RIBO Level 1 Entry Level Broker exam preparation

Prepare for exam day with a clear plan.

No credit card. Start with five questions. Free accounts get 1 short session a day, up to 3 a week.

This exam catches people off guard.

Basic definition quizzes are too easy.
Candidate describing the 2026 exam — anecdotal

The pass mark is high, the pass rate is low, and an attempt costs $325. Easy practice can create false confidence. Onyx uses scenario-based questions and plausible answer choices so you can practise the careful reading the exam demands.

Understand the answer before you move on.

Each practice answer includes an explanation. When a public source applies, you can read the exact supporting passage; when it does not, Onyx does not invent one.

See why the answer is right

Review the explanation while the question is still fresh, not at the end of a long answer key.

Check the source when there is one

For legislation, By-Laws, regulations, and auto policy questions, see the exact clause and passage used. Some exam topics have no public statutory source, and Onyx says so instead of making one up.

Say when something looks off

Report a problem from the question itself. You should not have to hunt for a support page to challenge an answer.

Know what to expect on exam day.

The Exam Prep Guide covers the supplied reference, Ctrl+F, proctoring, retakes, and the way candidates describe the questions. Official rules and anecdotal reports are labelled separately.

Search did not always work, and the long PDF was slow to navigate.

RIBO says Ctrl+F is available, but candidates report that it can depend on the provider and lockdown browser. Prepare to navigate without it.
