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.
- I’m now level 4 qualified and would say the Brand Analysis was extremely useful for my R0’s, particularly R06. I would go as far to say it’s essential for R06, so thank you.
MatthewTrainee Financial Planner, IWP Financial Planning Limited, Warwickshire - I must say the analysis and supporting documents were a great help in preparing me for the exam and to back up my knowledge with the sort of model answers they were looking for.TomBristol
- I'm really pleased I decided to get the R06 analysis. I was umming and ahhing about it and decided to bite the bullet and I couldn't be happier with what I got. Some of the questions were almost word for word of what the pack prepared me for. Not only did this help direct my revision, but it also kept me calm because I saw questions I was prepared for. I'll definitely use Brand again for future exams.Catherine ByrneParaplanner, Sheffield
- I did pass AF5 on my first attempt. I found your analysis to be brilliant for summarising the most likely questions and you were spot-on with much of what came up on the day of the exam. I now only have AF8 to pass to achieve Chartered Status but I would recommend your resources to anyone sitting AF5 in the future.James BrownFinancial Planner, Leicester
- I got 102 marks. Very happy as I took it quite short notice! I will highly recommend the Brand analysis to others, and will use it for when I complete AF5.Matthew RusherFinancial Services Administration, Wren Sterling, Oxfordshire
- "I am pleased to say I passed AF5 using Brand's AF5 Fact-Find Analysis. I am now preparing my application for Chartered Status! I have used the Brand materials for a number of the exams along the way and have found them to be most useful and very reasonably priced and always recommend them to colleagues."Tammie SteadmanChartered Financial Planner, Footes Financial Planning UK, Birmingham
