ARM EXAM FORMAT

All of the 85 objective/multiple choice questions include four alternative answers from which students must select the one correct or best response.

The time for a pre-exam tutorial, as well as a brief survey at the end of the exam, is in addition to the two hours allocated for the exam itself.

REGISTERING FOR AND SCHEDULING YOUR ARM EXAMINATION

ARM exams need not be taken in sequence from ARM54 to ARM56 though this is encouraged. Students can take any of the ARM exams within an exam window. More than one exam can also be taken within the same window.

Upcoming exam windows: 15 April-15 June 2008; 15 July-15 August 2008; 15 October-15 December 2008; 15 January-15 March 2009.

Available exam slots: 10.00am-noon and 2.00-4.00pm on selected days open by the Institute.
