Arkansas Real Estate Exam Prep
Everything you need to know to prepare for the Arkansas real estate licensing exam
If you're planning to take the Arkansas real estate exam, it helps to know exactly what to expect—how the test works, what topics it covers, and how to study effectively. This guide walks you through everything you need to feel confident on exam day.
What is the Arkansas Real Estate Exam?
The Arkansas real estate licensing exam is administered by Pearson VUE, under the direction of the Arkansas Real Estate Commission (AREC). It consists of two sections for salespersons:
National Portion: 85 multiple-choice questions on general real estate topics like contracts, agency, and property ownership
State Portion: 40 multiple-choice questions specific to Arkansas laws, licensing rules, and regulations
For brokers, the exam is a single 130-question test covering both national and Arkansas-specific content.
You'll take the exam at a Pearson VUE testing center. The total testing time is 4 hours for both salesperson and broker exams.
To pass, you need a scaled score of 70 or higher. Arkansas uses statistical equating to account for differences in exam difficulty, so your score represents performance relative to the passing standard rather than a simple percentage.
You can find detailed testing policies and procedures in the Arkansas Real Estate Candidate Handbook.
