Real Estate Salesperson & Broker Licensing Overview
An independent, unofficial guide to the national portion of U.S. state real estate salesperson and broker licensing exams, with 1,000 original practice questions across 5 sections, not affiliated with or endorsed by any state real estate commission or testing vendor.
Licensed state by state, not federally: like insurance producer licensing elsewhere on this platform, real estate licensing is regulated individually by each state's real estate commission. Most states deliver a two-part exam — a "national" portion covering general real estate principles and practices, and a "state" portion covering that state's specific license law — through a testing vendor (commonly PSI, AMP, or Pearson VUE). This module covers the national (general) content only, organized into five practice sections. Broker licensing builds on salesperson-level content, adds brokerage management and trust fund topics, and typically requires a period of prior salesperson experience. Always confirm your own state's exact content outline, question counts, and experience requirements against its real estate commission's candidate handbook.

How this platform's testlets differ
Real state exams commonly run 80–130 questions over 2.5–3 hours, combining a national portion with a separate state-law portion. This portal instead lets you drill one of 5 sections at a time: pick a section below and take a focused, timed, 15-question testlet randomly drawn from that section's 200-question bank, paced at about 1.2 minutes per question. It won't feel like sitting the full-length exam, but it's built for honest, untimed-then-timed review of each area — and no two testlets are guaranteed to be identical.
A note on scoring
States don't publish a single universal scaled-score curve for real estate exams — most report straightforward percent-correct against a stated pass line, commonly around 70–75%, though the exact figure and the split between national and state portions vary by state. This platform mirrors that directly rather than inventing a curve.
