Frequently asked questions

How closely do these mocks match the real Core 1 exam?

The mock runs the same shape as the live paper — 80 multiple-choice questions in 2 hours — with question allocation weighted across the syllabus chapters and a server-authoritative timer that doesn't pause.

Are answers explained?

Every question carries a full explanation, and regulation questions cite their source — COBS, FSMA, PRIN and the rest — so you learn the rule, not just the letter.

Is there a free version?

Yes. The Free plan gives you a 100-question sample of one exam of your choice, with Quick Tests and Chapter Quizzes (two a day) and five Full Mocks in total at one per week. No card needed. Pro is £14.99 per exam, per month and unlocks the full bank, unlimited sessions and the AI tutor.

Is the content current for 2025/26?

Yes. Questions are written to the 2025/26 UK tax year and the current syllabus editions (for CII units, the 2025-26 examination guides examinable to 31 August 2026). An automated accuracy audit re-checks a rolling sample of the bank every day and quarantines anything that looks wrong before you see it.
