Which statement accurately describes Derivatives dealing scope in RES 2B Chapter 2?
RES 2B covers the rules, ethics and practical skills expected of derivatives dealers acting for non-exchange-member principals in Singapore. The seven chapters move from capital-market structure and licensing through derivatives market conduct, OTC contracts, professional ethics, dealing practice and prevention of financial crimes.
The course turns the current examinable source into seven detailed summaries, 155 active-recall flashcards, a 144-item searchable reference sheet, five timed 60-question mock exams and a tutor grounded in the RES 2B material.
The official examination contains 60 multiple-choice questions, lasts 90 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 source breadth and regulatory density rather than a claim about the live examination mix.
