Don’t book your Moonstone exam until you’ve passed an exam-readiness review.
Most people fail because they book too early or study the wrong stuff. We’ll tell you exactly what to fix and the fastest way to get ready.
With RE5 Online, you choose how you prepare for the regulatory exams. Select the study method that fits your goals, schedule, and budget.
Mock exams are for assessment. Use to spot weak areas, then follow a structured plan.
Best for disciplined learners. Includes updated material + tools, but you must follow the plan.
Live evenings, replay access, support. Best option for accountability and faster results.

Reality Check (2026)
Most candidates don’t fail because they’re “not smart enough”. They fail because they follow the wrong prep process. Fix these three mistakes and your chances improve fast.
Shared notes and old PDFs are often outdated or incomplete. If your material isn’t aligned to current exam updates, you can study for weeks and still miss what the exam tests.
Do this instead: Use 2026-aligned study material and follow a structured plan.
Mock exams are for assessment, timing, and training your eye. They are not the real Moonstone exam questions. Memorising mock answers creates false confidence.
Do this instead: Study first, then use mocks to test weak areas and improve exam technique.
Booking early feels productive, but it’s risky. Without a plan and readiness checks, candidates often panic-study and fail, then pay again to rebook.
Do this instead: Only book once you’ve completed your prep plan and passed a readiness review.
Start with a proven study plan and get aligned, 2026-ready preparation.
