Practice tests and mock exams
Our training sessions commence with a ‘kick-off’ test, testing the participants on their existing capabilities, and finish with a ‘progress’ test assessing their progress on the topics.
Participants are also provided with chapter-by-chapter practice questions and a mock exam that simulates the real CISI examination.
These tools provide valuable feedback and facilitate monitoring to track the participants’ performance throughout the study programme. They are vital in effectively preparing participants for success in their CISI exam.
