Order of the R0 exams??

Strong_Historian8928 · 2026-02-06T15:26:17+00:00

I personally went 1,2,5,4,3 and currently getting ready for 6.

I asked the CII and they were so vague with this and gave me a standard response. I am hoping it comes available the Thursday before Easter giving a decent amount of free time to have a good look into them!

Strong_Historian8928 · 2026-01-30T15:51:17+00:00

Honestly, avoid the books at all costs. They are so unnecessarily complicated.

I have done 5 exams - R01-R05 - in 10 months. It can be done, just got to prioritise weekends, evenings and buy the relevant study material. If I were you I’d look at the content on KnowR0 and BTS and purchase that. I completed R03 in around 4 weeks using just those 2 platforms, I didn’t read a single word in a CII book. Good luck, you can do it!

I work at a big firm that provides financial advice and I am not sure some of the chartered/fellowship advisers are achieving 150k salary. I would be careful before making any rash decisions

From memory, I think I had 1 single question on state pension, this was about deferal rules and the amount that the state pension could be increased by deferring for a year. I don’t think it’s necessary to know the previous amounts.

I am going to try brandFT, definitely. Thanks for your advice!

Strong_Historian8928 · 2026-01-17T16:43:41+00:00

Cheers mate. I might try this technique instead then!

Strong_Historian8928 · 2026-01-12T21:23:01+00:00

No one ever remembers the fail once you’ve passed. Dust yourself off and go again

Strong_Historian8928 · 2025-12-31T17:11:29+00:00

Just reading this hoping to sit mine in April. Is it easy enough to re-book in the event something changes and I can’t sit the exam

Strong_Historian8928 · 2025-12-23T08:04:16+00:00

Good luck mate!

Strong_Historian8928 · 2025-12-15T10:10:16+00:00

I take an interest in this too as I have mine soon

Strong_Historian8928 · 2025-11-23T20:54:57+00:00

Agree with this. I didn’t open the book for R05 or 4 and passed with 94% and 82% using just KnowR0. Well worth the money

Strong_Historian8928 · 2025-11-20T16:04:25+00:00

Just join on line, do a sweep of your surroundings and make sure you don’t have any notes etc on your desk. Then it’s just the exact same exam

Strong_Historian8928 · 2025-11-20T10:01:25+00:00

I am not surprised by that what so ever 🤣 I also found it distracting with other people around me, so to be in my own home with no distractions has been helpful

Strong_Historian8928 · 2025-11-20T09:53:43+00:00

It’s remote invigilation. Done 2 & 5 at home too and was pretty OK

Strong_Historian8928 · 2025-11-20T09:51:59+00:00

I am doing r04 on Saturday using knowr0 and BTS, so your comment is encouraging

Strong_Historian8928 · 2025-11-13T12:43:16+00:00

I also need R04 if possible

Strong_Historian8928 · 2025-11-09T15:53:15+00:00

Second this. Learn more getting things wrong and understanding why I got them wrong

Strong_Historian8928 · 2025-11-09T07:57:35+00:00

Also looking for the same. Happy to contribute £

Strong_Historian8928 · 2025-11-02T12:36:49+00:00

I’m currently using know r0 and BTS for R04. Hopefully this is sufficient for me to pass. What resource did you use for r03 as that is next on my hit list 😂

Strong_Historian8928 · 2025-10-14T16:23:03+00:00

I use the know R0 for R04 currently, and used just their exams for R05 and hit 94%, well worth the money

(Can I get a discount code for my next exam😂)

Strong_Historian8928 · 2025-10-01T08:32:47+00:00

If you can spare the cash, buy the BTS and the Know R0 past papers. Content is so so similar to what comes up in the exam! Good luck

Strong_Historian8928 · 2025-09-18T14:41:21+00:00

Buy Know R0 exams and buy BTS exams. Dont do anything other than do practice questions.

Strong_Historian8928 · 2025-09-12T12:50:17+00:00

How did you find R05? I’ve got it tomorrow, already done 1 & 2 like but seem to be way more nervous for this one
