Study smarter. Build self-confidence.
Getting your RE5 certificate is a big step, and we want to help you prepare for the regulatory exam in the best way possible. We’ve created structured study plans to match timelines between 2 and 5 weeks of exam preparation.
But let’s be honest…
The biggest mistake students make is not committing to 1 hour of study per day for at least 25 days. That’s what it takes to properly prepare for and pass the RE5 exam.
If you’re under pressure and your exam is already booked, don’t panic —we’ll give you a free RE5 study plan to guide you to use the time you have left best. Just know that the less time you have, the more focused and intense your studying for the Moonstone exam needs to be.

2-Week Study Plan
Emergency RE5 Exam Prep—High Focus, High Pressure
This plan is for students who book the exam very soon and need to make the most of the limited time. It’s fast and intense and only recommended if you’ve recently attended a webinar or workshop and are looking for a revision structure.
What’s Inside:
- Focus on high-weight chapters: Code of Conduct, FAIS Act, and Licence Maintenance
- Daily study time: 2+ hours
- At least 4 mock exams spaced over 14 days
- No fluff—just what’s essential to pass
Warning:
This plan falls short of the 25-day self-study minimum. Only suitable for those who’ve recently completed training and need a revision structure. If you’re new or uncertain, this is not an option.
| Pros ✅ | Cons ❌ |
| – Condensed and goal-driven – Includes mock exams – Focused on core high-weight topics – Perfect emergencies | – Only recommended for students who attended workshops or online classes recently – Extremely intense – No margin for missed days – Not enough time for deep understanding |
3-Week Study Plan
Structured Catch-Up—Shorter Time, Sharper Focus
Ideal for students who’ve attended classes recently and have 3 weeks to revise, practice, and refresh. You’ll need to commit to focused study every day without skipping.
What’s Inside:
- Week 1: Code of Conduct & FAIS Framework
- Week 2: Licensing, Key Individuals & Representative Role
- Week 3: FIC, Complaints & Revision
- 60–90 minutes/day + mock exams + recap summaries
Warning:
You’re still under the recommended 25-day preparation period. This plan is only suitable if you’ve had recent RE5 training and can study consistently every day.
| Pros ✅ | Cons ❌ |
| – Realistic for students who attended classes recently – Covers all priority topics – Includes mock exams – Good balance of reading and testing | – Only recommended for students who have had training within the last 6 months – Still below the 25-day study minimum – Limited time for revision – Requires daily discipline |
4-Week Study Plan
Balanced & Effective—Most Recommended Plan
This is the sweet spot for most students, especially if you’ve had classes before, but it’s been a while. Or if you are working in the industry at the moment. It gives you the structure and breathing room to study, test, and revise confidently.
What’s Inside:
- Week 1–2: Code of Conduct, FAIS Act & FSP Licensing
- Week 3: Roleplayers, FIC, Complaints
- Week 4: Full revision + mock exams
- Study time: ~1 hour per day, with built-in rest/review days
Reminder:
This plan meets the recommended 25-day, 1-hour-per-day standard. Stick to the structure, and you’ll cover everything you need — the smart way.
| Pros ✅ | Cons ❌ |
| – Meets the 25-hour self-study benchmark for students who attended training recently – Well-paced and manageable – Includes revision and catch-up days – Best for comprehension | – Highly Recommended for students who had classes longer than 6 months ago – Requires steady consistency – Not ideal for last-minute cramming |
5-Week Study Plan
Early Starter Advantage—Best for Self-Study and by far the best study schedule for RE5!
This plan is the ideal RE5 self-study plan for those who haven’t attended training and want to prepare fully on their own. It provides the time to absorb the legislation properly, practice with mock exams, and build long-term understanding, giving you time to cover the RE5 exam structure and topics.
What’s Inside:
- Week 1–2: FAIS Framework & Code of Conduct Focus
- Week 3–4: FSP Licence, Roleplayers, FIC, Complaints
- Week 5: Mock exams, error analysis, legal term review
- Daily study: 30–60 minutes, with flexibility for breaks
Reminder:
This plan gives you enough time to meet the 25-day benchmark, but self-study alone has limitations. Without training, you might still struggle to identify exam-style questions and legal nuances. Adding a workshop or webinar RE5 course to this plan will guarantee a pass rate for RE5 exam.
| Pros ✅ | Cons ❌ |
| – Best for exclusively self-study – Low-pressure pace – Highest retention – Room for breaks and recap | – Needs early planning – High posibility of not understanding content – Lack of identifying exam questions and elements – Still high chance of not being enough without attending preparation classes |
