“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. “
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.

"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 "
