Alaska’s salesperson exam is 120 scored questions in 4 hours — 80 on the national/general portion and 40 on Alaska state law — and you pass with a scaled score of 75. Fail either portion and Alaska makes you retake the entire exam, so both halves have to be ready on the same day. PassProfessor’s Alaska program will give you 19,988 original practice questions mapped to Pearson VUE’s current national and Alaska outlines — 13,309 on the general portion and 6,679 on Alaska law alone — with fresh blueprint-weighted practice exams, topic drills, and per-question analytics. A free sample exam comes with the program at launch.
What’s included
An Alaska bank, not a national bank with an Alaska chapter stapled on. Forty of the 120 scored questions — a full third of your exam — test Alaska law only: the Real Estate Commission’s powers, licensee relationships and disclosures under AS 08.88, trust-account rules, and the Alaska Landlord and Tenant Act. Our bank holds 6,679 questions on the Alaska state-law portion alone, so the third of the exam that national products cover thinnest is the part you can drill deepest here.
Practice exams built like the real blueprint, drawn fresh every time. Each full practice exam is generated for that attempt — 80 general questions and 40 Alaska-law questions in the real proportions, with the general areas weighted the way the official outline weights them (contracts and agency carries the most, at 16 of 80). Questions you have not seen come first, and you never sit the same exam twice.
Drills that match how the exam is built. Drill a single outline area — Alaska licensee duties and disclosures, real estate math, property management under the Landlord and Tenant Act — or sit the full 120-question simulation against the 4-hour clock. Your results break down by outline area, so a weak area shows up in your practice data before it shows up on a score report.
Per-question analytics that keep the bank honest. Every item in the program is monitored from real student responses once the program opens. Questions students find suspiciously easy or suspiciously hard are pulled for review, and anything found wrong is fixed or retired — the bank you practice on is the bank as it should be, not as it shipped.
The real exam at a glance
Current as of October 2026, per the Alaska Real Estate Commission and the Pearson VUE Alaska Real Estate Candidate Handbook (publication #092200, July 2026). Full detail — eligibility, registration, retakes, test day — is in our Alaska real estate exam guide.
| Alaska salesperson exam | |
|---|---|
| Administered by | Pearson VUE, for the Alaska Real Estate Commission |
| Scored questions | 120 (80 national/general + 40 Alaska state law) |
| Unscored pretest questions mixed in | 5–10 (the outlines describe 5 on the general portion and 5–10 on the state portion; you cannot tell which they are) |
| Time limit | 4 hours (240 minutes) for the whole exam |
| Passing standard | Scaled score of 75 (on a 0–100 scale) |
| Exam fee | $100, per the Commission’s exam information page — see the fee note below |
- One sitting, one clock. Alaska does not split the exam into separately timed sittings in the way some states do: you get 4 hours for everything on screen, including the pretest questions you cannot identify.
- A scaled score of 75 is not 75%. Pearson VUE converts results to a 0–100 scaled score so different exam forms demand the same knowledge. Plan to practice comfortably above the line, not on it.
- Failing costs you the whole exam. Under Pearson VUE’s Alaska retake rules, a candidate who does not pass must retake the entire exam — there is no saving a passed portion. You may retake after 24 hours if seats are available, and the exam fee applies to each attempt.
- Where and how often: the Commission lists the exam as administered electronically, offered weekly in Anchorage, semi-monthly in Fairbanks, and quarterly in Juneau; it may be provided at other locations on individual request for an additional $50 fee.
- Fee note — read this before you budget. The Alaska Real Estate Commission’s exam information page lists the exam fee as $100. The current Pearson VUE candidate handbook, however, lists $115 in its main exam-reservation section (its quick-reference page says $100). The official sources disagree with each other, so confirm the exact amount Pearson VUE charges when you make your reservation.
- Before you can be licensed, you complete 40 hours of approved pre-licensing education, pass the exam, and apply for licensure within six months of passing. This program is exam preparation only — it is not pre-licensing education and provides no education credit.
How the practice maps to the real exam
Every question in the Alaska bank is tagged to an area of Pearson VUE’s current content outlines — the national/general outline (effective April 1, 2025) and the Alaska Real Estate Law outline (#092202, effective September 14, 2023) — the same outlines the real exam is built from. Counts below are the bank itself, counted question by question.
| Official outline area (scored questions on the real exam) | Practice questions |
|---|---|
| National/general portion | |
| Real property characteristics, legal descriptions, and property use (11) | 1,805 |
| Forms of ownership, transfer, and recording of title (9) | 1,506 |
| Property value and appraisal (11) | 1,825 |
| Real estate contracts and agency (16) | 2,669 |
| Real estate practice (10) | 1,698 |
| Property disclosures and environmental issues (9) | 1,487 |
| Financing and settlement (7) | 1,151 |
| Real estate math calculations (7) | 1,168 |
| National/general subtotal (80) | 13,309 |

How to use it
- Join the notify list today. When enrollment opens, start with the free sample exam — a fixed set of Alaska questions across both portions, enough to see how the program works and where you stand.
- Drill the Alaska-law areas early and often. They are 40 of 120 scored questions and the most concrete material on the exam — Commission powers, licensing rules, disclosure duties, trust money, landlord-tenant deadlines. Most candidates leave state law for last; because Alaska makes you retake the whole exam after a miss, a weak state portion is the most expensive weakness you can carry in.
- Drill by outline area. Work your weakest general areas (contracts and agency alone carries 16 of the 80 general questions) until the misses stop repeating, and keep the state-law drills in rotation the whole time.
- Sit full generated exams against the clock. 120 scored questions in 4 hours is two minutes per question on average, with pretest items mixed in. Practice the pace, not just the material — and practice both portions in one sitting, the way the real exam demands them.
- Book the real exam through Pearson VUE when your practice scores sit comfortably above passing on full simulations of both portions — then apply for your license within six months of passing.

Frequently asked questions
How many questions are on the Alaska real estate exam? The salesperson exam has 120 scored questions: 80 on the national/general portion and 40 on Alaska state law. Each portion also mixes in unscored pretest questions — the official outlines describe 5 on the general portion and 5 to 10 on the state portion — that do not affect your result and cannot be identified. Treat every question as if it counts.
What score do I need to pass the Alaska real estate exam? A scaled score of 75. Pearson VUE reports Alaska results on a 0–100 scale and adjusts across exam forms so every version demands the same level of knowledge, which means a scaled 75 is not the same thing as answering 75% of the questions correctly. The only score that matters is the one on your official score report.
Who administers the Alaska real estate exam? Pearson VUE administers the exam for the Alaska Real Estate Commission. The Commission establishes the exam’s content; Pearson VUE prepares, administers, and grades it. You reserve your appointment through Pearson VUE’s Alaska real estate page or its call center, and test at a Pearson VUE test center.
How much does the Alaska real estate exam cost? Here the official sources disagree, and you should know that before you budget. The Alaska Real Estate Commission’s exam information page lists the fee as $100; the current Pearson VUE candidate handbook lists $115 in its main reservation section (and $100 on its quick-reference page). Confirm the amount Pearson VUE charges when you reserve. Testing at a non-standard location arranged on individual request carries an additional $50 fee, per the Commission.
What do I need before I can get an Alaska salesperson license? Under AS 08.88.171 and the Commission’s salesperson requirements, you must be at least 19 years old, complete 40 classroom hours of approved pre-licensing education, pass the exam, work for a licensed broker, carry errors and omissions insurance, and apply for licensure within six months of passing. You must not be under indictment for a felony or another disqualifying crime.
If I fail, do I retake only the part I missed? No — and this Alaska rule surprises people. Pearson VUE’s Alaska retake policy requires candidates who do not pass to retake the entire exam, both portions. You may retake after 24 hours if seats are available, and the exam fee applies to each attempt. That is why this program trains both portions to readiness at the same time.
How long are my passing scores good for? Six months. Alaska requires you to apply for licensure within six months after passing the exam, so have your application, broker affiliation, and errors and omissions insurance ready to move as soon as you pass.
Does this program count toward my 40 hours of pre-licensing education? No. PassProfessor is exam preparation only. It does not provide pre-licensing education credit and is not a substitute for the 40 hours of Commission-approved pre-licensing education, which you complete with an approved school.
Are these the actual exam questions? No. Every PassProfessor question is written by us, from scratch, to Pearson VUE’s published Alaska content outlines and Alaska law. We never use real exam questions, recalled questions, or another provider’s bank — and using actual exam content would violate the candidate rules you agree to when you test.
Why does the Alaska-law part get so much of the bank? Because it is 40 of the 120 scored questions — a third of the exam — and it exists nowhere else. Alaska tests its own institutions and its own numbers: the Commission’s disciplinary powers and recovery fund, the designated- and neutral-licensee relationship system, trust-account deposit deadlines, and Landlord and Tenant Act notice periods. Our bank holds 6,679 Alaska-law questions so that portion can be drilled on its own until it is a strength.
When can I enroll in the Alaska program? Soon — the question bank is complete and the program is in final preparation. Join the notify list on this page and we will email you the day enrollment opens, with the launch pricing.
