BCS Foundation Certificate in Commerical Awareness Exam FAQ: What Candidates Ask Most

What is the BCS CA exam?

The CA exam is the official BCS (British Computer Society, The Chartered Institute for IT) exam behind the BCS Foundation Certificate in Commercial Awareness (CA) certification, validating the skills measured by the BCS Foundation Certificate in Commerical Awareness credential. It sits at the Foundation level of the BCS (British Computer Society, The Chartered Institute for IT) certification program. It also connects to BCS International Diploma in Business Analysis, BCS Foundation Certificate in Business Analysis, BCS Foundation Certificate in Organisational Behaviour, so the knowledge you build here carries over to those tracks as well.

How many questions are on the CA exam, and how much time do I get?

The CA exam contains 40 questions to be completed within 60 minutes. Before exam day, divide the available time by the question count to work out a comfortable per-question pace, and mark any item that eats into it so you can return later instead of getting stuck. Timed sessions in the Getcertkey test engines make that pacing automatic — run at least two full-length mock exams under the clock so time pressure never becomes the reason you drop points.

The passing score for the CA exam is 65% (26/40), and the official registration fee is £200 (UK, includes remote proctoring fee; international pricing varies). Retakes are not discounted — every new attempt means paying the full fee again — so it pays to measure yourself before you book. Work through the 0 practice questions on Getcertkey, sit a timed practice test, and schedule your exam only when your scores are consistently comfortable. That simple habit is the cheapest exam strategy there is.
