EAA Past Papers, Sample Questions and Mock Exams
Checked against official sources: 11 Oct 2026. Rules, fees and dates change, so confirm anything time-sensitive on eaa.org.hk.
Candidates search for SQE and EAQE past papers because past papers are how they prepared for school exams. The Estate Agents Authority (EAA) does not publish them. What it does publish is a free online mock examination, short “mini mocks” and sets of sample questions with explanations. This guide sets out what each one contains, what the EAA says about their limits, and how to combine them with timed practice. Details are from the EAA website, checked 11 Oct 2026.
The EAA publishes no past papers
The EAA’s Preparing for qualifying examinations page says it does not publish any study materials for the exams. It lists the Code of Ethics, the Practice Circulars and its Study Guide as helpful reading, plus sample questions and the online mock. It lists no past papers. In the paper-based exam, the question book and answer sheet may not be taken out of the room (Paper-based Examination Handbook, August 2026, Appendix 4, instruction 7).

What the EAA gives you free
| Resource | SQE | EAQE | How it works |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard mock exam | Part I: 40 stand-alone questions; Part II: 10 questions on a case study | Part I: 30 stand-alone questions; Part II: 20 questions on a case study | Close to the real format. You must answer each question to move on, and you review your answers at the end of each part |
| Mini mock exam | 15 stand-alone questions in 3 levels | 15 stand-alone questions in 3 levels | 5 randomly selected questions per level. You need at least 4 of 5 right to move up a level |
| Sample questions with explanations | 40 stand-alone questions | 40 stand-alone questions | Answers with explanations, to read rather than sit |
| Mock exam in full text | One PDF of the mock exam questions with answers | Same PDF | Download to study offline |
| Handbook sample questions | Appendix 2 of the CBE handbook | Appendix 3 of the paper-based handbook | A short set at the back of each Examination Handbook |
All of these are on eaa.org.hk at no cost, in English and Chinese. The mock page does not state a time limit for the standard mock, so set your own timer: 2 hours 30 minutes for the SQE and 3 hours for the EAQE, the real exam times (EAA examination page, checked 11 Oct 2026).
What the EAA says about its own samples
The EAA attaches four warnings to its sample questions (Online Mock Examination page, checked 11 Oct 2026):
- They are for reference only and are not training or study materials for the exams.
- They do not cover the whole syllabus. The EAA advises candidates to study every part of it.
- The EAA gives no warranty that their content is up to date, because laws and practice change.
- Answering them correctly does not mean you will pass.
The third point matters. Hong Kong abolished Buyer’s Stamp Duty and Special Stamp Duty on 28 February 2024, and the EAA’s Mandatory CPD Scheme (Phase 1) began on 1 January 2025. An older sample question can be right for its time and wrong today. Check every figure against current law before you memorise it.
How to use the EAA mocks with timed practice
The EAA set is small: one standard mock per exam and 40 sample questions each. Once you have seen them, a second attempt mostly measures memory. Use them where they give the most information.
| When | What to do | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Week 1 | Sit the EAA standard mock for your exam, timed, before you study much | Shows the question style and your starting gap, part by part |
| Weeks 1 to 4 | Study topic by topic and practise each topic as you go | The EAA set is too small to drill a topic |
| Weekly | Sit a fresh timed mock and score each part against 60% | The exam is failed part by part, not on the total |
| Final week | Read the EAA sample explanations and re-sit the mini mocks | Quick revision of the EAA’s own wording |
For fresh timed papers, our free mock mixes stand-alone Part I questions with a Part II land search or case study and marks each part against 60%. No sign-up is needed to start. Our sample questions show the worked explanation behind each answer. The full mocks use the real counts and time (50 questions in 2 hours 30 minutes for the SQE, 50 in 3 hours for the EAQE) and come with a paid pass. Aim for 70% or more in each part in timed mocks before you book; the 2025 pass rates show why (see EAA exam pass rates).
What our questions are, and are not
Every question on this site is an original practice question, written to the EAA’s published syllabus and checked against the current ordinances, regulations and Practice Circulars. They are not EAA past papers, not EAA sample questions and not endorsed by the EAA. We do not copy, translate or paraphrase the EAA’s sample or mock questions. Each explanation ends with its source and the date it was checked, so you can see which law it rests on.
Part II is where many candidates lose the exam. If land searches are new to you, start with how to tackle Part II land searches and case studies.
