Free DipFA mock exam: sit FRE1 Paper 1 in full
Updated 23 September 2026
Search for a free DipFA mock exam and you will mostly find course brochures, a ten-question sampler, or a PDF that is not a timed paper. That is why the query looks empty. A real mock is 40 marks in 60 minutes at 70%, not a quiz bolted onto a sales page.
FRE1 Paper 1 is free in full on this site. No account. It is the first FSRE paper — DipFA Module 1, Unit 1 — in the live format, with an explanation on every question.
What “free” actually means here
- The whole FRE1 Paper 1, not a five-question taster of it.
- Timed if you want it timed: 60 minutes, 40 marks, 28/40 to pass.
- Every other paper on the site still opens a free five-question preview.
- The AFA modules (tax, investment, protection, retirement) are not a free full-paper bank. Unlocking those is £9.99 a module or £29.99 once.
Why the free paper is FRE1, not a random DipFA quiz
DipFA Module 1 is FSRE, sat as FRE1 then FRE2. FRE1 is the natural first sitting and the honest free paper: if the style is wrong you have lost nothing. If you already hold CeMAP 1 you skip FSRE and this paper is revision, not a new exam.
What to do after the free paper
- Read the explanations, including questions you guessed.
- If you still need FSRE, sit FRE2 next — that is the second half of the same module.
- If you have already passed FSRE, use the free paper only to judge whether the AFA mocks are written at the right level, then sit those timed at 45 minutes.
