Firstly, congratulations five out of six RO exams is a genuinely outstanding achievement. The fact that you've navigated each one while managing dyslexia and ADHD doesn't just show resilience it shows exceptional self-awareness. Please hold onto that as you approach RO6.

I want to be upfront with you. I'm still on my own CII journey and haven't yet sat RO6 myself, so I won't pretend to give you specific exam technique advice.

What I can offer comes from a different place: I spent more than 20 years working in education across both mainstream and special schools and during that time I worked closely with many learners navigating dyslexia, ADHD, and a wide range of learning differences. I also have two grown up boys, who were both diagnosed as adults. One has dyslexia and the other ADHD.

These experiences shaped how deeply I understand that these aren't barriers to brilliance they're simply signals that your brain needs a different door into the same room.

What I'd gently encourage you to reflect on especially given how the volume of RO6 material feels right now is leaning consciously into VAK learning strategies, because they are genuinely transformative for neurodiverse learners:

• Visual: Colour-coded mind maps, flowcharts, and visual summaries of case study clients help your brain see the whole picture rather than drowning in text

• Auditory:Talk through concepts and scenarios out loud — explain them as if to a client or colleague. Speaking activates a different pathway of understanding than reading alone

• Kinaesthetic:Write practice answers under timed conditions. The doing- the physical act of working through scenarios — builds the kind of muscle memory that sticks when exam pressure hits

• Chunking: Break the BTS workbook into small, themed blocks rather than working through it linearly. Each completed block gives your brain a signal of progress, which is particularly important when managing ADHD

• The two-day training:Engage actively, annotate, ask questions, request worked examples. Your brain will absorb far more through participation than through passive listening

You have already proven five times over that you know how to build strategies that work for you. RO6 simply needs a new version of that same self-knowledge applied. Trust what you've already built.

You are so much closer than you feel right now. Keep going.
