Associate Assessment (AssocRICS) Practice Test

The Associate Assessment is a computer-based exam consisting of 47 scenario-based multiple-choice questions. You will have 90 minutes to complete the exam. The questions present realistic professional situations, and you must choose the best answer from four options.

Move beyond passive reading. Actively engage with the RICS standards, ethics, and your technical guides. Use official RICS preparation materials and practice exams to familiarize yourself with the question style. For each scenario, practice identifying the core ethical dilemma, technical rule, or regulatory requirement at its heart before looking at the answer options.

Yes, there is a required pass mark set by RICS. If you are unsuccessful, you will receive feedback on the competency areas where improvement is needed. You can retake the assessment, but you must wait a specified period and will need to pay a re-sit fee. It is crucial to analyze your performance and address knowledge gaps before attempting again.

No. The Associate Assessment is a closed-book exam. You are tested on your internalized knowledge and ability to apply RICS standards and technical principles from memory. You cannot bring any notes, guides, or electronic devices into the testing environment.

The submission of technical competence (the 'logbook') is a written portfolio demonstrating your experience and knowledge across specific competencies. The Associate Assessment is the final, independent verification of that competence. It tests your ability to apply that knowledge under exam conditions to standardized scenarios, ensuring a consistent benchmark for all AssocRICS members.
