I was injured severely and had to be operated in the brain , as I am gradually recovering and out of work I want to know what is the definite last date to write my exam for RE 5. I used to work for Nedbank wealth, I did write RE 1 some years back but I am not sure about what is going on now.

The FSB seem to have mastered the knack of making a purse from a sow's ear. What their statistics actually say is that as at 11 April only 48.6% of KIs have written and passed and a mere 38% of the Reps are over the finishing line. But there again, if the Department of Education were in control then these percentages would qualify for a doctorate in nuclear physics.
