**Kaplan Professional has developed the Kaplan Adviser Practice Exam (KAPE) to simulate the structure, duration and exam conditions which may be encountered in FASEA’s National Adviser Exam. The KAPE questions, content and resource materials have been prepared to help support your preparation. These are aligned to the Financial Adviser Examination guidelines released by FASEA. However, they may vary somewhat from the examinable areas, questions, materials and assessment of your performance in FASEA’s National Adviser Examination. Kaplan Professional does not guarantee an individual will pass FASEA’s Financial Adviser Examination as a result of completing or attempting KAPE and using our exam preparation resources.
