Found Your RE5 Exam Venue? Read This Before You Book!
Most candidates don’t fail because the venue was wrong. They fail because they booked before they were properly prepared.
One of the most common mistakes candidates make is booking their RE5 exam before they are ready. This often results in a failed attempt, lost exam fees, and unnecessary delays in starting or continuing a FAIS career.
You should only book your RE5 exam if all of the following are true:
- You are using 2026-aligned RE5 study material
- The RE5 exam cost is R1300, payable when you book
- You understand FAIS concepts, not just memorised definitions
- You can identify what a question is actually testing
- You consistently score 80% or higher in mock exams
- You have reviewed your readiness before booking
If you are unsure about any of the above, the safest next step is to prepare properly before booking.
Don't Just Study. Learn to Outsmart the RE 5 Exam
Most people fail RE1 or RE5, not because they didn’t study, but because they didn’t know how to answer the questions.

You’ve studied… but in the exam the questions feel different, the options all look “right”, and suddenly your brain forgets how to read. This masterclass is built for the exact moment where most people get stuck: how to answer.
- ✓How to break down tricky question styles (NOT / MOST / LEAST, sequencing, multi-step questions)
- ✓A practical elimination method so you stop guessing and start choosing confidently

- ✓Live walk-through examples + Q&A (bring your “I always get these wrong” questions)
Important Things to Know Before Choosing a Venue
Moonstone is the only regulatory examination body authorised by the FSCA to conduct the RE1 and Moonstone RE5 exams. Presently (2026), you cannot write your RE5 exam online, and you will have to write your RE5 exam in person at the Moonstone RE exam venue in your area/province across South Africa. Visit Moonstone’s website for RE exam dates and, more importantly, seat availability to write the RE5 exams.
Before looking at the 2026 RE5 exam venues and selecting your RE5 exam venue, keep the following in mind:
- The RE5 exam is written in person at approved Moonstone venues across South Africa
- Seats are limited and can fill up quickly. The booking system is live
- RE5 exam bookings close 11 days before the actual date
- Booking your exam too early often leads to failing the RE5 exam
- The exam fee of R1300 is payable directly to Moonstone
- You should only book once you are properly prepared to write the RE5 exam.
Choosing a nearby venue is important, but preparation for your RE5 exam matters more than where you are going to write the FAIS regulatory examination.
Finding a nearby RE5 exam venue is only the first step. The more important question is whether you are ready to write.
Before booking, ask yourself:
- Am I using updated 2026 RE5 study material?
- Have I studied Chapter 12, 8, 4 and 10 properly?
- Can I explain the concepts, not just recognise answers?
- Am I scoring consistently in mock exams?
- Do I understand how RE5 questions are worded?
- Have I checked my readiness before paying Moonstone?
If you are unsure, do a readiness check first. It is cheaper to pause before booking than to fail and pay again.
