Description
Working through our study guide is the essential first step in your AF1 Personal tax and trust planning study plan.

The BTS AF1 study guide is a complete replacement for the examining body textbook.

How is the BTS AF1 study guide different?

The BTS AF1 study guide follows a similar format to our well-loved R0 study guides. It contains a logical breakdown of the syllabus and is packed full of examples, exercises and activities, all explained in an ‘adults in conversation’ fashion.

It will aid your preparation by looking at how to analyse case study details, and how to link your answers to the case study information. We will review how you should structure your answers, and there will be lots of practice on how to lay out your calculations to maximise marks.
Available in a choice of printed or digital format.

How to Use

The key to exam success is not just reading and learning technical information parrot fashion. 

You don’t need to purchase the examining body version of the text book – you can opt to sit the exam stand-alone by selecting ‘assessment only’ on the CII website and then order a BTS Study Guide instead.

Think of your BTS study guide as the first step on your very own revision track. You’ll be able to check your progress throughout, using activities, practice questions and end of chapter tests.

As you work through each chapter, you will gradually cover the full AF1 syllabus and practise the required exam techniques through the use of:

  • example questions with explained answers
  • case study based questions to practise on
  • activities that test and embed learning
  • end of chapter summaries highlighting key learning points
  • a full specimen exam with explained answers
Delivery / Access

BTS study guides are available in a choice of two formats: printed or digital. The content is the same for both versions, the choice depends on which works best for you.

Digital study guides are designed as an online interactive guide, perfect for people who learn best using on-screen interactive tools. They are fully optimised for mobile and tablet displays meaning you can study on the go. Digital study guides are not pdfs and are not printable or downloadable.

Digital study guides are available to access online for a 120-day subscription period. If you think you will need longer than 120 days to complete your study of the unit we advise you to choose the printed version instead.

Access your digital study materials online via your PC or mobile by logging into your BTS account and viewing your Dashboard.

 

Printed study guides are designed for people who learn best using physical, paper materials and like to highlight sections and make notes on their study materials.

Orders for printed study guides placed before 2pm Monday – Friday are processed and dispatched the same day. Delivery is by local courier and is usually within two working days of dispatch.

Delivery times may vary depending on the destination address.

 

Free samples of both formats are available in the shop, so you can ‘try before you buy’.

What is the BTS R06 workshop like? The workshop concentrates on the key technical knowledge and exam techniques that are essential for an R06 exam pass. The workshop is scheduled for the week following the release of the R06 exam case studies. BTS will have analysed the case studies prior to the workshop, and the workshop days will involve working through model questions and answers to practice key R06 exam techniques and technical knowledge. You will have the opportunity to ask and discuss questions in a group forum as well, to prepare for the R06 exam sitting as much as possible. R06 workshop dates are available for each sitting of the exam. If you can’t see a date that works for you, get in touch to ask about more options.

How to Use

The workshop is ideal preparation in the lead up to your R06 exam sitting.

What makes the R06 workshop so useful?

A workshop is a live online event where you can benefit not just from the BTS trainer but also from working alongside others studying for the same exam. Discussions within the group can help to reassure you and improve your understanding of key exam areas. You’ll get out of your day as much as you put in (and more!).

Access to the R06 case study analysis for the previous exam sitting (for past paper practise) will be provided when your booking has been confirmed. The BTS analysis for your sitting will then be automatically added to your account within four days of the release of the case studies.

You’ll also be able to continue your conversations with your fellow R06 candidates in our student-led forums. Login to your BTS account and head over to the Careers Zone to access our forums.

Event Information

Attending a remote workshop can help consolidate the key knowledge required for an exam pass.

What is the BTS R05 workshop like?

If you can’t see a date that works for you, get in touch to ask about more options.

How to Use

The workshop is ideal either for some last minute exam revision, or if you are at the start of your studies.

slides from the workshop, a set of practice tests, technical revision sheets and a full specimen exam with explained answers, so you continue your learning after the event.
