  • I went straight for AF5 as a follow from R06 as the exam style is similar and this was ok. I think it’s the opposite of what most people do though. Next I’m planning to AF1 and J02 perhaps in April but it’s dependent upon how a few other things pan …
    in Straight into Level 6? Comment by esthomizzy November 2020
  • Might be too late now but I used brandft and wizard for some R exams I think of the two wizard gave more detail for the exams I did (I can’t remember which now probably r06 and I think the reason I’ve seen both is because I failed the first time). E…

  • I failed by 2 marks I’m trying for a remark as I had some technical problems with the remote invigilation too How about you success I hope?

  • I have been re resigned up for July by the look of it so I’m going to go for it. You?
    in AF5 easter Comment by esthomizzy April 2020
  • I also have an Easter booking (af5). I think there is very little chance they’ll go ahead in their usual form if at all (just a feeling). But I’m not so sure I’m going to stop prepping I guess.
    in April 2020 exam sittings - do you think these will go ahead? Comment by esthomizzy March 2020
  • If I missed anyone out with my DM replies apologies and let me know. Good luck with your prep
    in AF5 easter Comment by esthomizzy February 2020
  • I think this would be no problem in fact if you don’t do so you’d be wasting half the year while always waiting for Sept. just be careful when doing questions and checking numerical answers as you sometimes end up scratching your head and then findi…
    in considering CII Diploma - advice Comment by esthomizzy February 2020
  • I did the diploma in 2 years sitting the exams one at a time in more or less the numerical order except I did r05 then r04 With r06 last and not while working in the field either and I wasn’t pushing myself really hard (took a few breaks when things…

    in Marriage allowance Comment by esthomizzy October 2019
  • I’ve used Brandft and Wizard for R06 case studies and I found both good but Wizard was the more comprehensive of the two. I would recommend the brandft calculation workbooks generally though (not specifically for R06 as it’s relatively calc lite).…
    in R06 Oct19 Comment by esthomizzy August 2019
  • There was definitely no overleaf issue this time (I checked like 5 times) and I think someone else must have grumbled at them as there was also a disclaimer at the end saying this is the end of the questions (in bold). I also thought it was a sha…

  • I have Brand and would be happy to swap with anyone who has something else Good luck
    in RO6 April 2019 Comment by esthomizzy July 2019
  • Thanks both. I understand now, for some reason I had trouble getting my head round this. Yes this last R06 will be examined on 2018/19 allowances which is unnecessarily confusing between April and Sept
    in R06 revision Comment by esthomizzy July 2019
  • I see that their answer is correct and I’m wrong but I still don’t see why 1/12 of each band (excuse the new year allowances below) doesn’t apply here. If we’ve accounted for 1/12 of the PA and BR band then surely the next slice is between HR and AR…
    in R06 revision Comment by esthomizzy July 2019
  • I always think there aren’t enough clues. Assuming permitted if anyone doing July R06 wants to swap Brandft (I have Brand this time but retrospectively I think wizard might have been more comprehensive) for wizard DM me.
    in July R06 Case Studies Comment by esthomizzy July 2019
  • I am doing R06 next week having narrowly failed it previously (missed questions overleaf like a loyal numpty). Last time I used wizard and this time I’m using brandft of the two I think wizard are more comprehensive. I’ve not come across BTS.
    in R06 - BTS or any other suggestions? Comment by esthomizzy July 2019
  • Thanks
    in Pension q Comment by esthomizzy July 2019
  • For R01 I just bought the Brandft one but though the brevity was valuable (compared to cii) I found sometimes/often I wanted to check things in the cii one (I still passed luckily). So for the rest I bought the cii study book and coincidentally arou…
    in Brand Resources and Study Plan Comment by esthomizzy June 2019
  • I narrowly failed r06 in April and I’m resitting it in July (missed the deadline to sign for the last one without paying the ridiculous late fee). I’m kicking myself as I definitely failed as I failed to turn over the last page and missed quite a f…
    in R06 July 2019 Comment by esthomizzy June 2019
  • Grr to book for April requires a late fee of £84 as well as the regular fee. They are really taking the proverbial, so I should have booked the exam before I even knew I would fail it?
    in R06 Comment by esthomizzy March 2019
  • Thanks I was thinking it wasn’t close enough to be worth bothering barmy that they don’t express the result as a percentage though. I know exactly why I failed I missed a couple of questions over the page off completely and realised at the 2min mark…

  • Thanks everyone
    in Carry forward Comment by esthomizzy January 2019
  • ParaP your advice to write the formulas down in the pre 15 mins is amazing! Thank you I totally wish I’d thought of that with R02 I did pass but I had to just guess a couple I could probably have done but ran out of proper time for this would have …
