The e-Quiz is an online Continuing Professional Development (CPD) activity offered by the Estate Agents Authority (EAA) free of charge. It takes the form of a simulated property transaction, resembling a situation that a licensee may come across in everyday practice, and may cover matters outside the introductory scope of the qualifying examination syllabi.

After reading the case study and supporting materials, participants are asked to answer a quiz comprising 10-20 questions. One CPD point (core subject) will be awarded to licensees who attain the pass mark specified for that particular e-Quiz. The pass mark may vary, depending on the case study's level of difficulty.

There will be one e-Quiz every two months. The e-Quiz is scheduled for release on the second Tuesday of the issuing month.

Online registration with the EAA in advance is required for licensees who wish to participate in the e-Quiz:

1. Click 'Register Now' from the menu bar at the top.
2. Complete the online form with your personal particulars as instructed. Create your own username and password.
3. An e-mail will be sent to confirm your registration.
4. You will receive automatic notification of subsequent releases of the e-quiz via your registered e-mail address.

Licensees who require their answers to be marked manually need not register in advance. The e-Quiz materials will be supplied via the fax-on-demand service by calling 2111 2777 to contact the EAA around the scheduled release date. Those who wish to take part after receiving the materials can submit their answers according to the instructions given on the accompanying Request for Manual Marking of the e-Quiz form. Participants will have to produce (or provide a copy of) their Estate Agent Card for identification.

Non-licensees (including licensees whose licence has expired) need prior approval from the EAA before taking an e-Quiz and can only participate in the manual mode. Please seek written consent from the EAA before submitting answers to the EAA.

Where a licensee who has registered to participate online also asks the EAA to have answers marked manually, the online answers will be disregarded. Only the answers marked manually will count.

Answers must be submitted before the deadline specified, usually within two weeks after the issue of the e-Quiz. Please pay special attention to the deadline specified for each release.

Answers given must be the sole work of the participant, not copied from others.

The results and answer guide will be released to each valid participant via their registered email address two weeks after the deadline. The decision of the EAA is final and no request for review will be entertained.

Unless a participant holds a valid licence on the day the e-Quiz is released, or has obtained prior written consent from the EAA, answers submitted may be disregarded.

The latest e-Quiz and answers will be archived on the EAA website after the release of a new e-Quiz. Information in the archive is open to all.

According to Section 5.1 of the CPD Guidelines, the number of CPD points that can be earned through e-Quiz is capped at 4 points per CPD period.
