I totally get how frustrating that can be, especially when you’ve always done well in exams before. The RES exam isn’t just about knowing facts — it tests understanding of practical rules and scenarios in real estate, which can catch even confident students off guard.

Some tips that might help:

Focus on past exam papers and understand the reasoning behind answers, not just memorising.

Join study groups or forums to get different perspectives.

Try to connect the theory with real-life property cases to make it stick.

Consider coaching or revision classes if you haven’t yet.

Don’t give up just yet. Your passion and background in accounting are solid foundations. If you want, I can share some study resources or guide you on how to tackle the exam better.

Feel free to message me anytime.
