    BSB’s Indicative Guide to SBA Questions by Topic

    The following information, first supplied by the BSB in 2016-17, is indicative only (in other
    words, the actual exam may not necessarily contain questions that reflect precisely the
    spread suggested by this document). The important points to bear in mind are that the 75
    questions may test knowledge of more than one topic, and that you should not cut any areas
    of the published syllabus from your revision. You should not take ‘0’ to mean that there will
    be no questions on that topic.
