Many unsuccessful candidates knew the regulations but had not practised the format. Three minutes per question, real pressure and an unfamiliar interface determine whether knowledge becomes performance.
How marking works
Each question is worth 5% of the final score. A question may have one or more correct answers, and your answer must be entirely correct to earn the mark. Partial answers score zero.
With a 75% pass mark, you can miss five questions, not six. Use that arithmetic to guide your exam strategy.
Focus on managing the five questions you can afford to miss.
A practice routine
- Always use a timer. An untimed quiz cannot measure exam readiness.
- Practise with your documents open. The exam is open book: use the same PDFs and full-text searches while practising.
- Record the time spent on each question. Spending more than three minutes can take time away from another question.
- Analyse mistakes, not just the score. Misreading a question and lacking knowledge require different remedies.
The mandatory mock exam
FIFA requires candidates to complete a mock exam on its platform. It checks device compatibility and familiarises you with remote proctoring. Take it seriously and complete it early to avoid last-minute technical problems.
Three habits to develop
- Read the question twice before reading the options. Wording often contains the trap.
- Identify the relevant regulations first, then the article.
- Do not leave a question unanswered: a blank scores the same as an incorrect answer.
