RE5 practice question with a worked answer. This is one of hundreds of FSCA RE5 questions in the RegulatoryExams question bank.

  1. a) The RE1 onlyCorrect
  2. b) The RE1 and the RE5
  3. c) The RE5 only
  4. d) Neither examination

Why this is the answer

The RE1 is required of key individuals. The RE5 is required of persons who render financial services on Tier 1 products. Because her own advice is limited to Tier 2 products she is exempt from the RE5, but nothing exempts a key individual from the RE1.
