Forex Trading Certification Test

The Forex Trading Certification Test is a free beginner-level, 15-minute skill test from Science of Apps. It tests foundational forex trading knowledge — how the currency market works, pips, lots, leverage and margin, and analysis and risk management — drawn from BIS market data and regulator guidance (CFTC, ESMA) on retail FX and CFD trading for 2026. Educational only; not investment advice. Score 70% or more on its 15 questions to earn a verifiable Forex Trading Fundamentals certificate (SOA-FORE). Every question is based on published standards and research — including Investopedia financial dictionary (Investopedia), Triennial Central Bank Survey of foreign exchange markets (Bank for International Settlements), Product intervention measures on CFDs (leverage limits and risk warnings) (European Securities and Markets Authority) — and each answer is explained with its source.
