The RO6 preparation day aims to increase your chances of passing the exam.

This intensive workshop will work through the case studies that will be examined in the July 2020 sitting.

The exam is based on two narrative case studies that will be issued approximately two weeks before the exam. Typically one is about a couple with young children and the other is concerned with a couple in their 60s who have either retired or are on the verge of doing so. You will also be given each couple’s financial objectives.

The exam tests your ability to give advice so will cover:

• what additional information you need to give advice

• what options are available that would enable the client to meet their objectives

• the advantages and disadvantages of the different options

• an explanation of the product you have recommended

• what you would discuss at a future review
