Before you start

Every question has four choices (A, B, C, D) and one correct answer. Keep a financial calculator next to you for the time value of money questions; questions give any tax figure they need.
Within a section you can skip, go back, change answers and flag questions. Each section has its own 3-hour clock, which keeps running in background tabs and reloads. When section 1 ends it stays closed; the real exam has a 40-minute break before section 2, and here section 2’s clock starts when you continue.
