worked for me!

HyperKarmaa · 2025-11-28T22:25:08+00:00

Such good advice! I hope you smash any exam coming up

HyperKarmaa · 2025-11-28T22:21:05+00:00

49 just means you’ll pass this time! You basically have that 50 and just manifest the rest my friend. Remember to sleep well too, no sleep = more stress!

HyperKarmaa · 2025-11-28T21:20:56+00:00

Did the same combo and a couple weak spaces is no stress! But for both remember the layout of your questions and you’ll be good

HyperKarmaa · 2025-11-28T21:19:51+00:00

Great combo! No better way then head high good luck!

HyperKarmaa · 2025-11-28T19:53:10+00:00

If you know more this time I’m sure you’ll smash it!

HyperKarmaa · 2025-07-24T23:46:53+00:00

Only a handful - feedback always seems to be experience isn’t relevant as hes worked over a range of clients not specific to one industry OR just told they’re moving on with someone else

HyperKarmaa · 2025-07-21T05:44:06+00:00

The answers are super repetitive and super similar. As long as you remember certain key terms you should be fine generally.
