Before you buy

What do I get?

Two full R01 practice exams of 100 questions each, two hours each: 87 standard questions with four options and 13 multiple response questions, spread across the eleven learning outcomes following the numbers the CII’s 2026/27 syllabus gives as its guide. Every answer comes with an explanation naming the rule, the Act or the syllabus point behind it. Each exam runs in our exam player (timer, question palette, mark for review) and ends with your score by learning outcome. Retake either exam as often as you like; access does not expire.

Is this the current R01 format?

It follows the format the CII describes in its R01 syllabus and its R01 examination guide for exams from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2027 (both published June 2026), read on 25 October 2026: 100 multiple-choice questions, 87 standard format and 13 multiple response, in two hours. The one difference is how our multiple response questions are shown, below.

How are the multiple response questions shown?

The CII’s examination guide says that in a multiple response question more than one option is correct and you must select all the correct options to gain the mark. Our player takes one answer per question, so each of our multiple response questions lists numbered statements and you choose the one option that names every correct statement and no other: you score only if you pick that option.

What is the R01 pass mark?

The CII’s R01 unit page states that the standard pass mark is 65%. The CII explains that, where necessary, it adjusts marks for the difficulty of each exam version so that the same standard applies. Compare your practice score with 65%, remembering that a practice score is not a prediction.

Are these real exam questions?

No. They are original questions written to the learning outcomes in the CII’s R01 syllabus. They are not CII specimen or exam questions, and the CII has not written or endorsed them. The CII’s own examination guide, on its R01 unit page, contains a specimen exam; use it too.

Which rules do the questions follow?

UK financial services regulation and English law as we understand them in October 2026, for the 2026/27 syllabus. Figures the CII updates during the year, such as compensation and award limits and tax rates, are left out on purpose.

Will my score here predict my R01 result?

No. A practice score shows where you are strong and weak on our questions; it is not a forecast of your exam result.

How do I pay and get access?

One payment by card, handled by our payment provider. The price is shown and charged in pounds in the UK, in your own currency elsewhere where we support it, and otherwise in Indian rupees. Access opens on this device straight after payment. Sign in afterwards to keep it on your account.

Independent practice, not written or endorsed by the Chartered Insurance Institute (CII). These are original questions, not CII specimen or exam questions.
