Further to my thread in the Careers section, I'm looking to study towards CT1 (aiming to take the exam this Sept).
As my maths is a bit rusty, I was thinking of studying the Foundation ActEd Course (FAC) first. Has anyone studied this, who can comment as to approximately how many hours need to go into completing this course? (Or is it just a reference guide to be used alongside the CT1 CMP?)
I was hoping to use the FAC to get back into the swing of things, and to ensure I have the ability before investing in the CT1 CMP
Then with regards to the CT1 self study:the help and advice for students page lists a number of things (CMP - £114, Series X Marking - £192, Mock Exam - £55, Marking voucher for mock exam - £62).
If all of the above is required I'm, more than willing to pay the £423 for it, but just wanted to check if it is all absolutely necessary/if it would be realistic to expect to prepare properly for the exam with just the CMP.
Does anyone (particularly those self funding) study with just the CMP?
Also could I just order the CMP, and if I feel I need my assignments to be marked, order the Series X Marking Pack (and the Mock exam with marking later on if/when I feel I may need it)?
Sorry to post so many questions. I just want to be prepared!
