Updates to the Real Estate Salesperson Examination Format

In Jan 2023, the Council of Estate Agencies (CEA) changed the RES Exam format. With effect from 2023, the format of both Paper 1 and Paper 2 is as follows:

Section A 60 MCQs (60 marks) Section B 20 MCQs with reference to 1 or 2 Case Studies (40 marks)

Duration : 2 ½ hours per paper

Notably, there is no change to the examination requirements for RES course participants to pass the RES examination, comprising two papers, within 2 years from the date of issuance of the RES course completion certificate.

For candidates with a modular pass in one paper of the RES examination, they are required to pass the remaining paper within the 2-year timeframe. Should they fail to do so, the modular pass in one paper will not be valid and candidates will have to re-take the RES course before attempting the RES examination (i.e. both Paper 1 and Paper 2) again.

For comparison, the previous format of both Paper 1 and Paper 2 is as follows:

Section A 50 MCQs (50 marks) Section B 15 MCQs with reference to 1 or 2 Case Studies (30 marks) Section C 10 Fill-in-the-blank Short Answer Questions (20 marks)

Duration 2 ½ hours per paper
