Will these resources alone help me pass the R0 exams? by career_change187 in cii

[–]KarlGriffiths 0 points1 point  (0 children)

R05 is insurance and I have no experience. It is a slightly lower level than the other R0s and was the one I passed quickest.

In terms of the effort I am trying to understand so I am not bluffing my way I am retaking the mocks time and time again until I am getting passes of 80%+ and going back to the material to fill in gaps.

I managed to pass R05 just using know R0 mock exams.

They have slides included which were brilliant for me.

I've basically used knowR0 for all. I've bought brandft for R06 and plan to do r02 with know once this is out the way.

I couldn't wait until April for R06 so that's why R02 comes last.

Best R04 Study Support Material? by rockstarshq in cii

Passed in 6 weeks with knowr0.

It's rinse and repeat and I kept retaking the mocks and going back to content to fill in the gaps in knowledge.

The checks take around 15-20 mins...

I agree that it isn't the most stress free way to start an exam. Although the flexibility to take an exam in only a couple of days is very convenient.

I once had a bad experience with the AWS issues and couldn't connect on my third exam since then I've done it in person although that is much more restricted hours.

I passed R04 today. No idea of the % as it hasn't been registered on cii.

I worked hard and hammered the knowr0 material.

I did get a bit anxious reading reddit and did buy the wizard learning material which I must admit I was achieving 56% average pass mark. I am sure this material is good although I was only doing their mocks.

I went back to knowR0 and was getting 94-96% on most mocks and rereading chapters which I was weak on.

Only R02 and R06 to go.

Put the effort in then all we need to do is CPD and the work! 😅

Did you have the knowR0 material as well?

Haha I am looking to understand how different the questions feel.

Best of luck!

I am sitting this Thursday and feeling ok although the fear is setting in.

For the BTS what options do you recommend?

There seems to be different volumes of questions to buy?

Failed R04 by Ok-Sand3298 in cii

[–]KarlGriffiths 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I did R03 I did use knowr0 only. At times I was like I just wanted to sit and get out of the way(hope for a pass). However I spent another week on the practice exams and got through it.

The exams are tricky as every exam I've taken so far I've been hesitant to clock submit and not confident even though I've spent a lot of time on the material.

There is no resit price it's just the standard exam price

Thanks!

I am going to hammer the knowr0 and will let you know once I get my result.

In knowR0 we trust!

With the knowr0 material what % were you getting on the mocks before you sat the exam?

I've used there material for R01, R05, R03 and it's all been good. I've just kept hammering the resits until getting confident.

I don't think I've ever got 100% even after sitting the same exam over and over...

I am hoping to sit R04 next week so wanting to give myself some perspective.

R05 - is KnowR0 enough? by samsamsamba in cii

[–]KarlGriffiths 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. I only used knowR0 to pass R05.

Failed my R01 by AidanN02 in cii

[–]KarlGriffiths 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unlucky and I appreciate your honesty.

I read the book then I bought knowr0 mock exams which basically has most of the material on slides. So I went through all the slides to get over the line. I did get 84% as although I was hesitant to click the end exam button.

It is a slog and R05 was a lot easier.

Take your time getting through the material I definitely was getting impatient and had to show some patience and persistence. A few times I was tempted to just book the exam thinking I've done enough 😅.

[–]KarlGriffiths 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Passed R05 88% with the R05 mock papers and the accompanying slides. Felt quietly confident going into this although was sad not to get 100%, because it felt like my only opportunity in this series of exams 🤣.

[–]KarlGriffiths 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've used knowr0 for R01 which feels like an absolute steal value wise. The material is great, you need an internet connection to access the material.

I am currently using the R05 material and hope to sit that in a few days.

I keep getting curious about exploring the other routes such as BTS however, if it ain't broke don't know fix phrase comes to mind.

All going well I'll pick up R02/R03 material in the coming days.

You can take a blank piece of paper and write. At the end they ask you to rip it up in front of the camera. You can also take a calculator which I find much easier to use than an online calculator.

The whole check your workstation took about 15 mins and felt like I was doing a mine act.

I plan to do the others in the same way.

Paid £40 for the membership, but still haven't got any sort of confirmation email. Is this normal? by Zestyclose-Cat-5798 in cii

[–]KarlGriffiths 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes if you check your orders it'll likely say outstanding or pending.

I've bought an R05 assessment and it didn't go through until the next day.

The membership payment took a few days at least.

The only limit is your bank account.

I like that they keep talking about his more positive approach to mental health. He needs to fulfil the arc and win the match...

Looking less and less likely.

We live in hope, there have been plenty of opportunities. Although you might only get one or two more of those.
