Alaska Real Estate Practice Exam

The exam has a national portion with 80 scored multiple-choice items and an Alaska state-law portion with 40 scored items. The national section includes five unscored pretest questions; the state section includes five to ten unscored pretest items mixed with scored content. You receive four hours for the full sitting and leave with an immediate pass or fail score report. Alaska uses scaled scores from 0 to 100 on each portion independently, with a passing scaled score of 75 required on both the general and state sections. If you pass one portion and fail the other, you must retake the entire examination on your next attempt.

Pearson VUE publishes separate national and Alaska Real Estate Law content outlines in publication 092200. Use the official publications for current topic weights because forms can change.

• National portion (80 scored items): property characteristics, ownership and transfer, valuation, contracts and agency, real estate practice, disclosures, financing, settlement, and math at the salesperson level.
• State portion: Alaska Real Estate Commission powers, recovery fund, investigations, and disciplinary sanctions.
• State portion: licensing activities, license status changes, licensed and unlicensed assistants, and errors and omissions insurance.
• State portion: licensee duties, Residential Real Property Transfer Disclosure, Common Interest Ownership Act resale requirements, advertising, trust accounts, and prohibited conduct.
• State portion: personal services agreements (listings, buyer representation, property management), Alaska Landlord Tenant Act, and Alaska Human Rights Law protected classes.

Alaska salesperson candidates must satisfy AREC education, examination, and application rules in addition to passing the Pearson VUE exam. Review the current candidate handbook and application instructions before applying because fees and deadlines can change.

• Be at least 19 years old and plan to affiliate with a licensed Alaska real estate broker after passing.
• Complete 40 hours of AREC-approved pre-licensing education within eighteen months immediately preceding your licensure application.
• Pass the salesperson licensing exam and apply for licensure within six months of your passing score report.
• Submit the Salesperson by Examination application with verification of current errors and omissions insurance.
• Bring two valid forms of identification that match your Pearson VUE registration exactly when you test.
• Pay separate exam and license fees. Pearson VUE lists a $115 salesperson exam fee per attempt in the July 2026 handbook; AREC lists a $200 non-refundable application fee, a $120 license fee, and a $50 recovery fund fee ($370 total) on the current application form.
