Step 1.
Send us an e-mail to reserve a spot on our list of candidates for the year. You will be assigned a mentor and be given their contact information - this will be your primary contact person for general questions throughout the process. If you also require one-on-one coaching, please mention this in your email so we can assign you to a mentor who is available to provide this service.

Step 2.
Once you've heard back from us, you can start submitting your attempts at the SOA or UFE simulations that you would like marked. We will provide more information on the format and address to send your simulations when you first contact us.

Step 3.
We will mark the paper, and return it to you via e-mail within three business days with detailed comments in both Word and Excel, along with our estimate of where you would have scored on the evaluation guides.

Step 4.
You will be invoiced monthly - no up-front deposit is required unless you choose our “special savings” package.

exaMENTOR’s owners and our team of experienced markers are all involved in marking your papers. In order to provide you with the best quality and quickest turnaround, each marker is assigned as a “simulation expert.” This means the same marker will be responsible for a simulation throughout the season – allowing them to become familiar with common weaknesses and to provide you with consistent and knowledgeable feedback. Over the course of the season, depending on how many papers you submit, it is likely each one of us will mark at least one of your papers. All of our markers have experience marking either the UFE or with one of the provincial programs.

No, there is no maximum or minimum number of papers that you can get marked unless you choose one of our early bird packages. You do not need to commit to a specific number of papers either. Some candidates like to have one paper marked per week (or month), some prefer to have them all marked - it all depends on what you feel you need.

Please see our "candidates & firms" page for our fee schedule for candidates. Firms, please contact us directly for a fee quote.

We currently accept payment via cheque, Interac e-Transfer (not card payment), or money order. Credit cards accepted only via PayPal and subject to a 3% surcharge. Please wait to receive our invoice before submitting payment.

Our individual services for candidates are intended to be supplementary to prep courses and provincial exam qualification programs. Private prep programs will help you prepare to write the UFE -- the vast majority of UFE candidates will have attended a prep course and we strongly recommend that all candidates attend one (please see "resources" page for links to available courses). Having your practice exams professionally marked will help you get the specific feedback on exam-writing technique that some candidates feel is necessary over and above a prep course, and can also be very helpful for repeat writers who need assistance in pinpointing the specific weaknesses they need to work on.
