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

  1. Read the explanations, including questions you guessed.
  2. If you still need FSRE, sit FRE2 next — that is the second half of the same module.
  3. 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.
