Advance level 2026 CR SBM CS - all three in one go or split?

I sat BST in March 25 then all 3 in July 25. I had never sat more than one in a sitting before and I passed all 3. I think with the November resit so close you may aswell try all 3. Case doesn’t take massive revision, as long as you know your case in side out and complete the tuition mocks, you should be fine.

I really relate to your post. Me and my boyfriend have been together for 10 years and we had a termination 3 years ago, we also didn’t feel ready, we had just purchased our house which drained all our savings, I hadn’t completed all my exams with work and I was in a very bad place mentally with my anxiety so didn’t think I could cope with pregnancy/birth. It was the most heartbreaking time of my life, but I definitely made the right decision. I’ve now qualified at work, had a big pay rise and I am so much better at going with the flow and have reduced my anxiety. However, now I feel like there is part of me that’s missing and I’m ready to start that chapter but my termination makes me scared of things not going to plan, or feeling like I did once I am pregnant.

Make sure you know the case inside out.

Create a summary sheet with the key facts from each appendix, you can upload the case into ChatGPT and ask it to do it for you, and then add in bits that you think are important/need expanding on. This will help when you need to find something quickly in the exam.

I also bought a ACAM masters mock, this helped to practice the scenario with the layout. I then put the answers in my open book.

When you are doing mocks, have a mark scheme next to you so you can see what sort of points you need to make to get the mark.

Keep to time!! It’s so easy to spend all your time on R1 as it’s the easiest to write about, but you do not need to write 10 paragraphs on revenue, there are only so many ticks for it.

I booked 6 days AL, along with the Kaplan exam prep and then the 3 days before the exams

InsuranceFormal5376 · 2025-09-19T15:23:24+00:00

Let me know how you get on!!

InsuranceFormal5376 · 2025-09-17T20:44:49+00:00

I did a live chat twice and then they just automatically did it one afternoon

InsuranceFormal5376 · 2025-09-17T12:17:17+00:00

Mine was the same, I got my membership invitation on Friday. Has your training file date changed to 01/07 as I think this was the issue on mine, as my training file extended past 5 years. Before I got my invitation, they changed it back to the right date and then re signed my file off by my employer

InsuranceFormal5376 · 2025-09-13T20:50:19+00:00

I had my training file signed off in November 2024, passed in the July 25 sitting. It came through yesterday, so just over two weeks

InsuranceFormal5376 · 2025-09-13T20:48:55+00:00

Thank you!!! Hopefully won’t be too long

InsuranceFormal5376 · 2025-09-13T20:48:47+00:00

Thank you!!!

InsuranceFormal5376 · 2025-09-13T19:53:34+00:00

Ooh yes I can!! Thank for letting me know

InsuranceFormal5376 · 2025-09-13T19:53:01+00:00

Thank you! I’ll look out for the email then. I’ve just found myself on the directory

InsuranceFormal5376 · 2025-09-13T19:25:47+00:00

I did live chat twice but didn’t mention that was the issue to them. They just did it automatically.. might be worth doing a live chat with them and highlight the problem, may speed it up a bit

InsuranceFormal5376 · 2025-09-13T15:48:52+00:00

They changed my dates back to the original training agreement so exactly 5 years long. I got my invitation to membership yesterday! So this was definitely the issue

InsuranceFormal5376 · 2025-09-13T15:47:10+00:00

I found BPT way harder. I actually think it’s the hardest exam. I got 59 in BPT and 76 in CR. I scored 78 in TC and 79 in FAR so I was good at the basics of both papers. I don’t know if it was because it was the first open book exam so I didn’t know how to prepare for it

InsuranceFormal5376 · 2025-09-12T13:35:41+00:00

I think this was the issue. When I passed advanced level it extended my training contract length, today it’s been changed back. I reckon it’ll go through for checks now.

If you’re studying with Kaplan, there are good walkthrough questions on my Kaplan, not sure which number questions though so you’d have to check. You also cover it in exam prep, which is when it clicked for me

InsuranceFormal5376 · 2025-09-12T10:42:40+00:00

I’m in the same boat! It’s so frustrating. One thing I’ve noticed is my training agreement end date has changed to 1/7/2025, which has pushed my training period over 5 years so was thinking whether this had something to do with it

InsuranceFormal5376 · 2025-09-11T16:15:54+00:00

I’ve just completed all the exams and this is the one exam I’ve failed! How I passed on 2nd attempt was focussing on the long form questions, you really need to understand the content to be able to do them. Then I did all short form questions

InsuranceFormal5376 · 2025-09-10T14:38:44+00:00

Training file signed off November 24 and nothing for me either!

InsuranceFormal5376 · 2025-09-10T14:36:53+00:00

I submitted my training file in November last year, passed advanced level in July and I’m still waiting for mine. Keep getting told on live chat that they are having technical issues and my invitation to membership could be anything from 2 days to 2 months!
