Having passed part 6 in November, an area of my work experience that I found
helpful was not only records management but organizational management in
general.  I think it is important to understand personnel management and
corporate structure and how records management interacts with all levels of
the organization.

One last comment from someone who has graded Part 6 exams - the ones I have
given low points usually scored poorly because the papers displayed a lack
of knowledge about basic records management principles. The failing papers
tended to repeat one or two principles over and over in a variety of ways,
while missing "the big picture". This was disappointing as a reader since I
know the candidates have to know enough to get through Parts 1-5 before
taking Part 6, but were unable to spit out that knowledge in the exam.
