Sample Taiwan Real Estate Agent Examination Practice Questions

Try these sample questions to review concepts for the Taiwan Real Estate Agent Examination exam. Each question includes a detailed explanation. Start the interactive quiz above for the full 100+ question experience with AI tutoring.

1A 15-year-old enters a property purchase contract without their statutory agent's consent. No exception allowing the minor to act independently applies. Under Article 79 of Taiwan's Civil Code, what is the contract's status before ratification?

A.The contract is valid from the moment of signing

B.The contract is void ab initio

C.The contract is of uncertain validity (validity pending ratification by the statutory agent)

D.The contract is permanently voidable only by the court

Explanation: Under Article 79, this contract has pending validity (效力未定). It takes effect upon the statutory agent's ratification; it is not automatically valid or definitively void when signed.

2Under Article 169 of the Civil Code, which conduct by a principal can establish apparent agency (表見代理), assuming the third party neither knows nor could know that authority is absent?

A.The agent explicitly presents a forged power of attorney that the principal had no knowledge of and took immediate legal steps to report upon discovery

B.The principal was aware that another person represented themselves as the principal's agent and failed to express any objection

C.The agent exceeded their authorized scope of agency while the third party was fully aware of the written power of attorney's specific limits

D.The third party was grossly negligent in failing to verify the identity of an unauthorized individual who claimed to be an agent

Explanation: Article 169 covers a principal who manifests that authority has been granted or knowingly tolerates another's representation of agency. Protection is unavailable where the third party knew or could have known that authority was absent.

3What is the statutory extinctive prescription (消滅時效) period for claims regarding rent of real property and interest under Article 126 of the Civil Code?

A.2 years

B.15 years

C.10 years

D.5 years

Explanation: Article 126 gives a five-year prescription period for the listed periodic claims, including rent and interest. This specific rule displaces the ordinary fifteen-year period for claims without a shorter statutory limitation.

4Absent a different agreement, what does Article 249 of the Civil Code require when performance becomes impossible for a reason attributable to the seller who received earnest money (定金)?

A.The earnest money is forfeited entirely by the receiver without further liability

B.The receiver must return double the amount of the earnest money received

C.The receiver only needs to return the exact original amount of earnest money without interest

D.The seller must return the deposit plus interest, but no additional deposit amount

Explanation: Article 249 supplies default rules unless the parties agree otherwise. Where inability to perform is attributable to the recipient, the recipient must return double the earnest money (加倍返還所受之定金).

5Under Article 252 of the Civil Code, what power does a court possess regarding agreed liquidated damages (違約金) in a real estate purchase agreement?

A.The court must enforce the exact amount agreed by the parties regardless of severity

B.The court may reduce the agreed liquidated damages to a reasonable amount if they are disproportionately high

C.The court may declare the entire sales contract null and void if liquidated damages exceed 5% of the purchase price

D.The court can only increase liquidated damages if the injured party suffered higher actual loss

Explanation: Article 252 permits a court to reduce an excessive agreed penalty to an appropriate amount. The existence of an agreed figure therefore does not compel enforcement of a disproportionately high sum.

6Under Article 356 of the Civil Code, what obligation rests upon the buyer of real property upon receiving delivery to preserve statutory warranty claims for defects (物之瑕疵擔保)?

A.The buyer may postpone inspection until a planned resale of the property

B.The buyer must inspect the property without delay and promptly notify the seller of any discovered defects

C.The buyer must deposit the remainder of the purchase price into an escrow account until all repairs are completed

D.The buyer must notify only the intermediary, even if the seller receives no notice

Explanation: Article 356 requires prompt examination using ordinary procedures and immediate notice to the seller of a covered defect. Failure to notify generally deems acceptance; a latent defect not discoverable by ordinary inspection must instead be notified promptly when later discovered.

7Where the seller did not intentionally conceal a defect, what ordinary time limits does Civil Code Article 365 set for the buyer's rescission or price-reduction right?

A.Within 3 months from notification, and at most 1 year from delivery

B.Within 2 years from notification, and at most 15 years from delivery

C.Within 1 year from notification, and at most 10 years from delivery

D.Within 6 months from notification, and at most 5 years from delivery

Explanation: Article 365 normally extinguishes these rights six months after notice or five years after delivery, whichever bar applies first. Intentional nondisclosure by the seller removes the six-month limitation under paragraph 2; it does not remove the five-year limit.

8Each tenant has received delivery and still possesses the property when ownership transfers. Under Civil Code Article 425 ('sale does not break lease' / 買賣不破租賃), which lease is EXCLUDED from that statutory protection against the purchaser?

A.A residential lease of 2 years where the tenant has already taken possession and occupied the property

B.A written commercial lease of 3 years where the tenant has taken possession and operates a retail store

C.A lease of real property for a term exceeding 5 years, or an indefinite term, that has NOT been notarized and the tenant possesses the property

D.A written lease of 1 year that was notarized by a court notary prior to the property transfer

Explanation: Article 425 normally preserves a lease against a purchaser after delivery while the tenant possesses the property. Paragraph 2 excludes an unnotarized real-property lease exceeding five years or of indefinite duration, so possession alone does not secure that protection in the stated case.

9Under Article 422 of the Civil Code, what is the statutory consequence if a lease of real property for a term exceeding 1 year is not executed in writing?

A.The lease contract is null and void ab initio

B.The tenant must vacate the premises within 30 days upon landlord demand

C.The lease term is automatically reduced to exactly 6 months

D.The lease contract is deemed to be a lease for an indefinite period (未定期限之租賃)

Explanation: Article 422 requires writing for a real-property lease exceeding one year. Without writing, the lease is treated as indefinite rather than void or automatically reduced to a short fixed term.

10For a transaction without a condition precedent or a different contractual payment arrangement, when may an intermediary claim remuneration under Article 568 of the Civil Code?

A.When the principal signs the initial exclusive brokerage mandate

B.When the prospective buyer completes the first physical inspection of the property

C.When the contract between the parties has been successfully formed due to the broker's intermediation

D.Only after the property transfer registration is completed at the Land Office and purchase funds are disbursed

Explanation: Article 568 permits remuneration where the transaction contract is formed because of the intermediary's reporting or mediation. If that contract has a condition precedent, paragraph 2 postpones the remuneration claim until the condition is fulfilled.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the passing standard for the Taiwan Real Estate Agent Exam?

Under Article 9 of the examination rules, candidates must achieve a weighted total score of 60 out of 100. Chinese composition counts for 10%, and the average of the four professional subjects counts for 90%. Candidates fail if any single subject receives a score of 0 or if the professional subject average is below 50.

What format does the official examination use?

MOEX's 2026 handbook specifies five written papers: Chinese composition uses essays, while four professional papers mix essays and MCQs. Chinese lasts two hours and each professional paper lasts 90 minutes, for eight examination hours over two days. The handbook does not specify a fixed item count. These English MCQs practice professional concepts and do not replace essay drafting or Chinese composition.

What language is the official examination conducted in?

Official papers use Traditional Chinese. The Professional and Technical Examinations Act generally requires Chinese answers, but Article 20 permits foreign nationals and overseas Chinese to answer in Chinese or English. That exception does not establish an English question paper. This bank is an independent English-language MCQ study adaptation, not an official translation or a simulation of the language environment.

What are the requirements to practice as a licensed real estate broker in Taiwan?

Under Article 14 of the Real Estate Brokerage Management Act, passing the MOEX examination qualifies an individual for an examination passing certificate. To obtain the practice license (經紀人證書) from the municipal or county government, the individual must also document at least one full year of practical real estate brokerage experience.
