Hello Guys this is Rahul and i’m new to this forum. i would like to share my Rpeb exam experience and knowledge.First thing this is my first exam, concepts in this module required in depth analysis especially TVM, and From the exam perspective there is no standardized books for practicing problems but i would recommend you to refer FPA books and try to solve every questions to make sure whether your are perfect in solving TVM related sums.Second thing do not focus on memorizing concepts, but exam demands much more of the student, requiring not only knowledge of the material, but also the ability to correctly synthesize and apply it to actual Retirement planning situations.
Third thing read book thoroughly for theoretical questions and last thing exam was damn tough don’t know about other modules but i felt it was toughest and unable to grasp some methods to solve problems.
All the best for RPEB exams
Regards
Rahul MJ
