Louisiana licenses salespersons through the Louisiana Real Estate Commission (LREC). Pearson VUE administers one computer-based combination exam: 80 national and 55 Louisiana state scored multiple-choice items in 240 minutes (150 minutes + 90 minutes), with an independent scaled score of 70 on each portion. Pearson VUE lists $81 for the first combination attempt ($96 for repeat combination attempts; confirm handbook #091900 before you schedule).
Louisiana or National for $49, or get both banks plus the AI tutor and Pass Guarantee for $59.

The combined salesperson exam includes 80 scored national items and 55 scored Louisiana state items, with 10 to 15 unscored pretest questions mixed into the full sitting. Pearson VUE allots 240 minutes for the combination exam. You may instead schedule the national portion alone (80 scored items, 150 minutes) or the Louisiana state portion alone (55 scored items, 90 minutes). Each portion uses scaled scores from 0 to 100, and salesperson candidates need a scaled score of at least 70 on both the national and Louisiana state sections independently. If you pass one section and fail the other, retake only the failed portion within your authorization year.
Pearson VUE publishes separate national and Louisiana state content outlines in publications 091900 and 091901. Use both outlines when building a study plan because you must pass each section independently at the scaled 70 threshold.
License exams test how Louisiana 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.
LREC licenses salespersons after education, examination, background screening, and application review. Confirm current forms and fees on the Commission website before you apply because fee tables can change.
If you pass one section but fail the other, retake only the failed portion within your one-year authorization period and pay the applicable Pearson VUE fee again. You cannot retake a section you already passed during that authorization year. If authorization expires before you pass both portions, reapply to LREC for a new authorization. Because each section uses scaled scoring rather than a simple percentage, a strong national score cannot offset a failing Louisiana state score. Block separate study time for Louisiana civil-law vocabulary because Louisiana follows a civil-law property system rather than common-law deed concepts used in most states. Start with the free Louisiana practice test on this page for a readiness snapshot, then continue into unlimited blueprint-matched Louisiana practice if you purchase paid plans.
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 Louisiana question bank for twelve months from activation. The State + National plan adds the national bank with combined practice, the AI tutor grounded in the Louisiana product manual, and the pass-or-refund guarantee for eligible buyers. Access is English only. Renewal is manual (no automatic billing). A 3-day no-questions-asked refund policy applies to nationwide purchases. Prices and offer feature lists render from the shared catalog on this page; do not treat this editorial guide as a price list.

You must be at least 18 with a high school diploma or GED, complete 90 hours of LREC-approved pre-license education (including the 30-hour Louisiana law block), submit your application to LREC, pass both Pearson VUE sections with a scaled score of at least 70 on the national and Louisiana state portions, and secure broker sponsorship plus errors and omissions insurance before LREC issues your license. Complete 45 hours of post-license education within 180 days after your initial license date.
Difficulty depends on preparation and whether you treat the national and Louisiana civil-law sections separately. You must pass both the 80-item national portion and the 55-item Louisiana state portion in one 240-minute sitting or through section-only retakes within your authorization year. Candidates who struggle often under-prepare for Louisiana civil-law concepts such as usufruct, servitudes, and community property even when national finance and contract topics feel familiar.
Pearson VUE reports scaled scores from 0 to 100 for each section, with 70 required to pass on both the national and Louisiana state portions independently. Because equating adjusts raw performance across exam forms, Pearson VUE does not publish a fixed number of questions you can miss. Focus on meeting the scaled 70 threshold on each section rather than counting missed items.
Pearson VUE allows unlimited attempts within your one-year authorization period as long as you register and pay the applicable exam fee each time. If you pass one section but fail the other, retake only the failed portion. You cannot retake a section you already passed during that authorization year. If authorization expires before you pass both portions, reapply to LREC for a new authorization.
The national section covers property ownership, financing, contracts, agency, fair housing, title transfer, and real estate math in Pearson VUE's national outline. The Louisiana state section emphasizes LREC licensing and enforcement rules, brokerage duties for advertising and trust funds, Louisiana civil-law property concepts (immovables, servitudes, usufruct, community property), and Louisiana agency disclosure requirements.
Pearson VUE charges $81 for the first attempt at the combined national and state exam. Repeat combination attempts cost $96. The national portion alone costs $42 and the Louisiana state portion alone costs $39. LREC collects a $45 initial salesperson license fee under R.S. 37:1443 when you submit your license application, separate from Pearson VUE exam fees. Pre-license course tuition, fingerprint processing, and errors and omissions insurance are additional costs.
The embedded practice test selects five questions from the Louisiana exam prep product bank. Answer explanations and the readiness report stay locked until you submit a valid email for that attempt. The short practice test is a readiness snapshot, not a mastery score and not a substitute for full blueprint-matched practice exams.
Every plan includes twelve months of access with unlimited exams, flashcards, adaptive drills, and mastery tools. The State plan covers the Louisiana bank, the National plan covers the national bank, and the State + National plan includes both banks with combined practice, the AI tutor grounded in the Louisiana manual, and the pass-or-refund guarantee for eligible buyers.
