You’re planning to take the RE5 exam – great! So how will you prepare? Many people invest in a quality RE5 exam prep course, while others try to piece things together from free stuff online. Whatever approach you choose, you should make sure your precious time is well spent – and that you give yourself the best chance of passing.

Remember, failure comes at a cost: the RE5 exam is expensive, so having to rewrite it costs a lot of money. Plus, it’s stressful and time-consuming.

How should you choose the right approach to preparing for the RE5 exam? Here’s a checklist to help you make a confident choice – starting with the essentials, and then some helpful extras.

Must-haves

• ✓

  Up-to-date and complete RE5 study material. The RE5 syllabus is extensive and changes regularly. You don’t want to miss current material or waste time studying what no longer matters.

• ✓

  Realistic exam practice. The RE5 exam has its own style of questions and structure. Not all practice material is equally useful – some will prepare you properly, and some just won’t. Sadly, most of the questions that are freely available online do not prepare you well for the questions you’ll get on the exam.

• ✓

  Meaningful and memorable. Even if you’re already a rep, or planning to be one, financial regulations can be dry and hard to remember – they just feel like thousands of words, page after page. A good RE5 course is interesting, and helps you really understand the legislation, making it much easier to recall.

• ✓

  Quick, expert course support. You’ll have questions along the way, and you should expect prompt, clear and accurate replies.

Without these core features, you’re setting yourself up for needless frustration – and possibly for failure.

Some nice-to-haves

• ✓

  Competitive pricing. Look for a course that offers real value for what it delivers.

• ✓

  Available at all times. An RE5 online course that lets you study any time – day or night, weekday or weekend – will help you keep moving forward.

• ✓

  Multimedia learning. Many people learn best through a mix of formats that reinforce one another, like videos, slides, short quizzes, and mock exams.
