Will I receive the Mind Maps as soft or hard copies?

The Mind Maps were created to be used as soft copies. Many of our customers are revising on-the-go and on various platforms (mobile, tablet or laptop), so soft copy versions of the Mind Maps are more convenient. Upon confirmation of payment, the Mind Maps will be available for download (as zipped files) on the invoice. Although possible, printing in hard copy is not recommended as an A3 size print is needed. The Mind Maps will not be sent as hardcopies.

Why is there a difference in price ($50 vs $80)?

Some of our customers are re-taking the RES exams. So, they might've already passed one of the two papers and don't need the Mind Maps for both papers. Hence, we sell the Paper One and Paper Two Mind Maps separately. $50 for one set of Mind Maps (Either Paper 1 or 2) $80 for two sets of Mind Maps (Both Paper 1 and 2)

Can I get a discount?

What's the best strategy to use the Mind Maps?

1. Glance through all the Mind Maps for a brief overview and see the "style" which we used to construct the points in the Mind Maps. Take no more than 30 mins for this. It will also help you to draw connections between chapters which you might have missed out previously. ​ 2. Cross-reference the Mind Maps with your own notes to ensure you have understood the content in the syllabus. ​ 3. On top of the Mind Maps, another useful method to test your understanding is to complete the MCQs in the practice questions. As you try more questions, you will see the "pattern" in which the questions are phrased and the answers the examiners look for.

Do you have additional tips to pass the exams?

Yes! ​ Take a look at the Useful Links page. We've compiled some useful tips to tricking your brain into learning more effectively.

Confirm pass one ah?​

Honestly, we would love to give you a “guaranteed pass”. Realistically, we can only share facts and our own experiences. ​ When I (Eugene) studied for my own RES exams, I only studied these Mind Maps (didn’t even touch the thick textbook). It was enough for me to answer the questions confidently and pass on my first attempt. ​ We've had customers who studied "last minute" (about two weeks before the exam) and gave us feedback that the Mind Maps were really helpful.

I realize that there is a seller on Carousell selling Mind Maps too. Are the Mind Maps the same? Is there a discount if I buy from Carousell instead?
