Final FRCA SOE Resources
SOE 1 and SOE 2 Example Questions
Typical SOE questions are available in the links below. Further examples can be found in the Final Guide.
Final FRCA SOE Videos
The aim of these videos is to demonstrate:
• how examiners perform an SOE
• the way questions are structured
• the level of knowledge required
• examples of pass and borderline performance.
There is a total of eight films in the series: a short introduction, a commentary from the Chairman of the FRCA Final examination, and six 5-6 minute excerpts from SOE 1 and SOE 2 examinations. These excerpts illustrate different aspects of performance and highlight how an examiner might assess a candidate’s response. They should not be taken as model answers.
When watching the films you may feel that some of the borderline performances are close to a pass standard but there are errors in the candidate's performance. You will note clear differences in the pass examples. Candidates should remember that being in the borderline area is not a guarantee of success and you should aim for the highest standard you can achieve.
