The ten heavy chapters (about 80%)

Florida pre-license coursework follows 19 FREPSA chapters. Ten of them carry about 80% of the state exam question share. Casa Academy timed full practice uses those same chapter weights so drills mirror where the test spends most of its questions. Casa does not write the state exam. Outline and weight list opened 2026-10-14: https://casaacademy.com/florida-real-estate-exam/most-important-chapters. The ten chapters: 2 License law and qualifications (6%), 4 Authorized relationships and duties (7%), 5 Brokerage activities and procedures (12%), 8 Property rights, estates, and tenancies (8%), 9 Title, deeds, and ownership restrictions (7%), 10 Legal descriptions (5%), 11 Real estate contracts (12%), 12 Residential mortgages (9%), 14 Real estate math and closings (6%), 16 Real estate appraisal (8%). Chapters 5 and 11 are the two highest single weights at about 12% each. The other nine chapters still matter for the remaining about 20%.

How to use the outline

Master the ten heavy chapters first, then fill gaps in the lower-weight chapters before you sit. Chapter 14 concentrates commission, proration, and closing math; use the math guide when that section is your weak spot: /learn/florida-real-estate/florida-real-estate-exam-math. For a full study plan that sequences the outline with practice, see /learn/florida-real-estate/how-to-study-for-the-florida-real-estate-exam. The school end-of-course final is a separate 70% bar set by your school. Do not treat a 70% school pass as a Pearson 75/100 pass. Free Florida practice samples: /free-exam-prep.
