With five exam sittings remaining for existing advisers to sit and pass the exam, FASEA has drawn advisers’ attention to support and materials available to assist their exam preparation.

This includes a pre-exam webinar series and a statement from the authority says advisers who book to sit an exam will be invited to attend a pre-exam webinar hosted by FASEA. The webinar covers exam essentials including:

  • An understanding of how the exam is constructed
  • What the exam is testing
  • The type of questions you can expect and how best to structure your responses
  • How to use FASEA’s preparation resources
  • Various tips for how to plan your study and exam day

It says there is an opportunity to ask the presenter questions at the end.

The webinar is free and will be run before each exam sitting in 2021. Only advisers who have registered for the exam will receive an e-invite.
