## What is CII Ready?

Pass your CII Diploma in Regulated Financial Planning (DipPFS) exams with one app for all five core units: R01, R02, R03, R04 and R05.

Pick your unit from the Home screen and switch any time. Each unit has its own lessons, questions, mocks, exam date and progress, so you can study for one exam or work through the whole Diploma.

THE FIVE UNITS
• R01 Financial Services, Regulation & Ethics: 100 questions in 2 hours
• R02 Investment Principles & Risk: 100 questions in 2 hours
• R03 Personal Taxation: 50 questions in 1 hour
• R04 Pensions & Retirement Planning: 50 questions in 1 hour
• R05 Financial Protection: 50 questions in 1 hour

BUILT TO FEEL LIKE THE REAL THING
Our questions match each unit's style, length and depth, including the scenario questions that ask you to apply a rule to a client. Mocks are timed and marked against each unit's pass mark.

GUIDED LEARNING
A coached course for every unit, covering every learning outcome on the syllabus in 738 short lessons. Each lesson starts with a real exam-style scenario, teaches you everything behind it with diagrams, tables and worked calculations, then tests you in rounds. Miss something and it is explained another way until it clicks.

WHAT'S INSIDE
• 6,600+ practice questions across all five units
• Full timed mock exams in the real format for each unit
• A worked explanation for every question: why the right answer is right, and why each wrong answer is wrong
• 1,500+ flashcards for the rules, thresholds and definitions you need to recall
• Quickfire rounds and a daily question for revision on the go
• Exam countdown, readiness score and topic-by-topic progress so you know where to focus

UP TO DATE FOR 2026/27
Built on the current CII syllabus for each unit, using the tax year figures and rules examined from 1 September 2026, including the latest dividend rates, pension allowances, State Pension figures and Statutory Sick Pay changes.

WHAT EACH UNIT COVERS
• R01: the UK financial services industry, the FCA and PRA, the conduct of business rules, financial crime, complaints, the FSCS, ethics and the advice process

### 2/5 — Unrealistic Questions

*2026-10-04*

On the current version of the app, the answers to questions are blatantly obvious. I am guessing a-lot of questions & getting them all correct. There needs to be distractors to mimic the real exam questions. Also, the correct answer to questions should be shown as soon as you tap an answer so you can save time. Having to read the wordy questions and review the correct answer's at the end takes ages. It isnt all negative though, the layout of the app and how you have the ability to target incorrect and flagged answers is perfect for revision. The app is a great idea, I would love to see it improve with updates.

**Developer response:** Hi Lyndon,

All taken on board so thank you for the feedback.

I've overhauled the app to ensure that practice questions are aligned with the questions found on the real exam, without obvious distractors. Correct answers on tap have also been built in as requested.

Additionally, there is now a full guided learning course which teaches you all topics found within each CII module, therefore if you're still needing the app then let me know how you find it. If you need access to the guided learning and questions for more of the modules then get in touch and I'll provide you with full access as a thanks for the feedback.

Many thanks,
Corri
