Why the Hong Kong real estate exam is so hard to pass


If you’ve opened the official EAA and PEAK source materials, you already know the problem:

  • Overwhelming volume – thousands of pages scattered across different sources.
  • Dense legal wording – difficult to read and easy to miss key points.
  • Not exam-oriented – critical details buried in long explanations.
  • Inefficient learning – many spend days just sorting through what’s relevant.
  • No full practice papers – the EAA only releases short quarterly quizzes, with archives going back just three past e-quizzes. They don’t reflect the full scope of the exam.


No wonder so many fail their first attempts.

FAQ

On average, about 30 hours, which is at least 50% faster than studying the raw source materials. Lessons focus on what matters most for efficient preparation.



Q: The curriculum looks overwhelming - how do I manage it?
Content is broken into bite-sized lessons with clear summaries and key takeaways, so you can progress step by step without getting lost.



Q: Why is the exam so difficult?
All questions have five answer options, often combining statements like “Only A and C are true” or “C, B and D are true.” In the real exam, sometimes the possible statements may sound logical, but if it’s not in the source materials, it won’t be counted as correct, so knowing details is essential.
