R01

little_green

hi is anyone able to recommend good study material for R01 alongside the official cii ones? I see Brand FT seem to be popular.
is it worth paying extra for the enrollment plus option?
also if anyone has anything they wouldnt mind sharing that would be helpful too, but a response to the thread will suffice

Hi little_green,

I sat the R01 exam 2 weeks ago, I passed first time with a score of 86.

I opted for the 'exam only' option and used the following resources to prepare:

CII question pack 1 & 2
Brand FT question packs (set 1,2,3)
Wizard Learning R01 Gap Analysis & Assessment Tool
Wizard Learning Online Multimedia Course
Free cii exam guide, Inclusive of 1 mock exam, link below:

I went through the Wizard Learning online multimedia course twice.

I then focused the majority of my attention on the question packs, I went through each question pack 6 or 7 times. I studied for approximately 3 weeks (2 hours per day).

With the benefit of hindsight, there is only one thing I would do differently. I think the official cii study guide, included with the standard enrolment, would have made my life a little easier. Each question in the packs includes a cross-reference to the cii text, checking incorrect answers would have been a lot more efficient.

Feel free to pm me if you have any further questions.
