This is a training format: it does not reproduce the official exam format.
Professional practice and ethics (CU3.2), PMLPFTF obligations (CU3.4) and green buildings and leases (CU3.9) are in the bank, and the removed unit on foreign worker housing is not.
Paper 1 (real estate market and law) and Paper 2 (regulation, ethics, marketing and transactions) each have their own topics, 80 questions and a 150-minute timer.
About 29% of the questions are short cases, like Section B; others ask you to work out stamp duty, loan limits or HDB rules step by step.
The Estate Agents Act and its regulations, the Land Titles Act, CEA practice guidelines, or the published rules of HDB, IRAS, MAS and URA: you learn the reference, not just the letter.

No. Every question is written by us from public sources: the RES Examination Syllabus 2027, Singapore legislation, CEA's practice guidelines and the published rules of HDB, IRAS, MAS and URA. No question from an RES examination is reproduced, and no other provider's question bank has been copied.
No, only approximately. According to CEA, each RES paper lasts 2.5 hours and has 60 multiple-choice questions worth 1 mark each (Section A) and 20 case-study questions worth 2 marks each (Section B), and the passing mark is 60 per paper. Our practice papers have 80 questions in 150 minutes and apply a 60% threshold, but every question counts for 1 mark and the questions are drawn from the topic bank, not grouped into Section B case studies. Treat your score as an estimate.
Yes, it is written on the RES Examination Syllabus 2027, which CEA applies to examinations from 1 January 2027, including retakes of a paper failed in 2026. The bank covers the three new units: professional practice and ethics (CU3.2, 31 questions), PMLPFTF obligations (CU3.4, 45 questions) and green buildings and leases (CU3.9, 24 questions). It has no questions on the removed unit on foreign worker housing.
1,600 questions in ten topics: 800 for Paper 1 (market and players, land law and titles, contract and agency, landlord and tenant and property torts, mortgages, succession, co-ownership and planning) and 800 for Paper 2 (regulation, ethics and AML; marketing and advertising; private property sales; HDB and leasing; taxes and financing). About 29% are short case studies.
Yes. CEA requires the Certificate of RES Course Completion from an Approved Course Provider before you can register for the RES examination, and the certificate is valid for two years. This platform is not a course and does not replace it: it is a practice tool for the weeks before the exam.
The questions were written in October 2026 against the rules then published by IRAS, MAS, HDB and URA, and each explanation names its source. These rates and rules change often: always check the current version on the agency's website before relying on a figure.
Yes, at any time from your account, with no notice period and no penalty. The subscription renews every month until you cancel; cancelling stops the next renewal and you keep access until the end of the period already paid for.
No. RES Exam Singapore is an independent private study platform. It is not affiliated with, authorised or endorsed by the Council for Estate Agencies (CEA) or NTUC LearningHub, and it is not a CEA Approved Course Provider. Only CEA registers salespersons in Singapore.
Yes. The platform works the same on a phone, a tablet or a computer: study notes, practice by topic and timed practice papers.
