      How is it different from asking ChatGPT?

      TutorBot teaches from Finntutors' exclusive F3 notes, so it explains things the way your course does and shows you which chapter each answer comes from.

      The objectives of an organisation, integrated reporting, developing a financial strategy, equity and debt finance, capital structure, dividend policy, financial risk, currency and interest rate risk management, mergers and acquisitions, business valuation, and pricing and post-transaction issues.

      F3 is a computer-based objective test: 60 questions in 90 minutes. You will see multiple choice, multiple response, number entry, drop-down, and drag and drop questions, and occasionally hot spot questions. Every question carries the same marks and there is no penalty for a wrong answer.
