Yes — the CISI General Saudi Capital Market Rules & Regulations exam is approved by the Capital Markets Authority (CMA) and is a requirement for professionals working in regulated roles in Saudi Arabia's financial sector.
GSCMR covers the Saudi CMA regulatory framework including authorised persons requirements, securities offerings, listing rules, market conduct, corporate governance, collective investment schemes, mergers and acquisitions, and enforcement procedures.
All content is created from the official CISI workbooks and compiled with input from financial professionals working in Saudi Arabia who have passed the GSCMR exam. Their regulatory knowledge and exam feedback are combined into our interactive study system.
No previous qualifications are required. However, GSCMR is typically taken by professionals already working in or entering Saudi Arabia's financial sector, so some familiarity with financial services is helpful.

Exactly what I needed for CME-1
I was looking for something to help me prepare for the Saudi capital market exam and this is exactly it. The questions are well written and the explanations actually make sense. I use it on my phone during lunch breaks and it works perfectly
Flashcards are underrated
The flashcards helped me memorize the CMA penalty thresholds and reporting timelines. There are so many small details in the Saudi regulations that are easy to mix up especially the different fines and deadlines for disclosures. Going through the flashcards on my commute made a huge difference and I felt much more confident during the actual exam because of the repetition
Better than reading the book alone
I tried studying from the workbook only and it was really hard to stay focused. This platform breaks everything into small pieces and the mock exams show you where you stand. The AI analyzer after each exam is a nice touch too. Would recommend to anyone doing GSCMR
Good question bank
Solid question bank that covers all the tricky parts of the syllabus. The official workbook can be very dry and difficult to get through. Practicing with these mock exams helped me understand how the questions are actually framed in the real test. The explanations after each question are clear and tell you exactly why the other options are wrong which is very helpful for learning
Finally a readable guide!!
Finally!! Capital adequacy and licensing rules are actually readable now. Massive relief for my revision. Passed today!
Mutual fund / reit rules
The mutual fund and reit rules summaries have literally everything you need. Saved me so much time trying to parse the law.
