Every fact has a source
Every fee and date is in one table at the front, with the SRA page it came from. Fees, dates and rules change. If the SRA website says something different from this pack, the SRA website is right.
Make it about you
Give the pack to your preferred AI chatbot and ask it about your own situation. For example: “I am resitting FLK2 in July 2027. Which dates and deadlines apply to me?”

- November 2026 edition, updated 8 November 2026Added nine visual pages: the dates as a timeline, the exam day drawn to scale, the January 2027 format numbers, pass rates as dots, the fees, the cancellation charges, the score scale, and the candidate themes as tiles. No fact or date changed, so a copy from 6 November is still correct.
