I personally would rather do more study and be tested more, learn more and come out better. 2 advisor going for one job IFS v CII I know who I would chose! Thats if there is any jobs left post RDR!

Well done. R02 is fun. Make sure your calculator can do "to the power of" calculations or is a financial calculator.

Thanks, is that for the future value calculations?

Well done for passing. I failed by 1 mark!

I thought long and hard on the drive down. Having seen the 4 questions where I got less than 50% marks, I have paid the £75 fee and asked them to remark it. I got the impression the remark people are more qualified and perhaps take a less than model answer approach.

Anyway, that will teach me for leaving the exam an hour early! I will let you know how I get on. I hope they can squeeze one more mark from somewhere!

I originally failed R02 by 10 marks. I couldn't believe it, so I sent it for re-marking, as I was sure that I'd aced it.

The guy at the CII told me not to bother with the re-mark, as they never get turned around that much and to accept my fail. No chance sunshine!

I paid my £75, waited a couple of months for the review, which came back as a pass mark. They wouldn't tell me the new mark, but said that it was "in excess of 65%". Considering the pass mark is 55% and they said I had failed, to then say that I had passed with over 65%, the first marker was out by 17%.......

And they tried to talk me out of reviewing. Ridiculous. Losing faith with the CII, but the IFS is a mockery of a qualification, so limited options.

Last time around 3 colleges of mine had remarks 4 fail max, 2 overturned including the 4 fail answer.

I have heard they have 15 mins per paper and literally scan read the answers!

I also agree CII is not the best route but the alternative is even worse, so best of a bad bunch really.

I sat it in London and was amazed at the volume of people sitting over 300 at £110 a pop, a great not for profit organisation;)
