Check your understanding of market mechanics, calculations and decisions in explicitly defined scenarios. The result identifies material to review; it does not assess readiness to deposit capital, a strategy’s edge, psychological resilience or professional qualifications. The separate gap checklist in 16.1 is for collecting evidence of completed work. Do not add its points to this exam’s score.

Rules and scoring
W1–W35 and S1–S10: one correct answer each, 1 point for a correct answer, 0 for an incorrect answer. Unanswered questions are shown separately, rather than being treated as incorrect answers you actually gave. There are no partial points.
The author’s thresholds: at least 28/35 and 8/10. A PASS verdict appears only after all 50 questions have been answered. These thresholds are not a validated standard or a product appropriateness assessment.
K1–K5: a YES/NO answer and a 50–100% probability that it is correct. The Brier score is reported separately, with no pass threshold. Five questions are not enough to assess a person’s calibration.
Answer independently first, then expand the answer key. A calculator is allowed. 60–90 minutes is a suggested allocation of time, not a limit or a scoring criterion. Choose your attempt mode below. Opening any answer key marks the current attempt as practice and invalidates the previously calculated result; simply closing the key does not undo that designation.
After changing an answer, you must recalculate the result. The code is only an editable record, not a certificate or identity verification.
A calculator is allowed in both modes. Declare any use of materials outside this page yourself. The mode is saved with the result; it does not verify identity or exam conditions. “Clear answers” starts a new attempt, but does not erase your knowledge of the previous answer key.

Forex knowledge exam — version 2.1. Date: __________________. Mode: __________________. Scores W: ____/35, S: ____/10, K: ____/5; Brier: ________. Pass: all 50 answers completed and W ≥ 28 and S ≥ 8. The preparation checklist is separate.
Separate preparation checklist — no points
This checklist organises further work. It does not prevent you from taking or passing the knowledge exam and does not confirm that trading is safe. An unchecked item remains a task to consider, not a diagnosis.
Three-tier trader preparation and evaluation framework: knowledge, practical scenarios and probability calibration
Part I: knowledge — 35 questions
Part II: scenarios — 10 questions
All situations are synthetic. You assess compliance with the stated rules, not predict the market outcome.
Part III: accuracy and confidence — 5 questions
Choose an answer and the probability that it is correct. In the binary convention used here, Brier = the mean of (p − y)², where p is your stated confidence in the chosen answer (0.5–1), and y = 1 for a correct answer and 0 for an incorrect one. The measure ranges from 0 to 1; a lower score is better. We do not separately sum the errors for both categories.
At 100% confidence, an incorrect answer contributes 1 and a correct answer 0; at 50%, both contribute 0.25. Two incorrect answers at 100% and three correct answers at 100% give 0.40. Brier describes the quality of the stated probabilities in this sample, not calibration alone in isolation. An incomplete result is explicitly provisional and is not suitable for comparison with complete attempts.

How to interpret the result and plan a review
Exam result interpretation and revision protocol matrix
INCOMPLETE: fill in the missing answers shown. The figures are provisional.
REVIEW NEEDED: the sheet is complete, but at least one W/S threshold has not been met. Return to the indicated questions and lessons.
PASS: the author’s knowledge criteria for this set have been met, without any recommendation to open or increase a position.
The preparation checklist and Brier remain separate pieces of information. Do not turn five answers into a label of “overconfident trader”. After reviewing the errors, work through Z1–Z4 and new variants in 16.1. Repeating the same answer key also measures memory. The .ics file suggests a review in 14 days; adjust the date to your work, as it is not a condition for passing. Your next attempt’s score does not have to improve.
FAQ
What is saved in the browser?
The exam script saves answers locally in localStorage and does not send them to a server. The saved data also includes the attempt mode and whether the answer key has been opened. This is not an assurance about all analytics on the website. People with access to this browser profile may see the answers; clearing browser data may delete them. If storage is blocked, the quiz works until the page is closed.
Why can I not see my answers from version 1.0?
Version 2.0 changed the content and the meaning of the result compared with 1.0, so 1.x data remains separate. Version 2.1 retains the questions, answer key and thresholds from 2.0: it restores those answers, marking the earlier mode as unspecified. Incompatible or corrupted data is not overwritten automatically; a message explains why the current answers are not being saved. After confirmation, “Clear answers” removes the current 2.x record, not data belonging to other tools or version 1.x.
Does a decoded record confirm someone’s skills?
No. The code contains a self-declared record that can be edited. There is no signature, identity verification or external validation of the result. The page records the opening of its own answer key, but does not monitor materials from other sources. Reading the code shows a summary; it does not restore answers in the form.

Read the separate scores before interpreting a verdict
A hypothetical scoring example with three additional exercises. These exercises are separate from the exam and do not enter its score.
Keep the exam rules beside the example
The exam above uses separate knowledge and scenario thresholds. In its current rules, W requires at least 28 correct answers out of 35 and S at least 8 out of 10. All 50 questions, including the five K questions, must be answered before a PASS verdict. K accuracy and confidence are reported separately, with no Brier pass threshold.
These are the exam author’s teaching thresholds, not a validated readiness standard. The additional exercises here are outside that attempt and supply no answers to its individual questions.
A strong combined percentage can still miss one condition
In a hypothetical completed attempt, all questions are answered. W has 30 correct answers and S has 7. W passes its own threshold; S misses its threshold by one. Combining W and S gives 37 correct out of 45, approximately 82.22%. That descriptive aggregate does not replace the separate required conditions.
The five K responses are complete, but we have not supplied their correctness or confidence probabilities. Do not invent a Brier value or add K as extra points that rescue S.
Completion and recalculation are additional states
In another attempt, W has 30 correct and S has 8. Every W and S question is answered, but only four K questions have responses. That is 49 answered out of 50. The two accuracy thresholds are met, yet the stated completion condition is not.
A later answer changes the evidence; it does not silently update an earlier calculated result. Use the exam’s scoring control to recalculate. Opening an actual exam answer key marks the attempt as practice under its rules; closing it does not restore independent status.
Translate the result into work to review
Record the mode, completion state, W and S separately, K information and result version. A passing teaching score cannot establish a profitable strategy, authority to provide services or suitability to deposit money. Use missed topics to choose a course review task.
The three additional solutions below explain this worked example. They do not reveal individual exam answers or add scored questions. Preserve your actual attempt’s declared use of reference material.
Three exercises with explanations
1. What follows for the completed first attempt?
W 30/35; S 7/10; all 50 answered. Required W 28/35 and S 8/10.
A. PASS because the aggregate exceeds 80%.
B. W meets its threshold; S does not, so the required conditions are not all met.
C. K automatically supplies a missing S point.
D. No W question was answered.
Show the answer and explanation
B. 30≥28, but 7<8. Keep the two denominators visible.
A. The aggregate is descriptive, not the exam’s replacement rule.
B. Both separate conditions must hold; the scenario score is below its required count.
C. K does not add points to S.
D. The supplied W result contradicts that statement.
2. What is the descriptive W-plus-S percentage?
The first attempt has 30+7 correct out of 35+10 questions.
A. 37%
B. 80%
C. Approximately 82.22%.
D. 100%.
Show the answer and explanation
C. 37/45×100≈82.22%; this number does not override the separate thresholds.
A. That treats a count as a percentage.
B. That is not this supplied ratio.
C. The aggregate is 37/45, rounded to two decimals.
D. Not all answers are correct.
3. Can the second attempt meet the full PASS conditions yet?
All W/S questions answered; W 30, S 8; only 4 of 5 K responses, hence 49 of 50 total.
A. Yes; K can always be omitted.
B. Yes; a strong score completes missing answers.
C. Yes; there is no completion rule.
D. No; one required response remains missing.
Show the answer and explanation
D. Complete the missing response and recalculate; do not relabel the earlier incomplete result.
A. K is separate from pass accuracy thresholds but still part of completion.
B. Correctness does not fill an unanswered question.
C. The stated rules explicitly include completion.
D. The native rules additionally require all questions answered.
