Candidates who have passed either Paper 1 or Paper 2 need to retake only their failed Paper from August 2011 RES examination onwards. Upon passing the remaining Paper, the candidate will be considered as having passed the RES examination and will be subsequently issued an RES Certificate. The candidate must submit the salesperson registration application through and with the support of a licensed estate agent within 2 years of the date of issue of the final results. Otherwise, the results will not be valid for registration purpose.
Candidates who failed both Papers will need to retake the RES exam as a fresh candidate; i.e. need to take Paper 1 and 2 in a single sitting in their next attempt. Modular passing will apply only if the candidate has passed one Paper. There shall be no retrospective consideration of results from earlier RES examinations taken from Jan to Jun 2011.
Important Note
There is no change to the examination requirement for RES course participants to pass the RES examination within 2 years from the date of issuance of the Certificate of Completion of RES Course. If they are unable to pass the remaining Paper within the 2-year timeframe, they will have to re-take the RES course and take the full RES examination i.e. both Papers 1 and 2.

10. No Guaranteed Seats / No Extension of Validity Period / Time period to Pass RES Exam
Due to the high demand for RES examination seats, RES Course participants who have completed the RES course may not get a seat at the RES examination.
CEA will not extend the validity of your RES Course completion certificates. The 2-year period to pass the RES examination is put in place to ensure that candidates possess currency of knowledge to prepare for the examination.
All RES course participants are required to pass the RES examination within 2 years from the date of issuance of the RES course completion certificate. Candidates with a partial pass in the RES examination are required to pass the remaining paper(s) within the 2-year timeframe. Should they fail to do so, the partial pass in the RES examination will not be valid and candidates will have to re-take the RES course before attempting the full RES examination again.
CEA will only extend the RES course certificate validity period by one year for course participants who have completed the RES course on any date from 22 February 2018 to 30 April 2021 (both dates inclusive).
11. Upon Passing RES Exam and Validity of RES Exam Result

This is the final date by which the candidate's registration application must be submitted by a licensed estate agent to CEA Licensing Division.
