  • Hi, In our firm we also use CashCalc and their Monte Carlo simulation. You are right there is no rule or guidance as to what is good. I think we use it more to show the client how sustainable their desired income and generally if its around 65% t…
  • Hi all, we use an outsourcing Paraplanning team and they used to harge £50 + VAT per hour. now they have increased it slightly to £55 + VAT per hour and £70 + VAT per hour for a chartered paraplanner.
  • I got the Expert Pensions material too and thought it was quite good and helpful! Yeh the system wasn't ideal but figured it out. I also heard of people accidentally 'clearing' their answers with very little time to remember what they had wrote to…
  • Same! the previous papers I used to revise from made me feel like I could pass it...... but after taking the exam I think its safe to say I will have to retake it Did you buy any material or go on any courses for it ?
  • Brand stuff was pretty point. The faff of getting in was stressful yes, threw me off . No wonder we couldn't get through to the CII as everyone was trying to get through. And as you can't open any other windows while you're in the secure browser...…
  • @George77 thought it was okay.... had the Brand material and they covered pretty much all the topics. How did u find it ? Reckon you put down enough points ?
  • @harpoon i think you should send that as feedback, that's really unfair and quite a flaw in their system. Valuable marks lost from no fault of your own.

  • Yeh same got it about 12pm too. Glad they have released it early, means we have an extra weekend to revise.
  • Nice of CII to let us know they have released them already
  • Hi @Royals430 I have done the same..... I have gathered past papers and currently looking through the generic questions that come up which are usually fact finding ones and review ones. This link might help with topics: https://adviserservice…
  • Hey, not had any experience but i saw the example video they provide and thought the visuals were quite good. I bought it and im hoping it will be very helpful.
  • Hi, I am taking this exam..... unfortunately for me it's a retake. Would be great to share ideas. I would suggest trying to revise generic questions that regularly come up as we can't do much more before the case study gets released. Also, doe…
  • Hi Guys, I failed, got 73. The feedback on CII is useless.
  • The pass mark is 55%. I'm taking this exam for the 3rd time lol !
  • Anyone willing to provide Brand analysis? I have Redmill but seems like so does everyone.
  • Hi, can anyone provide a copy of the redmill analysis for a fee please?
  • Hi guys, I am sitting R06 this October too.... for the third time unfortunately. Does anyone want to share the cost of analysis they have? Thanks, Ceetal
