Hi, just wondered if anyone else sat AF1 last week. Interested to know what people thought of it

I sat this paper, I thought Section A was really quite difficult. Section B didn't give me too many issues (that I'm aware of).
In comparison to mock papers I had a tough time of this one and I'm pretty doubtful I've passed.
I sat this paper in October and thankfully passed.
I'd prepared thoroughly and thought the paper went really well, and that I had passed with relative ease.
However, I only scraped over the line by 5 marks. Later on, I found out that the pass rate for the October 2020 sitting was 35%.
I guess the CII are toughening up this exam, it's very useful though, so is worth the hours you put in.
It did seem like they are toughening it up! Where did you get that 35% pass rate figure? That's seems insanely low!
@SA96 and I should say, well done!
Thank you.
I got the pass mark from the article below.

Thanks!
Congratulations on passing the Exam!
I'm looking to take AF1 in later in the year. Is it the same format as R06 i.e. you receive the case study a couple of weeks before the exam?
@pbmfp AF1 is a straight up review the syllabus material for x amount of weeks before the exam and then sit the paper and apply your knowledge. There is no case study material provided beforehand.
