About this test

Is this the RERACertified™ certification?

No. This is a free practice test on the basics of the RERA Act, 2016. It gives you a practice score and a result card you can share, but it is not a certificate, has no credential ID and cannot be verified. The RERACertified™ credential is earned only by completing the paid course and passing its final exam.

Is RERACertified a government licence?

No. RERACertified™ is a private certification course. To work as a real estate agent you still need your own registration with your state's RERA authority under Section 9 of the Act.

What does the test cover?

Fifteen questions on the central RERA Act, 2016: agent registration and duties, advertisements, advances, the 70% project account, carpet area, buyer rights on delay and defects, possession, conveyance and appeals. State rules differ, so the test sticks to the central Act.

Do I need to give my email?

No. Your name is optional too. If you tick the box and add your email, we may send you occasional RERA updates and course news; you can unsubscribe at any time.
