SCI RES5 Exam Schedule: How Sittings & Booking Work

CMFAS RES5 is a MAS-regulated module exam administered by the Singapore College of Insurance (SCI). Rather than a fixed public timetable, candidates book a sitting through the official booking system, choosing from the dates and sessions available. Seats can be limited, so book early. We don't publish specific dates here — the live schedule on SCI is the source of truth.

RES5 is run by the Singapore College of Insurance (SCI). Register and pay online at scicollege.org.sg (Register for Exams); individual online registration is paid by Visa or Mastercard. There is no limit on attempts. RES5 sittings run daily on weekdays; there is no fixed national exam date.

1. Confirm your eligibility and any pre-requisites for the RES5 module with your firm and the examination body.
2. Register and book a sitting on the official SCI booking portal, selecting an available date.
3. Pay the exam fee as published at the time of booking.
4. Sit the exam on your booked date, then await your result.

As at 11 Nov 2026, SCI charges S$218.00 per RES5 attempt including GST (non-member rate for a weekday 9am to 5pm session; after-5pm and weekend sessions cost more), or S$185.30 if your company is an SCI or IBF member and registers you. Every re-sit costs the full fee again. Confirm the current fee on the official SCI site before you register.

Rescheduling: Changing your date 7 or more working days ahead is free the first time, then S$32.70 per change; with less than 7 working days' notice it costs S$32.70; within 2 working days no change is allowed. No cancellations or refunds.
