⚠ IMPORTANT WARNING: DO NOT USE OLD OR SHARED RE5 STUDY MATERIAL

Using old or “forwarded” RE5 study notes can cause you to fail your RE5 exam at Moonstone.

Here’s why it is risky:

- - Outdated content = wrong answers.
    When the FSCA updates legislation (the FAIS Act and other applicable laws), Moonstone updates the RE5 exam questions. Old material does not reflect these changes.
  - Our material is kept up to date.
    We update our RE5 study material whenever FSCA changes are gazetted, so that it stays aligned with the latest exam requirements.
  - Sharing our material is illegal.
    All RE5 Online study material is protected by copyright. Copying, forwarding or distributing it without permission is a copyright infringement and could have serious consequences.

Protect your exam result and protect yourself:
Always use the latest official RE5 Online study material that you received directly from us.
