OOPS!
Sorry for the confusion Delta.
NO! you DO NOT need to start your IR within 6 months of passing your final written exam...thank goodness!!!
What I meant to say, and failed, was that in my opinion, you should start your IR at least 6 months before the END of the 36 month period following your exams. This is in order that you can fit your IR into the timescale.
Now I have to say that this is only my understanding of the deadline, and I would also welcome clarification.
Sorry again for the confusion
