As you may be aware, there is a new ISED Basic Qualification question bank to be used starting on 15 July, 2025. Many of you have asked whether to buy a Study Guide now or to wait for a new edition of our book.
We have already updated the questions on our Student Success Pages to the new questions and they have been online since mid-April. We have also checked the cross reference information for if you give a wrong answer and all questions have correct references so far as we know. If you find an error please contact us with the ISED question number and we will correct it.
There were a number of cases where, while the necesary information is in the current Basic Study Guide but we could have been clearer in describing the topic and these are listed on the errata page by chapter. Please check the errata if you feel that something may be missing.
There were 3 questions where we did not have adequate information to reasonably assume that a student could answer it. We have written new sections and content to cover these. .pdf versions of the revised pages can be found in the errata by clicking the link given in the relevant chapter.
While all of these changes will be in the next printing, preparing a new book is both time consuming and costly and requires very careful fact checking. We don't expect to have a new version until late this year or perhaps in 2026. Since you will encounter the new questions on the Student Success Pages, if you find a question that you feel is incomplete or missing from the book, please contact us at the address on our home page.
