Under Chapter 1, which statement accurately describes Full and wholesale banks?
RES 1A covers the Singapore capital-markets framework and the practical rules, ethics and skills expected of securities exchange dealers. The eight chapters move from market structure and licensing through SGX-ST trading and settlement, market conduct, professional ethics, client dealing, CPFIS and prevention of financial crimes.
This course turns the official study scope into eight detailed summaries, 264 active-recall flashcards, a 131-item searchable reference sheet, five timed 80-question mock exams and an AI tutor grounded in the RES 1A material.
The official examination contains 80 multiple-choice questions, lasts 120 minutes and requires 75% to pass. Each course mock follows that structure. IBF does not publish chapter weights, so the mock allocation is a transparent practice design based on the breadth and regulatory density of each chapter rather than a claim about the live examination mix.
