Maine licenses sales agents through the Maine Real Estate Commission (OPOL). Pearson VUE administers one computer-based Sales Agent exam: 80 general practice and 40 Maine Law scored multiple-choice items in one appointment (2.5 hours + 1.5 hours), with an independent scaled score of 75 on each portion. Pearson VUE lists an $88 Sales Agent examination fee; confirm handbook #092000 before you schedule.
National practice for $79, or starter for $49 (30 days). State-specific exam prep is not available for this jurisdiction yet.

“Full exam sims with the same question count as PSI made exam day feel boring in a good way. Passed both portions same sitting.”
“Went from 62% on the free diagnostic to 84% in three weeks. The ChatGPT tutor walked me through every miss before my Pearson VUE sitting.”
“Casa readiness score sat at 71 the week I booked PSI. Two full practice exams later I walked out passing on the first try.”
Maine sales agent candidates take a general practice portion and a Maine Law portion during one computer-based appointment administered by Pearson VUE. The general portion includes 80 scored multiple-choice questions in 2.5 hours. The Maine Law portion includes 40 scored multiple-choice questions in 1.5 hours. Pearson VUE may include five unscored pretest items on the general portion and five to fifteen pretest items on the Maine Law portion; they are not identified and do not affect your score. You receive an official score report marked Pass or Fail when you finish. Maine uses scaled scoring on a 0 to 100 scale with a passing score of 75 on each part. A scaled 75 is not the same as answering 75% of questions correctly; Pearson VUE equates forms so harder versions do not require more correct answers than easier versions.
Pearson VUE publishes the Sales Agent content outline in candidate handbook 092000. Use both the general and Maine Law outlines when building a study plan because you must pass each part independently at the scaled 75 threshold.
License exams test how Maine 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.
The Maine Real Estate Commission licenses sales agents after education, examination, and application review. Confirm current forms and fees on OPOL pages before you apply because fee tables can change.
Sales agent candidates may retake the Sales Agent exam multiple times before their Course Completion Certificate expires, but you must schedule to retake the full Sales Agent exam even if you fail only one portion. Wait at least 48 hours before making a reexamination reservation. After passing both portions, submit your license application to the Commission within one calendar year of the date you pass the entire exam, including your Pearson VUE score report and an original transcript from The Sales Agent Course showing at least a 75% final grade. Maine issues the sales agent license for two years; it is not renewable, so plan your Associate Broker upgrade before expiration. Because each part uses an independently scaled 75 threshold, strong general performance cannot offset a failing Maine Law score. Weight timed practice toward shoreland zoning, trust accounts, brokerage relationship disclosures, and Maine-specific property condition rules for the 40-item law block, then review national finance, contracts, and fair housing for the 80-item general block. When you want interactive reps today, use Casa Academy's free national practice test on this hub; it covers shared general topics only and does not cover Maine Law items.
Study these official statute, rule, and regulator sources for this jurisdiction. Confirm current text before exam day.
You must be at least 18 with a high school diploma or equivalent, complete The Sales Agent Course from a Commission-approved school with at least a 75% final grade, pass both Pearson VUE exam portions with a scaled score of at least 75 on the general practice and Maine Law sections within one year of your course completion date, and submit your license application online within one year of passing the entire exam. Include $121 payable to Maine State Treasurer ($100 application plus $21 criminal records check), your original course completion certificate, and original Pearson VUE score report. You must affiliate with a licensed Maine real estate agency before performing brokerage services.
Difficulty depends on preparation and whether you treat the general and Maine Law sections separately. You must pass both the 80-item general portion and the 40-item Maine Law portion in one appointment, each with a scaled score of at least 75. Candidates who struggle often under-prepare for Maine land-use rules, trust accounts, and Real Estate Brokerage Relationships disclosures even when national finance and contract topics feel familiar.
Pearson VUE reports scaled scores from 0 to 100 for each section, with 75 required to pass on both the general practice and Maine Law 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 75 threshold on each section rather than counting missed items.
You may retake the Sales Agent exam multiple times before your Course Completion Certificate expires, waiting at least 48 hours between reservation attempts. Maine requires you to schedule the full Sales Agent exam even when only one portion fails; section-only retakes are not available. You must pass both portions within one year of the course completion date on your certificate and apply for your license within one year of passing the entire exam.
The general section covers property ownership, financing, contracts, agency, fair housing, title transfer, and real estate math in Pearson VUE's national salesperson outline. The Maine Law section emphasizes licensee activity rules and trust accounts, agency and brokerage law, Maine-specific property disclosures, shoreland zoning and subdivisions, commission powers, the Maine Landlord-Tenant Act, and condominium law.
Not yet. Casa does not currently offer a Maine-specific question bank. The free practice test and paid plans plans on this page use national exam prep questions only. National practice covers the shared general portion and does not cover the Maine state-law section. Use the official citations above for Maine law topics while you wait for a state product.
Pearson VUE charges $88 for the Sales Agent examination fee (confirm in handbook 092000 before scheduling). The Maine Real Estate Commission collects $121 when you submit your license application ($100 application fee plus $21 criminal records check fee payable to Maine State Treasurer). Pre-licensing course tuition, travel to Westbrook or Bangor test centers, and optional printed certificates are separate charges.
