How will the AF5 fact-find analysis with email support help me to pass?
Passing AF5 isn’t only about having the necessary knowledge and understanding, it’s about being able to apply that knowledge exactly as needed and in a timely manner.
It is essential that you have fully prepared for the AF5 exam and are ready to answer questions relating to the fact-find. If you go into the exam unprepared, you will lose vital time and marks. Our AF5 fact-find analysis comes with an email support day in the lead-up to the exam and includes a Q&A document with the questions asked on the day, giving you even more ways to prepare as much as possible. The analysis covers the areas that you are likely to see in the exam; however, other questions may be asked, and we strongly advise you to think around other potential areas of questioning.
Why an ‘Analysis’ and not a ‘Solution’?
Some providers refer to their analysis of the AF5 fact-find as a ‘solution’. We decided not to call our analysis a ‘solution’ simply because it’s impossible to provide a solution when you don’t know what the exam questions are going to be – and no-one knows that until exam day!
We didn’t want to mislead and therefore we decided to call this resource an analysis – our experts tell you what they expect to come up in the exam based on their expert analysis of the fact-find. This analysis provides the likely questions and answers required based on the fact-find.
- The R06 analysis was brilliant and helped me to answer questions effectively without spending too much time. I would most definitely recommend the analysis to anybody. I have used Brand Financial Training for most of my exams now and it’s the most valuable exam resources going, I can confidently say having tried many of the others! Thank you very much for the support.
Emma BaumbackIndependent Financial Planner - I cannot praise your materials highly enough - both for AF5 and all other exams too and as someone who has purchased other analysis and resources I can say with full honesty that Brand materials are better than any others I have used within the market! I would not have got to where I am today with my studies without Brand!Jack SaundersFinancial Advisor, Lemonade Reward, Hampshire and/or Surrey
- “The hard work needed to get through exams is paying off. Many more advisers have been inspired to learn and work hard. My old boss told me once – we don’t sell widgets – we sell knowledge, trust and confidence. Knowledge is a key component - the trust equation is a whole different subject, but many more advisers have been on a learning journey that is sure to continue - and the stats prove it. Well done to everyone at Brand for supporting them on that journey."John ReynoldsExpert Pensions, Edinburgh
- I found the Brand analysis very helpful with the final stages of my preparation – it was good to have something to use as a focus. It was also good to get a second opinion on possible questions which could be asked in relation to the case studies – as well as some I hadn’t thought of!Laura HintonIndependent Financial Adviser, Exeter
- I must say that the exam analysis was absolutely invaluable to me. It really helped me to focus my attention on certain areas and it was nice last-minute reminder to have on more common exam questions (i.e., the roles of a trustee).Adam PriceFinancial Planner
- I passed the exam and got 86%, your analysis was a massive help in achieving this.George P. SimmondsParaplanner, Nicholls Stevens (Financial Services) Ltd, Bristol
