New UK Mock Exam Papers Available

At a recent meeting of the Examination Standards Committee it was agreed that the current mock exam papers on the RSGB website should be replaced by a fresh set, with one mock exam paper per licence level.

Unlike the previous mock papers which were based on example questions, these new papers are generated from the same, ESRG-vetted, RSGB question bank as real exam papers, using the same question selection process.

You can find the new mock exam papers for all three licence levels on the RSGB website - https://rsgb.org/
