Alaska licenses real estate salespersons through the Alaska Real Estate Commission (AREC). Pearson VUE delivers the salesperson exam in one sitting: 80 national and 40 Alaska state scored multiple-choice items in four hours, with a scaled 75 pass required on both portions. Pearson lists a $115 exam fee per attempt; confirm the live fee and scheduling rules in handbook #092200 before you book.
National practice for $79, or starter for $49 (30 days). State-specific exam prep is not available for this jurisdiction yet.

“National bank was solid, but the New York drills matched what showed up on the DOS exam. Passed first try after a month of nightly practice.”
“Diagnostic said I was weak on contracts and math. After drilling those topics my readiness dial finally cleared the 75 bar.”
“Pearson VUE clock felt familiar because I had already done three timed sims. Missed eight on the real thing and still cleared scaled 70.”
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.
License exams test how Alaska statutes, commission rules, and candidate bulletins interact. Use the Statutes and regulations links on this page for primary sources, then confirm live fees and outlines with the regulator before you schedule.
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.
Start with the official content outlines and candidate handbook, then drill national concepts such as contracts, valuation, and fair housing. Use timed practice to build stamina for the four-hour session. On this page, start the free 10-question national practice test (email-gated review and readiness report). Casa does not yet offer Alaska state-specific questions, so national practice does not replace Alaska statute study or AREC outline review. When you want unlimited national bank access, choose paid plans from the offer stack on this hub.
Study these official statute, rule, and regulator sources for this jurisdiction. Confirm current text before exam day.
You must be at least 19 years old, complete 40 hours of AREC-approved pre-licensing education within eighteen months before applying, pass the Pearson VUE salesperson exam, affiliate with a licensed Alaska broker, verify current errors and omissions insurance, and apply within six months of passing. Non-residents follow the same education and exam rules and may need additional consent or license history documentation.
Difficulty depends on your preparation, but the scope is broad. You must pass both an 80-question national portion and a 40-question Alaska state portion in one four-hour sitting, and each portion uses scaled scoring with 75 required to pass. Candidates who underprepare on Alaska Landlord Tenant Act rules, trust accounts, or transfer disclosures often struggle on the state section even when national concepts feel familiar.
Pearson VUE reports scaled scores from 0 to 100 on each portion, with 75 required to pass both the national and state sections. The handbook does not publish a fixed number of raw questions you may miss because unscored pretest items and changing exam forms affect scoring. Study to meet the 75 scaled threshold on each portion rather than targeting a specific miss count.
Pearson VUE does not cap attempts in the current candidate handbook, but you must wait at least twenty-four hours after a failed attempt before scheduling a retake. If you pass one portion and fail the other, you must retake the entire examination, not just the failed section. Each attempt requires paying the published exam fee again when you reserve.
The national portion covers general salesperson-level real estate topics such as property ownership, valuation, financing, contracts, agency, fair housing, disclosures, and math. The Alaska state portion emphasizes commission powers and the recovery fund, licensing rules, consumer disclosures, trust accounts, advertising, personal services agreements, property management, and the Alaska Landlord Tenant Act. Review the Alaska Real Estate Law content outline in publication 092200 for current weights.
Pearson VUE lists a $115 salesperson exam fee per attempt in the July 2026 candidate handbook. AREC license fees are separate: the Salesperson by Examination application lists a $200 non-refundable application fee, a $120 license fee, and a $50 recovery fund fee ($370 total). Pre-licensing courses, errors and omissions insurance, and broker affiliation costs are additional.
Not yet. Casa Academy does not currently sell an Alaska state exam prep product. This hub embeds a free national practice test and sells paid plans only. National practice helps with the general portion and study habits, but it does not cover Alaska state-law items or replace AREC outline review.
Complete approved pre-licensing education first, then create a Pearson VUE account and reserve a seat at least twenty-four hours ahead. Pay the exam fee when booking; payment is not accepted at the test center. Bring acceptable primary and secondary identification listed in the candidate handbook.
