Exam Tips
- In case studies, always start by clarifying whether the query falls under information, guidance, or advice; this sets the legal context.
- Use structured frameworks (e.g., member's stage, scheme type, options table) to ensure no critical factor is missed.
- When discussing transfers, always highlight the loss of safeguarded benefits and the warning signs of pension scams.
- For DC choices, present annuity and drawdown side by side with clear pros and cons tailored to the member’s health and risk appetite.
- In role-play assessments, demonstrate active listening: paraphrase the member’s concerns and use bridging statements before providing information.
- Remember that death benefits often depend on membership status and scheme rules—double-check whether the member is active, deferred, or retired.
