About the national real estate exam
Every state's licensing exam has two portions: a national portion (60–100 multiple-choice questions on topics like property ownership, contracts, agency, financing, valuation, land use, transfer of title, fair housing, and math) and a state portion covering your state's license law. Most states require roughly 70–75% correct on each portion to pass.
This 25-question quiz mirrors the topic mix of the national portion so you can quickly spot weak areas. Not sure how tough the real thing is? See first-attempt pass rates by state →

Frequently asked questions
- How is the real estate licensing exam structured?
- Most states use a two-portion exam: a national portion (60–100 multiple-choice questions covering topics like property ownership, contracts, agency, financing, valuation, and fair housing) and a state-specific portion (40–50 questions on your state's license law and practice). This quiz covers the national portion.
- What score do I need to pass?
- Most states require roughly 70–75% correct on each portion. This practice exam uses a 70% benchmark (18 of 25 questions) to match what a passing performance looks like on the national side.
- Is this practice exam an official exam?
- No. These are original practice questions written to mirror the topic mix and difficulty of the national portion (Property Ownership, Land Use, Valuation, Financing, Agency, Contracts, Transfer of Title, Practice of Real Estate, and Calculations). Use it to identify weak topics, not as a substitute for state-approved prep.
- How should I use my results?
- Focus your next study session on your two weakest topics. If you score below 70% overall, plan on another 8–12 hours of national-portion review before scheduling your real exam. Our free study guide walks through the highest-yield formulas and vocabulary.
