Study Buddy AFM- Discussion and question group

Hi, Looking for a group to discuss topics and be a support network for this exam rather than ‘study’ together, also somewhere to openly ask questions and not feel judged when unsure.

My experience with study buddies has been varied, the past few not great as everyone has their own methods of getting through the syllabus. So not looking for one where we get links to loads of PDFs giving the same information I have just gone through thoroughly in my text book . Looking for more collaborative and relaxed style as well, rather than having someone dictating what needs to be studied everyday. As I work full time and have plenty going on outside of work, studying is already added pressure, so need a group that enhances my experience rather than places more pressure.

Since the professional exams go further than just rote learning formulae, I wanted to set up more of a relaxed discussion group where each day we discuss a topic like dark pool trading, crypto currency, Dividend decisions, Islamic finance etc and other elements than underpin the financial decisions. – I find through discussion you pick up bits maybe that have been overlooked also encouraging to go back and read over bits to enhance discussions. Then from November going through past paper questions for two/three weeks.

I am in GMT timezone – looking for a group in similar time zones

If you’re looking for the same sort of thing please let me know.
