Arkansas Real Estate Practice Exam

The national portion includes 80 scored multiple-choice items plus five unscored pretest questions. The Arkansas state portion includes 30 scored items plus ten unscored pretest questions that do not affect your result. Pearson VUE uses scaled scoring from 0 to 100 on each portion, with a passing scaled score of 70 required on both the national and state sections. You may receive pass or fail results immediately at the test center. If you pass only one portion, you must retake the failed portion within six months; if both portions are not passed within six months, you must retake the entire examination.

Pearson VUE publishes separate national and Arkansas state content outlines. Use the official publications for current topic weights because forms can change.

• National portion (80 scored items): property ownership, land use, valuation, financing, contracts, agency, fair housing, and general real estate practice tested at the salesperson level.
• State portion: duties and powers of the Real Estate Commission, including investigations, sanctions, and the recovery fund.
• State portion: licensing requirements, license status changes, place-of-business rules, and statutory requirements for trust accounts and disbursements.
• State portion: broker supervision and executive broker rules, written agreements, advertising standards, and time-share statutes.
• State portion: agency relationships, dual agency consent, required disclosures, and fiduciary duties under Arkansas license law.

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

• Be at least 18 years old (age of majority) and complete 60 clock hours of AREC-approved pre-license education, including 30 hours in basic real estate principles.
• Submit an application for license examination to AREC with a $50 application fee (cashier's check or money order payable to AREC) and complete the required background check process after the application is processed.
• Receive an Authorization to Test email from Pearson VUE after AREC approves your application. Candidates are authorized for unlimited exam attempts for one year from the Commission approval date.
• Pass both the national and state exam portions with a scaled score of at least 70 on each. Schedule both exam components in the same Pearson VUE cart to receive the two-for-one fee discount.
• Submit licensure forms and fees to AREC no later than 90 calendar days after passing the exam. The passing score report lists the current license issuance fees.
• Pay separate exam and application charges. Pearson VUE lists a $75 total fee when both salesperson exam components are scheduled and paid in one transaction, or $75 per component when booked separately.

Read the official content outlines first, then drill national concepts such as contracts, financing, and fair housing alongside Arkansas Code Title 17, Chapter 42 review.

Those items help you practice pacing and review explanations, but they do not replace Arkansas statute study or AREC outline review.
