At the start of our Structured Study Plans for October 2017, it’s worth taking a minute to look at what success looks like.
Some people are good at studying: they should stick to what they know and what works for them.
Some people need a little helping hand when
Advanced Diploma in Financial Planning: AF1, AF3 and AF4
Unit | Annual Pass Rate CII | Expert Pensions Results so far… | |

AF4 | 63.88% | 63.37% | 80.0% (+26% better chance of success) |
Here’s another interesting table
This is an interesting table from the data collected by EP from students studying for the April 2017 exams: we have three groups of data (those who completed more or less than 9 assignments and the whole data group).
What does it actually say?
9 or more assignments | Exam score>=88 for whole data group | |||||
No | Yes | No | Yes | |||
Exam score>=88 | (Yes) | 31.8% | 68.2% | 0.0% | 100.0% | |
Videos Viewed | Mean | 40.0 | 46.1 | 50.3 | 39.9 | |
Median | 33.5 | 44.5 | 44.0 | 34.0 | ||
Time per quiz | Mean | 42.2 | 33.7 | 44.4 | 34.1 | |
Median | 33.1 | 34.9 | 37.5 | 29.2 | ||
Quiz Passed | Mean | 5.7 | 10.8 | 6.5 | 8.1 | |
Median | 5.0 | 10.0 | 7.0 | 8.0 | ||
Exam Result | Mean | 90.9 | 97.5 | 76.9 | 99.7 | |
Median | 92.0 | 99.0 | 78.0 | 98.0 |
What does it actually say about the profile of a successful student?
- You will have done/completed or attempted your assignments
- You will have passed/completed your quizzes
- You do the quizzes quickly and successfully
- You spend time on the site watching the video tutorials (higher than average, but not so much as to use time better spent on quizzes or videos).
If you do that, I think this says that you have a better chance of passing.
In other words, DOING and COMPLETING the EP course is worth it.
Doing the doing gets results!
