Kentucky Real Estate Practice Exam

Kentucky sales associate candidates take a general (national) section and a Kentucky state section during one computer-based appointment administered by PSI. The general portion includes 80 scored multiple-choice questions in 150 minutes. The Kentucky state portion includes 50 scored multiple-choice questions in 90 minutes. PSI schedules both sections in one 240-minute appointment. You must achieve at least 75% on the general section and at least 75% on the state section to pass. PSI may include experimental questions that do not count toward your score but do count against your time. Results display on screen when you finish, and PSI prints an unofficial score report at the test center. If you fail either section, PSI provides a practice test report showing strengths and weaknesses by examination type.

PSI publishes separate general and Kentucky state content outlines in Candidate Information Bulletin 2312. Use both outlines when building a study plan because you must pass each section independently at 75%.

• General portion: property ownership, land use controls, valuation, financing, contracts, agency, disclosures, property management, title transfer, practice of real estate, and real estate calculations per PSI's national outline.
• Kentucky state law: KRS Chapter 324 licensing requirements, eligibility, renewal, inactive status, and continuing and post-license education rules.
• Brokerage activities and requirements: broker and sales associate relationships, commissions, advertising, escrow accounts, recordkeeping, and improper conduct (18 items for sales associates).
• Disclosures and agency issues: agency relationships, personal-interest disclosures, condominium seller certificates, and property condition disclosures (8 items).
• KREC commission powers, enforcement, sanctions, and Recovery Fund administration (5 items).
• License law requirements for contracts, property management agreements, and security deposit handling under Kentucky statutes and 201 KAR Chapter 11.

License exams test how Kentucky 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.

• Kentucky Revised Statutes Chapter 324 (real estate brokers and sales associates)
• KREC sales associate licensing requirements
• PSI Kentucky real estate candidate bulletin
• KRS 324.287 commission fees

KREC licenses sales associates after education, examination, FBI background screening, and application review. Confirm current forms and fees on the Commission website before you apply because fee tables can change.

• Be at least 18 years old with a high school diploma, GED, or qualifying college transcript before starting pre-license requirements.
• Complete 96 classroom hours in real estate from a KREC-approved private school, or six academic credit hours in real estate from an accredited college or university.
• Submit fingerprints and obtain an FBI Identification Records Check before scheduling the PSI exam; the report must show no felony charges or convictions and no misdemeanor charges or convictions within the past five years.
• Pass both PSI sections with at least 75% on the general portion and at least 75% on the Kentucky state portion during one appointment or through section-only retakes within four months of the first pass.
• Pay the $100 PSI examination fee at registration (covers one or both portions in a single attempt) plus KREC licensing fees of $130 for an active license or $120 for an inactive license when you submit your application.
• Apply for your sales associate license within 60 days of passing both exam portions, include proof of errors and omissions insurance, and complete post-license education before your first renewal cycle.

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 Kentucky question bank for twelve months from activation. The State + National plan adds the national bank with combined practice, the AI tutor grounded in the Kentucky state manual, and the pass-or-refund guarantee for eligible buyers. Access is English only. Renewal is manual (no automatic billing). A 7-day no-questions-asked refund policy applies to nationwide purchases. Prices and offer feature lists render from the shared catalog on this page. Casa does not sell KREC-approved Kentucky pre-licensing education.

Treat the general and state outlines as separate study plans even though they share one appointment. Drill KRS Chapter 324 brokerage rules, escrow handling, agency disclosure, and KREC Recovery Fund topics until the 50-item state section feels predictable. Pair that with timed national practice on finance, contracts, valuation, and fair housing for the 80-question general portion. Because each section is scored independently at 75%, a strong general score cannot offset a failing state score. If you pass one section but fail the other, retake only the failed section within four months of the first pass, then apply for licensure within 60 days of passing both. Start the free Kentucky practice test on this page for a 10-question readiness snapshot with email-gated review, then continue into unlimited blueprint-matched practice if you purchase Kentucky paid plans.

Apply for your sales associate license within 60 days of passing both exam portions. Include proof of errors and omissions insurance and pay the KREC license fee shown on the current fee schedule. Arrange brokerage affiliation before activating an active license. Keep PSI bulletin 2312 and the KREC sales associate requirements page bookmarked because exam fees, license fees, and eligibility windows can change.
