Good luck to everyone sitting the 2026 PEB Final Diploma examinations this week.
The week starts with FD1 on Monday 19 October, followed by FD4 on Tuesday 20 October, FD3 on Wednesday 21 October and FD2 on Thursday 22 October. The standard sitting for each paper starts at 10:00 UK time.
At this point, practical preparation matters too. Read the PEB instructions again, set out only the permitted items, have your photo identification and a reliable traditional clock ready, and allow enough time for the ProctorExam setup before each paper. Use the same arrangements that worked during the trial examination.
Manage the upload period carefully. The PEB gives candidates ten minutes after the examination ends to upload the completed Word answer document. A late answer will not be sent for marking, and an answer emailed after the deadline will not be accepted.
For FD4 candidates without additional approved adjustments, the timetable gives a 10:00 start, a 15:30 upload start and a 15:40 upload deadline. Make sure you know in advance how you will deal with any annotated claims or diagrams.
You have done the preparation. Take each paper one step at a time, keep an eye on the clock and give yourself the best chance to show what you know. Good luck from Barnes IP Training.
