How the Arizona salesperson exams are structured

Effective January 1, 2026, Arizona salesperson candidates take two independent Pearson VUE exams: a General (national) exam and a separate State-Specific exam. Each appointment has its own fee, time limit, and 75% passing standard reported as a percent score from 0% to 100%. You need at least 60 correct answers on the 80 scored General items and at least 45 correct on the 60 scored State items. Each exam may include five unscored pretest questions that do not affect your score. Schedule both back to back through Pearson VUE to receive the published combo discount on the combined reservation fee.

What is on the Arizona real estate exam?

Pearson VUE publishes separate General and State content outlines in publication 090301. Use the official outlines for current topic weights because exam forms can change.

  • General exam (80 scored items): property characteristics, land use controls, valuation, real estate finance, agency, contracts, fair housing, property disclosures, and federal regulation topics from the April 2025 national outline.
  • State exam: Arizona Real Estate Regulatory Framework, including ADRE scope, recovery fund rules, and licensing requirements.
  • State exam: Arizona consumer protection, homestead laws, fair housing, and advertising standards under Arizona statutes and Commissioner rules.
  • State exam: Arizona agency relationships, licensee duties, contracts, escrow and title services, ownership and encumbrances, and foreclosure or short-sale processes, including Arizona water law where applicable.

Key Arizona statutes and regulations to study

License exams test how Arizona 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.

  • Arizona Revised Statutes Title 32 Chapter 20
  • Arizona Department of Real Estate rules and statutes
  • Arizona Department of Real Estate, Salesperson license
  • ADRE fees (license and recovery fund)

What are Arizona's real estate license requirements?

Arizona salesperson candidates must satisfy ADRE education, examination, fingerprint, and application rules in addition to passing both Pearson VUE exams. Review the current candidate handbook and ADRE salesperson license page before applying because fees and deadlines can change.

  • Be at least 18 years old when applying for a license and provide proof of authorized legal presence in the United States.
  • Complete at least 90 hours of ADRE-approved pre-licensing coursework and pass the school final exam within ten years of your license application date.
  • Obtain a Level 1 non-IVP Arizona Fingerprint Clearance Card through the Arizona Department of Public Safety before licensure.
  • Pass both the General and State-Specific Pearson VUE exams, then submit your salesperson license application to ADRE within one year of passing.
  • Complete the six-hour Arizona Contract Writing Course before ADRE issues your license (ADRE requires the certificate within two years of application submission).
  • Pay separate exam and license fees. Pearson VUE lists $70 for the General exam and $60 for the State exam per attempt; ADRE lists a $50 original license fee plus a $10 Real Estate Recovery Fund fee ($60 total) for first-time salesperson licenses.

How to study for Arizona's split format

Treat the General and State exams as separate study plans. Use the Pearson VUE content outlines to weight Arizona statutes, Commissioner rules, agency law, contract topics, and water law for the state sitting, then review national finance, valuation, and fair housing concepts for the general sitting. Pair official reading with timed practice so you can finish each appointment within the allotted minutes. Start with the free Arizona practice test on this page for a readiness snapshot, then continue into unlimited blueprint-matched Arizona practice if you purchase paid plans.

What Arizona exam prep includes during 12-month access

The State plan unlocks unlimited blueprint-matched simulated exams, exam-day simulation, weak-topic mastery drills, spaced-repetition flashcards, and adaptive custom practice against the Arizona question bank for twelve months from activation. The State + National plan adds the national bank with combined practice, the AI tutor grounded in the Arizona product manual, and the pass-or-refund guarantee for eligible buyers. Access is English only. Renewal is manual (no automatic billing). A 3-day no-questions-asked refund policy applies to nationwide purchases.

Common questions

What are the requirements to become a licensed real estate agent in Arizona?

You must be at least 18 years old, complete 90 hours of ADRE-approved pre-licensing education with a passing school final exam, obtain a Level 1 non-IVP fingerprint clearance card, pass both the General and State-Specific Pearson VUE exams, and submit your salesperson application to ADRE within one year of passing. ADRE also requires the six-hour Arizona Contract Writing Course before it will issue your license.

How hard is the Arizona real estate exam?

Difficulty depends on your preparation, but the scope is broad across two sittings. You must score at least 75% on an 80-question General exam and at least 75% on a 60-question State-Specific exam, each with its own time limit. Candidates who underprepare on Arizona statutes, Commissioner rules, agency duties, or contract law often struggle on the state exam even when national concepts feel familiar.

How many questions can you miss on the Arizona real estate exam?

Pearson VUE reports a percent score based on scored items only. On the General exam you need at least 60 correct out of 80 scored questions, so you can miss up to 20 scored items and still meet the 75% threshold. On the State-Specific exam you need at least 45 correct out of 60 scored questions, so you can miss up to 15 scored items. Unscored pretest questions do not count toward your score.

How many times can you take the Arizona real estate exam?

Pearson VUE does not publish a maximum attempt count, but you must wait 24 hours after a failed exam before scheduling a retake, and each attempt requires the full published exam fee. Because General and State exams are separate appointments with separate score reports, you typically retake only the portion you did not pass. After a second failure on a given exam, you may schedule a one-time 30-minute exam review within 14 days before your next attempt.

What is on the Arizona real estate exam?

The General exam covers national real estate principles such as property ownership, land use, valuation, finance, agency, contracts, fair housing, and disclosures. The State-Specific exam covers Arizona statutes, Commissioner rules, agency and licensee duties, Arizona contracts, escrow and title services, ownership and encumbrances, foreclosure processes, and Arizona water law. Review Pearson VUE content outline publication 090301 for the current topic list.

How much does the Arizona real estate exam and license cost?

Pearson VUE lists $70 for the General exam and $60 for the State exam per attempt, with a $75 combo discount when you schedule both back to back. ADRE license fees are separate: the fees page lists a $50 original salesperson license fee plus a $10 Real Estate Recovery Fund fee ($60 total). Pre-licensing courses, fingerprint clearance, and the contract writing course carry additional provider charges.

What does the free practice test on this hub use?

The embedded practice test selects five questions from the Arizona exam prep product bank. Answer explanations and the readiness report stay locked until you submit a valid email for that attempt. The short practice test is a readiness snapshot, not a mastery score and not a substitute for full blueprint-matched practice exams.

How do the plans differ on this hub?

Every plan includes twelve months of access with unlimited exams, flashcards, adaptive drills, and mastery tools. The State plan covers the Arizona bank, the National plan covers the national bank, and the State + National plan includes both banks with combined practice, the AI tutor grounded in the Arizona manual, and the pass-or-refund guarantee for eligible buyers.
