FAQ about Products​

Our Online Question Banks are not sorted by year. They are composed by our company and are not related to the Singapore College of Insurance (SCI) and The Institute of Banking & Finance (IBF) in any manner.

Our Online Question Banks are updated irregularly. Most of them are updated within 1-2 months.

Our Online Question Banks are not questions in the actual examination, questions from the past paper and not historical questions.

We do not recommend that candidates study only with the Online Question Bank. Candidates should study with both the Online Question Bank and the official manual/our free video classes for a more thorough understanding of the content.

 

We suggest that candidates prepare for the examination by following steps:

  1. Study 1 chapter in the study manual/ 1 chapter of our free video class
  2. Finish the relevant topic in the Pass Paper Question Bank

This will take 25-30 hours. Almost 80% of our candidates can pass the exam in their first attempt.

According to our statistics, candidates who use our Online Question Bank alongside the official manual have an 80% chance of passing the exam.

We only provide Question Bank on our website. We do not offer physical copies, PDF versions or other downloadable copies.

You can find the number of questions we have in the product description on each product page.
