Market abuse scenarios
The mock scenarios on market manipulation were really challenging but super realistic. Exactly what we need to see in practice exams.
Listing rules accurate
The shareholding notification rules were accurate. Focused purely on what they actually test you on in the CFR exam.
Better than the live courses
Did a workshop that cost almost $800 and learned way less than I did on here for a fraction of the price. Mock exams are the real winner.
Thank you Ryan! Great to know the study materials made a difference.
Helpful for corporate finance
navigating M&A and listing rules was hard but this made it much clearer. Pass marks were high but I got there. Thanks!!
Interactive is best
Didnt think Id pass first time cuz the official workbook was so dry. This course made it interactive which suited me way better. Do the mocks till you hit 85%!
10/10 content
Prep is solid. A few minor typos here and there but the core content is 10/10. Helped me with the takeover rules specially. Passed yesterday!!
