Florida Real Estate Exam Guide

Because the exam is exactly 100 items, each point is one question, so 75 points means 75 correct answers. Pearson VUE only schedules, administers, scores and reports the exam. Its own practice tests state that they contain no Florida-specific content, and its national outline does not apply here.

In 2020 Florida approved at-home exams, and that coverage is still online. Pearson VUE's current Florida page says all candidates must test in a physical center. can you take the real estate exam online covers the other states.

DBPR publishes a share for each area, and on a 100-item exam each percent is one question. The five largest areas are 49 of the 100 questions. License law, agency, brokerage procedures and violations (areas II to VI) add up to 30.

The exam covers Chapter 475 Part I of the Florida Statutes and Chapter 61J2 of the Florida Administrative Code, alongside general real estate subjects.

These are one month's figures from the Florida Real Estate Commission (FREC), and they move a little: its January 2026 report showed 47% first-time, 30% repeat and 38% overall. Repeat takers pass at a lower rate than first-time takers in both reports, so aim to score clearly above 75 in practice before you book. how hard is the real estate exam compares other states.

Florida is an apply-first state, so the application comes before the exam. You cannot reserve a seat until the Division of Real Estate approves you and Pearson VUE sends your authorization letter.

1. Be at least 18 and hold a high school diploma or its equivalent.
2. Complete the 63-hour FREC prelicensing course. It stays valid for 2 years.
3. Submit the application, electronic fingerprints and fee. DBPR quotes 3 to 4 weeks for processing, and up to 90 days if the application goes to the commission.
4. Book with Pearson VUE, online or by phone, up to one calendar day before you want to test, subject to availability.

The application expires 2 years after DBPR receives it if you have not passed by then. To cancel or reschedule without penalty, do it two full calendar days ahead: for a Monday exam, that means by midnight the Friday before.

• Your Certificate of Prelicensing Education Completion, at every attempt. You are refused admission without it.
• Two forms of current signature ID. The primary one must be government-issued with a photo.
• A calculator that meets the rules above, if you want one.
• A foreign-language translation dictionary is allowed if it has word-for-word or phrase translations only: one per candidate, approved by center staff first. Electronic ones are effectively refused.

Confirm the exam fee when you book. The 2017 fact sheet is the only official document we found that prints it, and the current candidate booklet mentions a past increase without giving an amount.

You retake the whole exam, because there are no portions to carry over. The 2017 Pearson VUE fact sheet states a 24-hour wait before rebooking and the fee applies again. DBPR states no limit on attempts, and we found none in statute or rule. Bring your course certificate again.

You can ask to review the questions you got wrong, within 21 days, at a Pearson VUE center. Plan that before you rebook. To schedule a retake within 21 days of a review, you must call customer service for an override, and if one is applied your review comments are no longer eligible for formal review by DBPR's subject matter experts. Outside those 21 days you can book the retake online yourself. real estate exam retake rules has the rules for other states.

Your license is issued inactive. A Florida sales associate works under a broker registered as their employer, so you activate it with that broker.

The deadline that matters comes next: 45 classroom hours of post-licensing education before your first renewal, which falls 18 to 24 months after licensure. Miss it and the license is null and void, and you have to repeat the prelicensing course and pass this exam again. After that, DBPR requires 14 hours of continuing education each renewal period. passed my real estate exam compares the steps in other states.
