Help us shape our new exam system

26 July 2023

We need your feedback to help shape our new exam system.

We want to find out more about the equipment you use when you sit IFoA exams, so we can make fair and equitable decisions about our future exam system and guidance.

While we have collected valuable insight from our April 2023 post exam survey on the equipment candidates use and the locations where they sit exams, we want to understand whether this reflects your experience.

Feedback from our recent April 2023 post exam survey indicated that:

Exam equipment

• 73% of respondents used a laptop to sit their exams,
• 5% of respondents used a desktop computer, and
• 22% of respondents used two screens.

Equipment provider

• 29% of respondents used employer provided equipment, and
• 71% of respondents used their own equipment.

Where you sit exams

• 95% of respondents sit exams at home,
• 4% of respondents sit exams in their place of work, and
• 1% of respondents sit exams somewhere else.

Please help us gather more data to help us shape our future exam service and guidance by completing this short survey on where and how you sit your exams.
