It’s not too late for the autumn exams
Almost half of the year already done! We’re gearing up for summer tax year updates here at Brand HQ, which is our busiest time of the year.
But autumn exam season is fast approaching, and it isn’t too late to commit to a September or October exam sitting if you’ve been thinking about it. All AF units, and most J0 units have a September sitting, as well as R06. If you’re expecting any ‘down time’ over the summer, it could be the perfect opportunity to get that next exam under your belt.

Financial advisers have a crucial role in developing a sustainable withdrawal strategy (i.e., a ‘safe withdrawal rate’) for retired clients that ensures their pension fund lasts for their lifetime while accounting for inflation. This article is particularly relevant to the CII R04, J05, AF7, and AF8 units.
In this Brand Bitesize video, we take a look at self-assessment – relevant to CII exam R03, but also a worthy reminder for exams AF1, AF5, CF1, R01, R04, and R06.
Passing your CII exam isn’t only about having the necessary knowledge and understanding, it’s about being able to apply that knowledge in an exam setting exactly as needed and in a timely manner.
It is essential that you practise multiple exam papers to ensure that you know exactly how to apply your knowledge. Too many people fail due to a lack of exam practice, even if their knowledge is good.
Our Online E-Mocks ensure you get the practice you need, as well as give you a detailed explanation of the correct answers, to enable you to achieve exam success.

Updates to CII Study Texts
Here’s a reminder that the CII update their study texts throughout the examinable year to either incorporate new legislations, correct errors, or clarify information. Many candidates aren’t aware of this, which can result in candidates studying out-of-date information.
To find out if you have the most up-to-date information, visit the CII website, navigate to your chosen exam and click on ‘learning solutions update’ in the ‘Unit updates’ section in the sidebar.
