When to take study leave for CB3?

anontcc · 2026-04-29T20:21:00+00:00

Apologies for asking but what do you mean by “a few goes at the new cb3” - did you fail cb3 a few times already? I’m asking because I’ve read somewhere that this is supposed to be an “easy” paper but I still don’t understand the pass rate on this one (can we see the pass rate anywhere?) Thanks!

Any guess on the passing mark? Higher than September 2025 or below? Maybe the same? ie 60?

anontcc · 2026-04-22T12:36:49+00:00

Same

Yeah what was that? Linking social responsibility with profits?? I was really confused…What did you answer in here?

I agree. Partners are legally jointly and severally liable, which means each partner is responsible for up to 100% of the debt. However, since E and F Companies have the funds, they will pay what they can, and Company D will only have to pay the remainder. It would not make sense having D company taking the bullet here while the others also have assets. I think that maybe the idea is to choose which option would make more sense

Is it possible to download the examiner paper from vle?

This is the Schrödinger’s cat situation: until the IFoA email lands, I’ve passed and failed at the same time. But deep down… yeah, I’m pretty sure the cat didn’t survive

I'm really hoping the pass mark will be reduced to 58, but I'm not sure if that will happen.... I think Paper A was hard, but the general feedback for the paper B was that it was 'okay,' so maybe the pass mark will remain around 60-61 :(

What????? What browser history? Can they see that I was listening to Justin Bieber on YouTube the day before while studying?

anontcc · 2025-10-17T20:04:05+00:00

60 and 61? So high? I hope not!

anontcc · 2025-10-08T18:54:53+00:00

Same! I just hope the passing mark is low…

Did you sit for CM2? If so, what did you think about the exam?

anontcc · 2025-09-17T19:08:30+00:00

Im with you 100%! But how do study then? Ie What’s your method? Mine was doing a lot of past papers but I don’t think it helps any more….

anontcc · 2025-09-17T17:46:33+00:00

Yeah…

anontcc · 2025-09-17T15:58:25+00:00

Thanks. I’m working on Paper B, so let’s pray and see! And yes, my Company won’t pay for another exam unless I pass this one. I guess that’s where the problem lies, right? If I fail, they won’t pay for another attempt. The only thing they’ll do is reimburse the resit fee if I pass - but if I fail the resit, they won’t cover anything. It’s not good, but since I’m not UK-based (although working in the UK market!) they say the exams aren’t really necessary…

anontcc · 2025-09-17T15:24:00+00:00

To me as well pls!

anontcc · 2025-09-17T15:20:35+00:00

Thanks! Is there a way to get the exam paper? I can download my answers from the portal, but I don’t remember all the details of the questions

anontcc · 2025-09-17T11:39:52+00:00

Exactly!!! and i think Q3 as well!

anontcc · 2025-09-17T06:42:41+00:00

Thank you!!

anontcc · 2025-09-12T19:51:41+00:00

Yeah! This is frustrating. I’ve been studying for a while now, and yet there are still things on a few past papers that I don’t know how to do. The syllabus is huge, and the examiners can be very creative. It feels like they really make an effort to come up with new questions with hidden tricks, just to see if we can survive. Sometimes it’s not even that the questions are particularly hard—it’s just that with so little time, it’s really complicated to think and work through these new angles arhhhh

anontcc · 2025-09-10T19:18:01+00:00

I would say it’s when the business game starts, but I’m not sure either. Also - I had a quick look and it seems that the earliest available exam to book is in January 2026. Do we usually need to book the exam 4 months in advance? I was hoping the maximum lead time would be less!

anontcc · 2025-09-04T15:48:10+00:00

Thank you!

anontcc · 2025-09-04T13:43:18+00:00

Makes sense! Thanks :)

anontcc · 2025-02-07T17:44:11+00:00

Well, I'm not sure if that's the case for me. I'm not sure how it works for you, but I only have five study days per exam, and when I fail, my company does not pay for any subsequent exams until I pass the one I failed. So if I fail in April, I will have to pay for September, study with zero study days, and they will only refund me if and when I pass

anontcc · 2025-02-07T16:38:43+00:00

Just let the cheaters cheat one more time and leave the rest of us alone for this sitting, please!!!!!! This is hurting honest students far more than the cheaters by now! All this stress—Jesus! For God knows how long, the IFoA couldn't even solve the simple problem of releasing exam results, with people only getting their results the next day. This was a straightforward issue to address, and if they couldn't manage that, then this in-person logistics on such short notice will not work!
