RES 2A covers the rules, ethics and practical skills expected of derivatives exchange dealers in Singapore. The seven chapters move from market structure and licensing through SGX-DT, IFSG and APEX conduct and trading infrastructure, professional ethics, derivatives-dealing practice and prevention of financial crimes.
The course turns the current examinable source into seven detailed summaries, 346 active-recall flashcards, a 170-item searchable reference sheet, five timed 100-question mock exams and a tutor grounded in the RES 2A material.
The official examination contains 100 multiple-choice questions, lasts 150 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.
