AMIB Promotor de Fondos exam-day guide
AMIB Promotor de Fondos · Prepare for the day ahead.
Your checklist
Government-issued photo ID
Bring the original, valid photo ID you registered with. Confirm with the provider which ID types are accepted and whether a secondary ID is required.
Exam admission/confirmation document
Print or download the confirmation showing date, time and location (or online access link). Confirm with the provider whether a printed copy is mandatory.
Registration and login credentials
For computer-based delivery, verify your username/password and any access code in advance. Confirm with the provider the exact login procedure.
Arrival time and venue logistics
Plan to arrive well before the start time and check transport/route. The exact early-arrival window should be confirmed with the provider.
Permitted items only
Bring only what the provider allows (e.g., ID, confirmation). Confirm with the provider the rules on phones, smartwatches, notes, bags and food/drink.
Writing materials (if allowed)
Some venues supply or prohibit pens/pencils/paper. Confirm with the provider what, if anything, you may bring.
Calculator policy
Confirm with the provider whether a calculator is permitted, what type, and whether an on-screen calculator is provided for computer-based exams.
Language/format accommodations
If you need extra time or other accommodations, ensure approval is already arranged in advance. Confirm with the provider the deadline and process.
Review key regulatory references
Re-read your own summary of the core topics (fund types, applicable regulation, investor suitability and disclosure duties). Base this on the official syllabus, not on memory of specific articles.
Sleep, hydration and a light meal
Prioritize rest and avoid heavy meals before the test to keep concentration steady.
Backup plan for technical failure
For online proctoring, test your equipment and internet beforehand and know the support contact. Confirm with the provider the procedure if the connection drops.
Time-management plan
Decide in advance how you will allocate time across questions and how to flag items to revisit.
Plan the day
Confirm exam logistics: date, time, venue or online link, ID requirements and permitted items with the provider. Resolve any open questions now, not on exam day.
Do a final review of your own condensed notes on the highest-weight topics. Stop learning brand-new material; consolidate instead.
Take one or two timed practice sets to rehearse pacing, then review only the errors.
Prepare and pack ID, confirmation and any permitted items. Lay out clothes and plan the route or set up your testing space and equipment.
Do a light review of summaries and formulas only. Avoid cramming new content late in the day.
Confirm the start time and set two alarms. Get a full night's sleep.
Eat a light meal, hydrate, and arrive early (or log in early for online delivery). Leave buffer time for the unexpected.
Do not study intensely; a brief skim of key points is enough. Keep calm and follow the check-in instructions.
Read the instructions and note the time limit. Answer confident questions first, flag hard ones, and return to them.
Watch the clock: aim to leave time to review flagged items and verify you have answered every question before submitting.
If allowed a break, follow the proctor's instructions exactly and return on time. Confirm with the provider the break policy beforehand.
Rules to check
Carry the exact original photo ID you registered with; the name must match your registration. Confirm with the provider the accepted ID types and the procedure if ID is missing or mismatched.
Bring only permitted items to the testing area; phones, smartwatches, notes and bags are typically restricted. Confirm with the provider the specific prohibited-item list and storage arrangements.
Follow all proctor and invigilator instructions, including seating, silence and any security checks. Non-compliance may lead to invalidation; confirm with the provider the consequences.
Do not communicate with other candidates or attempt to access unauthorized materials during the test. Suspected misconduct is handled under the provider's rules; confirm the exact policy with the provider.
Understand the scoring in advance: confirm with the provider the pass mark, whether wrong answers are penalized, and whether questions are weighted.
Confirm with the provider the rules on breaks, leaving the room, and whether the clock stops during a break.
If a technical problem occurs during an online exam, stay calm and follow the provider's support procedure. Confirm with the provider the escalation contact and what qualifies as a valid interruption.
Results and appeals: confirm with the provider how and when results are released and the process and deadlines for any appeal or score review.
