I really wish the ICRM would do something online for those of us that 
don't have a workshop near them.

Jeanne, and all Part 6 Candidates:

I could tell you exactly what will be on the exam and how to answer the 
questions and how to pass the exam. But I won't because I'm ethically 
bound  not to do so, and also because I don't have to -- the ICRM HAS 
ALREADY DONE THAT!

The ICRM has a handbook on their website:

http://www.icrm.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/ICRM-Handbook-v2013-09-18.pdf

This handbook gives you the format of the Part 6 questions, tells you how 
to (and how not not to) answer the questions, and has a sample exam. 

If you passed Parts 1 - 5, you should be confident that you are at a 
certain level in your knowledge of the relevant material. In addition to 
knowing the material, reading the handbook and following the handbook's 
and the exam's directions for answering the questions will be one of the 
most important things you do to pass. 

Here are some hints: When the exam instructions say to answer in narrative 
form as if you were submitting a narrative report to an executive, then 
you should answer in a narrative form as if you were submitting a 
narrative report to an executive. When the exam instructions say don't use 
bullet points (unless each is followed by narrative), then don't use 
bullet points (unless each is followed by narrative.) When the exam 
instructions give you the exact section-by-section outline organization of 
the answer that they want you to frame your answer in, then use that exact 
section-by-section outline organization to frame your answer. The Handbook 
states clearly that "You will lose points" if you do not follow specific 
directions from the exam instructions when writing your answer. 

Just last week someone asked me how they pass Part 6, and I said "Follow 
the directions." They thought I was kidding them, until I explained.  I 
know it sounds too simplistic, but I can tell you definitively that 
following the handbook and exam directions can  be difference between 
passing and failing Part 6.
