WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW TO PASS EXAM 6

The journey to passing Exam 6 is one of commitment, dedication, and rigorous practice. It's not just about memorizing facts but understanding the underlying concepts, refining your time management skills, and adapting to the CBT format. The challenge may seem daunting, but with the right approach, resources, and mindset, success is within your grasp.

INTRODUCTION

Exam 6 consists of over 60 different and mostly unrelated articles. This makes studying challenging as it takes awhile to figure out a logical way to tackle all that material. Luckily, we have done that for you. See our suggestions below as to how to organize and create a study pathway for Exam 6.

Another note is that the syllabus changes quite often for Exam 6. If you have taken Exam 6 before, make sure you look at the our Syllabus Changes article. We’ve highlighted all the changes you need to know.

HOW IS EXAM 6 DIFFERENT?

  • As with Exam 5, it's a short answer-style exam (versus multiple choice).
  • Exam 6 is all about memorization vs calculation.
  • Exam 6 takes about 15% more study time than Exam 5.
  • Exam 6 covers a lot of material. BattleActs condenses the material for you to a realistic amount.
  • Unlike Exam 5, you don't have to read the articles in any particular order.
  • The material is very broad and the subjects don't fit together particularly well, especially in the regulation sections. We point out relationships between readings where possible.
  • The syllabus changes often across sittings which adds extra prep time if you are taking the exam again. Save valuable time by reading the Syllabus Changes article. This feature means you don't need to spend valuable study time hunting through articles trying to figure out what has changed.
