The online practice questions can be attempted multiple times.
An online practice test is available to test takers who have completed their registration for the FA exam.
The practice test can be accessed in the 'Purchases' section of your ACER candidate account.
Once the practice test is completed, the final ‘Test review’ page identifies which multiple-choice questions have been answered correctly or incorrectly. By clicking on the page numbers on the ‘Practice Unit’ bar, specific question(s) can be reviewed.
To reset the questions and remove the responses, click the ‘Restart test’ button in the bottom left of the ‘Test review’ page.
ACER does not provide guidance or feedback regarding practice questions or answers.
Total test time is 3 hours, with an additional 15 minutes of reading time at the start of your test. You should not answer any questions during this time, as any answers entered during reading time will not be saved. You will need to manage your time for each question and do what works for you.
It is recommended that you work steadily through the test. It is advisable that you do not spend too much time on any one question.
Ensure you read the questions carefully. You will need to use your judgement and select the best answer based on the question asked, especially when you feel there may be more than one correct answer.
If you think you know the answer to a question, answer it, even if you are not certain. Marks are not deducted for incorrect responses. Make a note of the question number and return to it later if you have time.
If you do not answer a question, the question number will not be shaded in the navigation bar at the top of the page. By using the navigation bar, you can easily find and return to the question later if you have time.
