Exam Day Strategies

What to Bring/Needed for Exam

On the day of your Exam, ensure you arrive fully prepared with the following required items:

  • Primary ID (photograph and signature, not expired): This could be a government-issued driver’s license, a U.S. Dept. of State driver’s license, passport, military ID, or Alien Registration Card. The primary ID must include a photograph and signature.
  • Secondary ID (signature, not expired): This includes a U.S. Social Security card, debit or credit card, or any other form of ID from the primary list.

Remember, both IDs must match the name on your registration, and they must be current — Pearson VUE does not recognize grace periods for expired IDs.

Exam Procedures at Physical Test Location

Arrive at the test center 30 minutes early to check in. You will be required to sign a Candidate Rules Agreement form, and any violations of this agreement or suspected cheating will lead to exam disqualification and forfeiture of your exam fee. You’ll also have the chance to take a tutorial on the exam computer, which does not count against your exam time. This tutorial is highly recommended to familiarize yourself with the exam interface.

On the Day Tips

  • Review Identification Requirements: Double-check that your IDs are valid and meet the requirements described above to avoid any last-minute issues.
  • Manage Time Effectively: Be aware of the number of questions and the total time allotted. Remember, the Salesperson exam includes 80 general portion questions with 150 minutes allowed, and 40 questions for the State portion with 90 minutes allowed for (240 minutes total).
  • Use the Provided Tutorial: The tutorial before the exam is crucial for understanding how to navigate the testing software, especially how to use the built-in calculator for applicable sections.

What is the Passing Rate for the Pearson Vue Real Estate Salesperson Exam?

The Pearson Vue Real Estate Salesperson Exam has a passing rate of 75%. With proper study and preparation, most candidates can pass and get their license.

After the exam, you’ll see your results immediately. If you fail, you’ll receive a diagnostic report showing how many questions you missed in each category, helping you focus on weak areas for your next attempt. The state and the national portions of the test are graded individually so you only need to retake the portion that you failed.
