We want to support candidates as we transition to our new online exam system and OBA format exams for our CB1 and CB2 subjects.
We are publishing a range of resources for candidates over the coming months to support their preparations and enable candidates to familiarise themselves with the new exam system well in advance of April 2024.
To sit familiarisation exams on our new online system, candidates can now visit our familiarisation exam web page.
Familiarisation exams allow candidates to experience using our new exam system before their exam, giving candidates an opportunity to navigate around the new exam system and practice using the new system tools and functionality.
We strongly recommend candidates sit familiarisation exams to get used to using the new online exam system and tools at the earliest possible opportunity.
Candidates can now practice using the new online exam system and tool by sitting an essay style exam, which includes questions from past IFoA Specialist Principal and Specialist Advanced exam papers.
Candidates can also sit CB1 and CB2 objective based assessment (OBA) format familiarisation exams to gain experience using the online exam system and practice answering OBA style exam questions.
