How it works · 30-second tour
From sign-up to exam day in four steps
A quick look at the practice loop — pick an exam, drill weak topics, watch the mastery map fill in, then sit a real mock.
Practice modes
Three session formats. Pick what fits the day.
Daily drills build momentum. Chapter quizzes sharpen focus. Full mocks prove you are ready.
A 15-minute drill to keep things ticking over
Short, mixed-topic session for when you have a coffee break. Covers the full exam syllabus in miniature.
Focused practice on one topic
Drill the area you are currently studying. Tighter focus means sharper feedback on what you have learned and what still needs work.
The full exam experience, matched to your paper
A timed mock configured to the structure, question count and time allowance of your selected exam — 100 questions in 2 hours for CII R01, 50 in 1 hour for R03, 80 in 2 hours for CISI IAD units.
The system
Everything you need to pass. Nothing you don’t.
Built around the evidence on how adults actually learn complex regulated material.
Topic-specific practice
Drill into any syllabus area, from MiFID II to inheritance tax planning, with questions written by industry-qualified authors.
Spaced review
Questions you get wrong come back at the right intervals to cement understanding into long-term memory.
AI tutor on demand
An AI tutor built for CISI and CII exam prep. Ask any question, paste in one you got wrong, or ask for three more like it.
Study planning
Tell us your exam date and we build a realistic plan around your availability, adapting as you progress.
Why is my local-authority answer wrong on MiFID II?
Local authorities are retail clients by default under FCA rules. They can opt up to professional status but must pass the qualitative test and meet additional size conditions (COBS 3.5). Most do not.
AI tutor
A tutor that knows what you have got wrong this week.
Most platforms bolt on a generic chatbot. Sure Success pulls your active exam, weak topics and recent wrong answers into every reply, so the advice is about your practice, not somebody else’s.
- Built for the CISI IAD and CII DipPFS, answering in British English with specific FCA/COBS citations.
- Knows your active exam, your weak topics and your recent wrong answers. Replies are personalised, not generic.
- Ask a concept question, paste in an MCQ you got wrong, or request three practice questions on any topic.
- Every reply ends with a concrete next step: a drill, a worked example, or more questions.

Why trust the bank
Accuracy is the product.
Exam prep is only as good as its question bank. Here is how this one stays current and correct.
980+ questions per live unit
Every unit on sale carries a bank of roughly a thousand approved questions — large enough that practice and mocks don’t feel recycled.
Current syllabus and tax year
Content is written to the 2025/26 UK tax year and the current CISI/CII syllabus editions — for CII, the 2025‑26 examination guides examinable to 31 August 2026.
Audited every single day
An automated accuracy audit re-checks a rolling sample of the bank daily against current FCA Handbook and HMRC positions. Anything flagged is quarantined from live quizzes immediately, then corrected or withdrawn.
Report a question, get a human review
