How the Kansas salesperson exam is structured

The general (national) portion includes 80 scored multiple-choice items. The Kansas state portion includes 30 scored items for salesperson candidates. Pearson VUE may also include unscored pretest questions on each portion that do not affect your result. You receive 2.5 hours for the general exam and 1.5 hours for the Kansas state exam when taken in the same sitting. Pearson VUE reports scaled scores from 0 to 100 on each section, with a passing scaled score of 70 required on both the general and Kansas state portions. If you pass one section and fail the other, you may retake only the failed portion. Exam scores remain valid for six months, and you must submit your license application within six months of the earliest pass date.

What is on the Kansas real estate exam?

Pearson VUE publishes separate general and Kansas state content outlines in publications 091700 and 091705. Use both outlines when building a study plan because you must pass each section independently.

  • General portion: real estate principles, practice, finance, contracts, valuation, fair housing, and general brokerage concepts weighted in the national outline.
  • KREC commission powers, investigations, licensing and renewal requirements, advertising standards, and recordkeeping rules.
  • Brokerage Relationships in Real Estate Transactions Act (BRRETA): agency disclosure, transaction broker relationships, and required contract language.
  • Trust fund handling, supervision of affiliated licensees, and prohibited acts under Kansas license law.
  • Kansas Real Estate Brokers' and Salespersons' License Act topics aligned with the 30-item state salesperson outline.

What are Kansas's real estate license requirements?

KREC licenses salespersons after education, examination, fingerprinting, and application review. Confirm current forms and fees on the Commission website before you apply because rules and fee tables can change.

  • Be at least 18 years old with a high school diploma or equivalent before starting pre-license requirements.
  • Complete 60 hours of KREC-approved pre-license education: 30 hours of Principles before the exam and a 30-hour Kansas Practice Course before KREC receives your license application.
  • Submit a salesperson pre-license application through KREC, complete fingerprinting, and receive Authorization to Test before scheduling with Pearson VUE.
  • Pass the Pearson VUE salesperson exam with a scaled score of at least 70 on both the general and Kansas state sections.
  • Pay KREC licensing fees totaling $210 ($15 application, $70 background check, and $125 license fee) plus the Pearson VUE exam fee ($70 when both portions are scheduled together).
  • Submit your license application within six months of your earliest exam pass date, affiliate with a supervising broker, and complete all pre-license steps before background and course validity periods expire.

Study workflow Casa Academy recommends for Kansas

Read the Pearson VUE content outlines first, then drill general concepts such as contracts, financing, and fair housing under timed conditions that respect the 2.5-hour general limit. Remember that Kansas also requires a 30-hour Kansas Practice Course within six months before KREC receives your license application, separate from the Principles course you complete before testing.

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

Frequently asked questions

What are Kansas's real estate license requirements?

You must be at least 18 with a high school diploma or equivalent, complete 60 hours of KREC-approved pre-license education (30 Principles hours before testing and a 30-hour Kansas Practice Course before application), pass both Pearson VUE sections with a scaled score of at least 70, complete fingerprinting, and submit a license application within six months of your earliest pass date. KREC also requires you to affiliate with a supervising broker because an original salesperson license cannot be issued on inactive status.

How hard is the Kansas real estate exam?

Difficulty depends on preparation and whether you treat the general and state sections separately. You must pass both the 80-question general portion and the 30-question Kansas state portion, each with a scaled score of at least 70, within the allotted 2.5-hour and 1.5-hour limits. Candidates who struggle often under-prepare for BRRETA brokerage relationships, KREC trust account rules, and Kansas license law even when national concepts feel familiar.

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

Pearson VUE does not publish a fixed raw-answer miss count because each section is scored on a 0 to 100 scale after equating across exam forms. You need a scaled score of at least 70 on both the general and Kansas state sections. Study toward that scaled threshold on each portion instead of assuming a simple percentage of wrong answers.

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

KREC does not publish a fixed attempt cap for Pearson VUE retakes as long as you register and pay the exam fee each time. If you pass one section and fail the other, you may retake only the failed portion. Exam scores remain valid for six months from each pass date, and you must submit your license application within six months of the earliest pass date or retake the exam.

What is on the Kansas real estate exam?

The general section covers national real estate principles, practice, finance, contracts, valuation, and fair housing topics in the Pearson VUE general outline. The Kansas state section emphasizes KREC commission powers, licensing and renewal rules, advertising and recordkeeping, prohibited acts, BRRETA brokerage relationships, trust fund handling, and Kansas license law topics in the state content outline.

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

Pearson VUE charges $70 when you schedule both the general and Kansas state portions together ($70 per portion if scheduled separately). KREC collects $210 for original salesperson licensure ($15 application fee, $70 background check fee, and $125 license fee). Pre-license course tuition, fingerprinting service charges, and brokerage fees are separate. Payment is not accepted at the test center for the exam fee.

Does Casa Academy offer Kansas-specific practice exam questions?

Not yet. Casa Academy currently provides a free interactive practice set built from Florida pre-licensing topics. It is clearly labeled as a Florida demo so Kansas candidates can build study habits without mistaking it for KREC exam content.
