ICAN November 2022 Pathfinder: Past Questions PDF
The ICAN November 2022 Pathfinder is available below for all three levels — Foundation, Skills and Professional. Each pack holds the Institute’s actual examination questions for the diet plus its suggested solutions, free to download as PDF. The November 2022 diet was sat under ICAN’s 2021 professional examination syllabus — the same 15-subject structure (four Foundation, five Skills, six Professional papers) used through the May 2025 diet. For the exact sitting dates and the current schedule, see the ICAN exam timetable.

Each file is ICAN’s official Pathfinder for the diet: the question paper as sat in the hall, followed by the examiners’ suggested answers and marking commentary. Use them to see how marks are actually awarded, not just whether your final answer is right.
Subjects examined in November 2022
The November 2022 diet followed ICAN’s previous 15-subject syllabus. From the November 2025 diet, ICAN renamed several papers and added Financial Management at Skills level, so match each paper below to its current-syllabus name before you rely on older notes. The techniques still transfer, which is why these papers remain solid practice.

- Performance Management
- Audit and Assurance

How to study with the November 2022 Pathfinder
Work each Pathfinder as a timed mock, then mark yourself against ICAN’s suggested solution. Three habits separate a pass from a near-miss:
- Time yourself to the real paper. Sit each question in the minutes the marks allow — roughly 1.8 minutes per mark in a 3¼-hour paper.
- Read the examiner’s comments, not just the answer. The Pathfinder tells you where most candidates lost marks. That is your revision list.
- Cover the last four to six diets per subject. ICAN reuses question styles and topic weightings, so patterns show up fast across diets.
