European qualifying examination 2023 completed
23 March 2023    

This year's European qualifying examination (EQE) ran from 6 to 13 March [note from the blog editor: actually, from 7 to 17 March 2023]. In total, 2 148 candidates of 58 nationalities participated and almost 40% of candidates were women. All in all, the four papers that each candidate can sit, plus the pre-exam paper, last a combined total of 24 hours and are simultaneously available in German, English and French.   

Good luck to all EQE 2023 candidates - main exam and Pre-Exam!

 


We wish all candidates that will sit one or more EQE papers this and/or next week good luck / bonne chance / gute Fahrt!

Our EQE blogs will be open for your comments and opinions w.r.t. the ABand D main exam and the Pre-Exam paper immediately after the respective exam. We will post our (provisional) answers to the various papers in separate blog posts shortly after we have received copies of the exam papers. To facilitate the discussions, we will also post copies of the papers as soon as possible after we received reasonably clean copies. 

Do not post any comments as to the merits of the answers of a certain exam paper/flow on the blogs while an exam/flow is still ongoing. Also, do not post the invigilator password or anything else that may be considered a breach of the exam regulations, instructions to the candidates, code of conducts, etc (see, e.g.,  EQE homepageEQE notices, EQE online website, MyEQE, and the emails from the EQE secretariat).
