Under Chapter 1, which statement accurately describes MAS?
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.
