Arizona Real Estate Practice Exam

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.

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.

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.

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.
