      How is it different from asking ChatGPT?

      TutorBot teaches from Finntutors' exclusive E3 notes, so it explains things the way your course does and shows you which chapter each answer comes from. Its practice questions are written in CIMA's exam formats and marked the way CIMA marks them, and it remembers what you got wrong so you can fix it.

      Which topics does E3 cover?

      The strategy process, mission, vision and stakeholders, governance and ethics, the organisational ecosystem, strategic networks and platforms, resources and value creation, generating strategic options and making a strategic choice, strategic performance systems, change and its management, and digital strategy, from digital technologies to governance.

      What question formats does the E3 exam use?

      E3 is a computer-based objective test: 60 questions in 90 minutes. You will see multiple choice, multiple response, number entry, drop-down, and drag and drop questions, and occasionally hot spot questions. Every question carries the same marks and there is no penalty for a wrong answer.

      Who teaches the course?

      Devansh is the lead tutor for E3 and made the course, with every chapter broken into short lessons, one topic each. Our tutors answer your questions while you study, and TutorBot is there day and night.

      How long do I keep access?

      For life. You get instant access when you enrol, and the course stays in your account.

      Can I pay in instalments?

      Yes. You can pay in two monthly payments instead of one. Choose "Pay in two" above.

      Is there a bundle for the Strategic level?

      Yes. The Strategic Level OT Bundle gives you E3, P3 and F3 together in one payment, for less than buying them separately. You will find it under the prices.
