How our mock exams are built
Both regulatory examinations are multiple choice, and both punish half-knowledge. RE5 is 50 questions in 2 hours with a 65% pass mark; RE1 is 80 questions in 2 hours 30 minutes and is written from a key individual's oversight perspective. Our mock papers match those lengths exactly, so writing one is a rehearsal rather than a quiz.
Questions are written against the official qualifying criteria tasks and use the same style of close, competing answer options the real papers use. Each paper comes with a full memo that gives the correct option and the reasoning behind it, so a marked paper turns into a study list.
- RE5 papers: 50 questions, 2-hour format, 65% target
- RE1 papers: 80 questions, 2.5-hour format, oversight framing
- Full answer memos with the reasoning, not just a letter
- Three papers per exam so you can retest after revising
The way most candidates should use them
Write your first paper early — before you feel ready. A cold score is the only honest measure of where you stand, and it stops you spending three weeks re-reading topics you already know.
Then revise by theme, not by question. Write the second paper under strict conditions a week or two later, and keep the third as a dress rehearsal a few days before your booked date at the venue.
Free papers, practice packs and full material
There are three ways to get mock exams from us. The free RE5 and RE1 mock papers cost nothing and are the best place to start. The R150 practice packs give you three full papers with memos for a single exam if you already have study material.
The R350 study packs include the same three papers plus the 2026 study guide, summaries, the FAIS Act, the General Code of Conduct, reference guides and WhatsApp mentorship — that is the option most candidates writing for the first time choose.
Mock exam questions
How many mock exams do I get?
Three full papers per exam, each with a complete answer memo. They are included in the R350 study packs and sold on their own as the R150 practice packs.
Are your mock exams the same length as the real paper?
Yes. RE5 papers are 50 questions for a 2-hour sitting and RE1 papers are 80 questions for 2 hours 30 minutes.
Do the answers explain the reasoning?
Every memo gives the correct option and explains why, pointing you back to the part of the law or the study guide the question came from.
Can I try one before paying?
Yes. The free RE5 mock exam and the free RE1 mock exam are full-length papers with answers included, and they cost nothing.
Should I buy the practice pack or the full study material?
If you already have current study material, the R150 practice pack is enough. If you are starting out or rewriting, the R350 pack gives you the guide, legislation, summaries and mentorship as well.
All RE5 and RE1 options
