After submitting your documents, RICS will inform you on the expected timeline for receiving feedback.
If you pass the Preliminary Review, you will be arranged for online interview with RICS assessor panel (usually 3 members). Remember that the review does not form part of the final assessment interview. It’s very important for you to showcase your knowledge and competencies in this interview. The questions will be asked for all the competencies and mostly based on your submission and your declared experience.
Please refer to this Assessor Guide to understand what the Assessor looks for in an interview:

We’ll have 2 sessions to prepare you for the interview.

Within 5 working days of the Interview date (or any other period informed by the Chairperson in the interview), you will receive the result from RICS via email.
The result will be either PASS or REFERRED.
If in the Assessor Panel’s opinion, the candidate is not ready to be an MRICS, there will be a referral report showing all the constructive feedback so that the candidate will rectify any deficiency and get ready for the next interview. Do not be discouraged by a Referred result as according to RICS, the Passing rate is about 60 ~ 70%. However, together we will try to avoid this situation as much as possible by preparing you well for the Final Assessment.
The key thing in getting a PASS result is to allow sufficient time for yourself to study and prepare, so that you will enter the Final Assessment with confidence and knowledge! </aside>
