Florida Real Estate Practice Exam

Florida salesperson candidates take a single computer-based licensing exam administered by Pearson VUE. The standard appointment includes 100 scored multiple-choice questions in 3.5 hours. Florida requires 75% to pass at the testing center, which means at least 75 correct answers out of 100. Each question is worth one point; Florida does not use scaled scoring. Pearson VUE may include unscored pilot questions with additional time, but only the 100 scored items count toward your grade. That passing bar is higher than Casa Academy's 70% course final threshold, so aim for 75% on timed practice sets before you schedule. Pearson VUE displays your result when you finish, and DBPR updates your application status after a passing score.

DBPR's Candidate Information Booklet organizes the salesperson exam into nineteen content areas drawn from Chapter 475, Part I, Florida Statutes, and Chapter 61J2, Florida Administrative Code. Use the official outline for current weights because exam forms can change.

• Real Estate Brokerage Activities and Procedures (12%): brokerage offices, advertising, escrow and trust accounts, commissions, anti-trust, business entities, and trade names.
• Real Estate Contracts (12%): contract essentials, statute of frauds, listing and buyer-broker agreements, sale and purchase contracts, and mandatory disclosures including radon, lead-based paint, and HOA.
• Residential Mortgages (9%): mortgage theory, loan instruments, FHA/VA/conventional loans, qualifying buyers, and real estate finance math.
• Property Rights, Estates, and Tenancies (8%): fee simple, life estates, tenancy types, homestead protection, condominiums, cooperatives, and time-sharing.
• Real Estate Appraisal (8%): USPAP, market value, sales comparison, cost-depreciation, and income capitalization approaches.
• Authorized Relationships, Duties, and Disclosures (7%): Florida agency law, transaction broker, single agent, no brokerage relationship, misrepresentation, and ethics.
• Titles, Deeds, and Ownership Restrictions (7%): acquiring title, deed types, easements, liens, and deed restrictions.
• License Law and Qualifications for Licensure (6%): Florida license law history, sales associate qualifications, post-licensing, continuing education, and exempt individuals.
• Real Estate Related Computations and Closing (6%): closing statement math and transaction computations.
• Legal Descriptions (5%): metes and bounds, lot and block, government survey system, and legal description math.

License exams test how Florida 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.

• Florida Real Estate Commission (FREC)
• DBPR real estate candidate checklist
• Florida Statutes Chapter 475 (Real Estate Brokers, Sales Associates, Schools)
• Florida Administrative Code 61J2 (FREC rules)

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

• Be at least 18 years old with a high school diploma or equivalent and a U.S. Social Security number.
• Complete a DBPR-approved 63-hour sales associate pre-licensing course and pass your school's final exam. Bring your course completion certificate to every Pearson VUE sitting; the certificate is valid for two years from completion.
• Submit the Sales Associate Initial Application (RE 1) to DBPR with electronic fingerprints through an FDLE-registered Livescan provider.
• After DBPR approves your eligibility, schedule at home.pearsonvue.com/fl/realestate, pay the published exam fee, and bring acceptable ID plus your pre-licensing certificate.
• Pass the Pearson VUE exam with at least 75 points out of 100, then affiliate with a Florida licensed broker to activate your license.
• Pay separate exam and license charges. Pearson VUE lists a $36.75 examination fee per attempt. DBPR lists a $62.75 RE 1 application fee plus fingerprint charges separate from the Pearson exam fee.

Run timed blocks that mirror the 100-question, 3.5-hour appointment. Review explanations even when you guess correctly, and list your three weakest topics after each session. Week one: drill high-weight chapters and the matching topic hubs at /florida-real-estate-exam. Week two: alternate custom topic drills in full exam prep with full simulations. Week three: take consecutive timed attempts at or above 75%, then schedule Pearson VUE. Casa Academy's free practice uses real Florida pre-licensing items with instant feedback and AI tutor support on missed questions.
