CII revision that tells you what to study next.

Built by a career changer studying the same exams.
What is live now
Start with R01 or R02 if you want one finished module. Choose Full Access if you want the whole platform from the beginning.
"R0Ready has been invaluable in preparing me for the R01 exam, a very dry topic usually. The application is easy to use, well designed and gets to the crux of what applicants need to know."
Questions come back at deliberate intervals, explanations are built into the flow, and the app keeps surfacing what actually needs attention next.
Where most people start.
R01 and R02 are both complete. Every question tested, every explanation refined, every mock calibrated. R01 is still where most people begin — the syllabus rewards it — but the platform runs to R05.
R01: Financial services, regulation and ethics
It combines a full question bank with a spaced repetition system, timed mock exams, and clear explanations for every answer. The aim is not just to get you through more questions. It is to help you remember what you have covered, spot where your understanding is thin, and build the kind of recall that holds up under exam conditions.
Questions are introduced gradually, then brought back at increasing intervals as recall improves. That gives you a clearer sense of progress, and a more useful way to revise than endlessly starting again from the top. If you buy Full Access, the same product logic carries across R02 to R05 as well, with R03 to R05 still being tightened up.
- 230 original exam-style questions across all 10 R01 modules
- Spaced repetition review with adaptive intervals
- Two timed mock exams
- Detailed explanations for every answer
- Difficulty filtering
- Progress tracking across modules
- Short, manageable study sessions
A correct answer pushes the question further out. A weak one brings it back sooner. The point is simple: to spend less time rereading material you half-recognise, and more time strengthening what is still fragile.
It is not official CII material, not a coaching programme, and not a subscription library trying to become everything at once. It is a single-purpose revision product built carefully around one exam, then expanded from there.
Built by someone who wanted a better way to revise.
I'm Michael Rice. I'm training as a financial adviser, and I built R0Ready because I wanted a revision tool that felt more serious than the usual options.
When I started studying, most of what I found fell into two camps: expensive courses that made the process bigger than it needed to be, or flat question banks that gave you no real help in remembering what you had covered. Plenty of material. Not much method.
R0Ready is my attempt to build something better: small, focused, and grounded in how memory actually works. Spaced repetition has been used for years in other demanding fields because it does something ordinary revision often fails to do. It helps knowledge stay put.
Before this I studied philosophy, taught abroad, and worked in edtech. I also write Unadvised, a newsletter about money, work, and career change.
If you're a financial advice practice, network, or training provider with staff working toward CII qualifications, R0Ready can help.
Our spaced repetition platform gives your team a structured, self-paced way to prepare for R0 exams with 230+ exam-style questions, detailed explanations, timed mock exams, and built-in progress tracking.
No subscriptions. No per-month fees. Just one-time access that your team keeps.

Free podcast companion to R0Ready.
One module at a time, one episode per topic. Hosted by someone sitting the exams right now — and making these because nothing forces you to learn something properly like having to explain it out loud.
The podcast is there to sit alongside the app, not replace it. Use the question bank to find where your recall is thin, then use the episodes to hear the topic worked through clearly and out loud.
It is free to listen to, paced around the same syllabus, and built for commutes, walks, and the parts of the week when opening the textbook is a stretch.
- One episode per topic, following the syllabus rather than wandering off into generic finance chat.
- Useful when reading is impractical but you still want to keep the material moving.
- Made by someone sitting the same exams, so the emphasis stays on what actually matters.
