Real Estate Exam Simulator

Have a test date? Take this first. 100 questions, 3 hours 5 minutes on the clock, and no answer until the end. This is the one page on the site that does not help you while you work, because that is the only way to find out what you actually know under time. The clock starts when you answer question 1.

Full-length simulation

Take the full test. Answers and explanations are shown when you submit, as on exam day.

The clock starts when you answer question 1, and it does not stop.

Contracts

A buyer's contract made closing contingent on the buyer obtaining a zoning variance for a home office. The buyer never applied for the variance and then demanded a refund of the deposit. The seller's strongest response is that:

answered 0/10

This simulator is a study aid, not the real exam. Our questions are written by us to match the published content outline. They are not actual exam questions, no score here predicts a pass, and this site is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by PSI, Pearson VUE, ARELLO, any state real estate commission, or any government agency. Your state commission and your candidate handbook are the only authoritative sources.

How a simulation differs from a topic quiz

Every other practice surface on this site is a drill. You answer, you are told immediately whether you were right, you read the explanation, and you carry that forward. That is the correct way to learn a content area and a terrible way to predict a score, because the feedback quietly does some of the work for you.

A simulation withholds all of it. Four differences, and each one is there for a reason:

Topic quiz	This simulation	Why
Marks each answer as you go	No feedback until you finish	Knowing question 4 was wrong changes how you read question 5. The real exam never tells you.
Untimed	3 hours 5 minutes, running down	Pace is a skill of its own, and it is the one most candidates have never rehearsed.
One content area	All 11 areas, weighted	Switching topic every few questions is harder than working a block, and the real paper switches constantly.
Retake freely, any time	One pass, scored at the end	A score you can retry until it looks good is not a measurement.

When the clock reaches zero the run ends where it is, and every question you did not reach counts as wrong. That is exactly what happens at the test center, and it is the reason a simulation score is usually lower than a drill score. A drop of ten points between the two is normal and is information, not a setback.

Where the 3 hours 5 minutes comes from

No test provider publishes a time limit for a 100-question national-only paper, because no such paper exists: real allowances cover the national and state portions together. So we derived one rather than picking a round number.

Across the 46 states where we have verified both a total question count and a time limit against the candidate handbook, the median allowance works out at 1.85 minutes per question. Multiplied by 100 questions that is 185 minutes, or 3 hours 5 minutes, which is roughly 111 seconds a question.

Pace	Where	Questions	Minutes	Per question
Tightest verified	Maryland	110	120	1.09 min
Median of 46 states	Derived	100	185	1.85 min
Most generous verified	New Jersey	110	240	2.18 min

The spread is wider than most people expect. A candidate in Maryland gets 1.09 minutes a question; a candidate in New Jersey gets 2.18 minutes, close to double. If you are sitting at the tight end of that range, the honest way to rehearse is to finish this run comfortably inside the allowance rather than to use all of it.

This allowance is ours, not a published standard. It is a median computed from 46handbooks, and it is a reasonable rehearsal pace, not the time you will be given. Your own state page carries that state's real limit, read off its own handbook.

What the 100 questions are made of

The paper is stratified across the 11 published content areas rather than sampled at random, so the mix mirrors the real exam. At 100questions the arithmetic is unusually clean: each area's share of the exam is also its number of questions.

Content area	Share of the exam	Questions in the full test
Contracts	19%	19
Agency	13%	13
Practice of real estate	12%	12
Property ownership	10%	10
Financing	10%	10
Valuation	8%	8
Property disclosures	7%	7
Real estate math (calculations)	7%	7
Transfer of title	6%	6
Land use controls	5%	5
Property management	3%	3
Total	100%	10

Weightings come directly from the test provider’s published examination content outline for the national portion of the salesperson exam. PSI publishes percentages only; Pearson VUE publishes scored-item counts only. PSI and Pearson VUE use different content taxonomies, so their weightings are not interchangeable and should not be averaged. Check which provider administers your state’s exam, and confirm against the current candidate handbook before you study. Outlines are revised periodically and older versions stay in circulation online. View the PSI outline.

One thing this run is not: a state exam. It draws from the national pool only, so nothing in it tests your own state's license law, agency disclosure forms or trust account rules. In a state that runs a 80-item national portion plus a state portion, this simulation rehearses a little over half your sitting.

How to get something out of a run

Sit it the way you will sit the real one. Phone away, notes away, one uninterrupted block, and no pausing to look something up. A simulation you interrupt is a drill with extra steps, and it will flatter you.

Once a week is plenty. The score moves slowly and the question pool is finite. Between runs, drill the areas the last run exposed.
Track the clock at question 25, 50 and 75. You should be a quarter, a half and three quarters of the way through the allowance. Falling behind early is the most common way people lose marks they knew.
Do not skip the arithmetic. Real estate math is only 7% of the paper, but it is the area where time disappears fastest and where guessing pays worst.
Read your weak areas off the result, not off feel. The score screen names the content areas you missed. That list is your next week of study.

There is no answer key printed on this page, and that is deliberate. Every other quiz on the site publishes its answers and explanations underneath, which is what makes them useful for learning. Publishing 100 answers directly under a mock exam would make this page useless for the one job it has. When the run tells you which areas were weak, the topic quizzes below carry the same class of question with a full explanation on every one.

Where to go next

A simulation tells you where you stand. It does not teach. These do.
