Official examinations require an Academy account, enrollment in this level and, for Levels II and III, a pass in the previous level's examination. The practice assessment is separate from your official record.

Examination structure

  • 40 multiple-choice questions covering this level’s core concepts.
  • A minimum of 30 correct answers (75%) is required to pass.
  • 90-minute standard timing, 180-minute extended timing or an untimed accessibility option, selected before starting.
  • Your first answer is recorded before immediate correct/incorrect feedback and an explanation. Answers are graded automatically.
  • Interview preparation and formative practice results do not record an official pass.

Attempts and retakes

3 standard retakes are permitted after the initial attempt.

Students needing a fourth retake may request Quant Atlas guidance before an additional attempt is authorized. Attempt limits and authorization are checked against your account record before another official attempt can start.
