RES exam papers in PDF
Full-length RES practice papers as downloadable PDF files — a free 20-question sample, and ten complete 80-question papers across Paper 1 and Paper 2.
Why a PDF rather than an online quiz
The examination is sat on paper, against a clock, with nothing to click. A PDF lets you rehearse it the same way: print it, sit it in one sitting under the real time limit, mark it against the key, and write on it. There is no login, nothing expires, and it works with no connection. Most RES practice sites are web apps; this is the format the exam actually uses.
What each paper contains
- 80 questions, 100 marks — Section A, 60 multiple-choice questions at one mark each; Section B, 20 case-study questions at two marks each. The format of the real paper.
- A worked explanation for every option — the rule being tested, why the keyed answer is right, and why each of the three wrong options is wrong. Not an answer key.
- Rules as at February 2026 — every dated figure is checked against the current IRAS, CEA, HDB, URA and SLA position and pinned on a one-page rates appendix.
- Scenario questions — named parties and realistic Singapore facts. The rule is never named in the stem; you find it from the facts, as in the examination.
Start with the free sample
A 20-question half-paper from the Paper 1 bank — 16 Section A questions and a four-question Section B case study — with the same depth of explanation as the full sets. You can read the whole thing on this site, or have the PDF emailed to you: send me the free PDF.
The full sets
Single papers from $9; five-paper bundles for Paper 1 or Paper 2; the complete ten-paper set; and a Section B case-study pack for the part of the exam where most marks are lost. Every purchase is an instant download, watermarked to you. See the papers and prices.
These are practice papers, not past papers
CEA does not release its examination papers, so there is no such thing as a genuine past-year RES paper in PDF or any other form. What exists — and what these are — is practice material written to the syllabus and the current rules. If you were searching for past papers, read what CEA actually publishes before buying anything described that way.
