      Questions

      Good to know.

      What is P1 TutorBot?

      Your P1 study partner inside the course. It teaches every topic from Finntutors' exclusive P1 notes, answers your questions with the chapter each answer comes from, quizzes you in the real exam formats, calculations included, brings back the questions you got wrong, and runs 10-question mini tests and full 60-question mock exams.

      Is TutorBot included in the price?

      Yes. Both plans include P1 TutorBot, the 17 video lessons, our exclusive chapter notes, the important topics list and direct support from our tutors.

      How is it different from asking ChatGPT?

      TutorBot teaches from Finntutors' exclusive P1 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.

      What question formats does the P1 exam use?

      P1 is 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. Many of them are calculations. Every question carries the same marks and there is no penalty for a wrong answer.

      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.

      Can I talk to a real tutor?

      Yes. Our tutors answer your questions directly, within one day. TutorBot is there for the rest of the time.
