Investment Management Certificate (IMC) Help

Hi folks,

I was wondering if anyone on this forum would be able to help me regarding this qualification. I sat this last week (unit 1) and unfortunately failed. I believe this was due to me not doing enough past papers/questions.

I currently have BPP's books, for last year (think the only thing that updates are the tax tables). Would anyone be able to point me in the right direction to get some past papers or big question banks? Whether this is a pdf or even if it is cheap enough to purchase.

Any other IMC advice would be great.

Thanks

:)

    Hi Fitz.

    I have recently passed the Unit 2 exam (passed unit 1 back in September).

    All I can say from my own experience, is that I just bought the official text books from the CFA UK society. In their textbooks, there are questions after each chapter and a full mock exam at the end of the textbook. It also links you to the CFA website, which gives you another 2 mock exams you can practice with...

    I think you will at least have access to the mock exams on the CFA website.. Have you tried there?

    I assume you've done the 'official' mocks at https://secure.cfauk.org/qualifications/imc-exam/imc-candidate-members.html ?

    You can buy the official training manual from that same site which has example questions but if you want loads of questions in a mock exam or past paper format, you can probably buy some materials from BPP, Kaplan or the like?

    *edit - my post crossed with George's, that's the site he'd be referring to.
