LIBF CeFS / DipFS Financial Studies Unit 1, 2, 3 and 4 Homework / Assessment Booklets + Answer Booklets PACKAGE
These 4x Assessment Booklets, which come complete with 4x separate answer booklets, provide an ideal framework for assessing students’ knowledge on all topics within the 4 Units of the LIBF CeFS/DipFS course. They contain a mixture of multiple choice and extended writing questions to effectively prepare students for both Part A and Part B exams. Success criteria for extended writing questions has been shared to ensure that students become familiar with common question stems and response expectations.
Questions have been taken directly from LIBF specimen papers and have been painstakingly organised into each of the respective topics. Students can therefore be assured that they are only being assessed on questions that are similar to the type that they will face in their actual external examinations.
As a successful and experienced teacher of LIBF Financial Studies I have found that using these resources has enabled students to become familiar with the type of questions that will be asked of them within external examinations. This has boosted exam performance and significantly increased grades as a result.
(Note: resources are also available separately for each unit).
