M8 tests the investment knowledge needed to understand and advise on collective investment schemes. The eight official chapters move from cash, bonds, equities and derivatives through financial markets, risk and return, time value of money, investment suitability, unit-trust structure and the main fund-product families.
This course turns that scope into eight detailed summaries, 120 active-recall flashcards, a 212-item searchable reference sheet, five timed 50-question mock exams and an AI tutor grounded in the M8 study material.
The official SCI-administered M8 examination contains 50 multiple-choice questions, lasts 60 minutes and requires 70% to pass. Each mock follows those constants. SCI does not publish chapter weights on the public M8 page, so the course uses a documented practice allocation that gives every chapter meaningful coverage without presenting it as an official exam weighting.
