M_o_R Practitioner Exam Structure

The exam includes one imaginary scenario set in an organization in which you must apply your understanding of risk management. The questions in the exam are all based on the same scenario and can cover any of the following issues from the manual:

• Management of risk principles
• Management of risk approach
• Management of risk process
• Embedding and reviewing the management of risk
• Common techniques
• Risk specialisms

As a result, when studying for the exam, you must ensure that you have read – and can navigate – the whole manual.

M_o_R Practitioner Exam Timing

M_o_R is a three-hour open book exam that requires you to read the scenario and additional information.

Allow a maximum of 15 minutes at the start of the exam to read the situation but do not read the other information. Only do this when answering a specific question. If you take the exam online, you will only see the additional information when you reach the valid question.

Allow approximately 35 minutes to answer each question (all parts), including any additional information read.

Highlight the questions that you are unclear about and want to review. Use the “flag” functionality to do this online. In a paper-based exam, turn the page corner down. Put an answer down and move on; don’t waste time staring at questions you don’t understand. When you return to the question, your perspective on it may have shifted!

You will have approximately 25 minutes to review any questions you wish to review.

Question Format

The exam includes various types of questions:

• Standard classic (choose one of four answers) – for example, “which action addresses this issue?” ”
• Selecting two answers per question line is referred to as multiple responses. Both must be correct to receive a mark, for example, “which two explanations explain why…?” ”
• Matching questions need you to “match” the statements in the left column with the descriptions in the right column. Column 2 (the right-hand column) selections are typically used once, more than once, or not at all.
  • Assertion-reason – these questions are divided into three columns:
  • A statement made by the left
  • Because the word “because” in the middle
  • On the right, is a reason.
  • Answer the right-hand “reason” column first by selecting true or false. Then repeat with the “assertion” column on the left. A key in the box at the top indicates the letter to select.

M_o_R Practitioner Exam Preparation

Before taking the live exam, you can complete one sample paper. If you book your exam through an Accredited Training Organization, you will receive a second sample paper.

Each sample paper includes:

• Scenario booklet (similar to the one you’ll see in the live exam, but with a different scenario)
• Questionnaire booklet
• The rationale explains which option is correct and why.

Complete the paper(s) – Maybe in timed parts, if that’s simpler for you – then mark them using the rationale, carefully reflecting on the problems you got wrong. Make a note in your manual in case you encounter a question like this on the exam. Re-read the text if you scored extremely low in a particular area.
