Authoritative CSC Exam 2 resources from CSI: course page, curriculum, exam credits, and the current CSC route-status note.
Use these links as your source of truth for CSC Exam 2. The same CSI course pages support the full CSC program, so the key is using the curriculum for the broad map and the exam-credits page for the Exam 2-specific structure.
CSI does not publish separate csc1 and csc2 course URLs. Both exams sit under the same shared CSC course, curriculum, and exam-credits pages, so the right move is to use the shared official source layer and then isolate the Exam 2 weighting and chapter slice inside it.
| Source | Use it for |
|---|---|
| CSC course page | Official course overview and CSI administrative reference for the complete CSC program. |
| CSC curriculum | Full chapter outline so you can see how Exam 2 fits into the broader course sequence. |
| CSC exam credits | Official Exam 2 weighting and structure, alongside the Exam 1 breakdown. |
| Source | What to confirm |
|---|---|
| CSC course page | the current January 1, 2026 route note and whether CSC is still the right path for your role |
| CSC curriculum | where the Exam 2-tested chapters sit inside the full CSC map |
| CSC exam credits | current Exam 2 structure, weightings, pass mark, and attempt limit |
As of April 17, 2026, CSI says that effective January 1, 2026 CSC is no longer acceptable for the purposes of CIRO approval with an Investment Dealer. If your reason for taking CSC is tied to registration or approval, treat the current CSC course page and the CIRO proficiency site as the controlling sources.
| Step | Why it works |
|---|---|
| start with the course page | it tells you whether CSC still fits your route use case now |
| move to the exam-credits page | it tells you how the 100-question Exam 2 is weighted |
| use the curriculum page last | it gives the chapter order once the route and weighting are clear |
| then move into exact web practice | that is the right stage to train speed on the live structure |
| If you mainly need… | Better first instinct |
|---|---|
| the second allocation-and-client-application half of the CSC route | CSC Exam 2 |
| the first marketplace-and-products half | CSC Exam 1 |
| a broader wealth route after securities foundations | WME Exam 2 |
| a narrower mutual-fund-only route | IFC |
CSC course pages instead. CSI uses one course shell for both exams.
