"I enjoyed that Finance relates to everyday life, and we can prepare for the future. Unit 1 includes everyday banking and budgeting which is useful for when you start getting an income and need to handle your money." I have found the Mylibf quizzes to be really helpful throughout all sections of finance. I would say my favourite unit is unit 1 and favourite section from it is section 2 on the personal life cycle! I like the class atmosphere and miss H is nice too. "I enjoyed Unit 1, where we learnt about everyday banking and types of saving products." "I enjoyed unit 1 topic 11 and 12. I really enjoyed completing the learning maps "
What students say My favourite section was unit 2 topic 3 as it was interesting to learn about different mortgages available as well as other types of loans and products. What I like about finance is that even though there maybe a lot of content to cover, it is possible to minimize and memorise it. Which makes it easier to revise before an exam.
