CMFASPrep takes you the whole way — study, pass your CMFAS exam, and start advising.
A focused loop that turns weak spots into confidence before exam day.
Step 1
Work through MCQs organised by the RES5 syllabus topics across Part I and Part II. Answer one at a time and learn as you go.
Step 2
Instant grading with a worked explanation for every question — understand the why, not just the what.
Step 3
Simulate the real thing under exam conditions, then track your readiness until you're consistently passing.
Reading the concepts gets you halfway — it's the drilling and realistic timed mocks that turn what you've read into marks on the day. CMFASPrep is where your studying becomes exam-ready: practise by topic, find your weak spots, and sit full timed mock exams across Part I Rules and Part II Ethics until you walk in ready to pass.
Every question maps to the Part I Rules and Part II Ethics topics.
Understand the reasoning behind each answer, not just the key.
Full timed mock exams that mirror the RES5 multiple-choice style.
Most people prepare in a focused burst before exam day. CMFASPrep keeps you moving — short topic sets you can finish on a commute, instant explanations that make concepts stick, and timed mocks that tell you when you're genuinely ready.
No bare right/wrong. Each item is real exam style with a worked explanation, so the concept actually sticks. Tap an answer on the right and see exactly how practice feels — no signup needed.
A representative recommends an investment product to a retail client. Consider: (i) The representative must have a reasonable basis for the recommendation, taking into account the client's circumstances. (ii) Know-Your-Client information must be gathered before making the recommendation. (iii) A record of the basis for the recommendation should be documented. (iv) If the client insists on an unsuitable product, no documentation is needed once the client signs a waiver. Which statements are CORRECT?
Both parts of RES5 — from the Financial Advisers Act and MAS notices to conduct of business, product classification and ethics.

RES5 — "Rules, Ethics & Skills for Financial Advisory Services" — is a module under the Capital Markets and Financial Advisory Services (CMFAS) examinations regulated by the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) and administered by the Singapore College of Insurance (SCI). Passing it is a licensing requirement for individuals providing financial advisory services. It is organised into Part I · Rules & Regulations and Part II · Ethics & Skills.
SCI publishes RES5 as 150 multiple-choice questions over 3 hours: 110 in Part I · Rules & Regulations and 40 in Part II · Ethics & Skills. The pass mark is two separate hurdles — at least 75% on Part I and at least 80% on Part II — and you must clear both, so a strong Part I cannot rescue a weak Part II. Figures are set by SCI and can change; confirm the current format on the official SCI RES5 page before you register.
RES5 is demanding mainly because of its breadth — the Financial Advisers Act, MAS notices and guidelines, conduct-of-business rules, product classifications and ethics all sit within scope, and questions often turn on a fine distinction. Study time varies by background; consistent timed practice and full mock exams are typically the most reliable way to get exam-ready.
No — and that's by design. SCI does not release past papers. Every question here is original study material written to match the public RES5 syllabus in topic, style and difficulty, so it's both effective and fully legitimate to use. This is unofficial prep and is not endorsed by MAS or SCI.
Yes. The question bank spans the RES5 syllabus across both parts, from the Financial Advisers Act, regulations and MAS notices in Part I · Rules & Regulations through to Part II · Ethics & Skills.
A full free account with access to free questions across every topic, instant grading and worked explanations, and progress tracking — enough to see exactly how it helps before you pay.
The complete question bank including harder, exam-weighted items, full timed mock-exam mode, and readiness analytics to tell you when you're ready to sit the real thing.
