Enrollment open: 19,963 original questions, written to Pearson VUE’s current Arizona content outlines. Enroll today and start with free sample questions.
Arizona licenses salespersons through two separate exams given by Pearson VUE for the Arizona Department of Real Estate (ADRE): the General exam, with 80 scored questions on national real estate principles, and the State exam, with 60 scored questions on Arizona law — and you must reach 75% on each one. PassProfessor’s Arizona program gives you 19,963 original practice questions mapped to those same outlines, including 8,534 questions on Arizona-specific material alone, with full practice exams generated fresh at the real exams’ weights every time you sit one and free sample questions.
What’s included
An Arizona bank, not a national bank with an Arizona chapter. The State exam is 60 of your 140 scored questions — 43% of the licensing decision — and every one of them is Arizona-only: the Department and the Recovery Fund, Arizona agency and advertising rules, Arizona contracts, escrow and title practice, anti-deficiency law. Our bank holds 19,963 questions, and 8,534 of them test Arizona-specific material. That exam is the part national courses cover most lightly, and it is where this program is deepest relative to the exam itself.
Practice exams at the real exams’ weights. Each full practice exam is generated fresh for that attempt, in the shape of the exam it simulates: a General simulation drawn across the eight national outline areas in their official proportions (Real Estate Contracts and Agency carries the most, at 16 of 80 scored questions), and a State simulation drawn across the eleven Arizona areas in theirs (Contracts carries the most, at 8 of 60). Questions you have not seen come first, and you never sit the same exam twice.
Drills that match how the exams are built. Drill a single outline area — Arizona Agency, Financing and Settlement, Real Estate Math Calculations, Foreclosure and the anti-deficiency statute — or sit a full timed simulation of either exam: 150 minutes for the General, 90 minutes for the State. Your results break down by outline area and by exam, so a weak area shows up in your practice data before it shows up on a score report.
Per-question analytics that find the pattern. Every attempt is recorded question by question, and your results roll up by topic and by exam. Instead of a single blended practice percentage, you see exactly which outline areas are producing your misses — General or State — and can spend the next study session there instead of re-reading what you already know. That separation matters in Arizona, because the two exams are passed separately and a strong General result cannot cover a weak State result.
Questions that stay honest. Every item in the program is monitored from real student responses. 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 Arizona Department of Real Estate and the official candidate handbook (the Pearson VUE Arizona Real Estate Candidate Handbook, February 2026, publication #090300) and the Pearson VUE Arizona Real Estate Content Outlines (publication #090301, 01/2026). Full detail — eligibility, registration, fingerprints, retakes, test day — is in our Arizona real estate exam guide.

- Arizona runs two exams, not one combined test. Since January 1, 2026, the salesperson licensing examinations are the General exam and the State exam: separately scheduled, separately timed, and separately scored. A combo discount applies when you schedule the two back to back — $75 total instead of $70 + $60 booked separately. Older guides that describe a single 180-question Arizona exam are describing the retired format.
- You must finish your pre-licensing education before you can test. The gate is the 90-hour salesperson pre-licensing course at an ADRE-approved school, passed with the school’s final examination; your education certificate is a required item at the test center. A separate 6-hour Arizona Contract Writing Course is also required — not before the exam, but before your license can issue. This program is exam preparation only; it is neither course and provides no education credit.
- Each exam stands on its own 75%. Pearson reports your result as a percent score — the percentage of questions answered correctly — and the handbook’s standard is 75% on the examination. Because the General and State examinations are separate examinations, each has to reach that standard on its own; there is no combined or averaged score to hide behind.
- The fingerprint step runs through DPS, not ADRE. A valid Level 1 Non-IVP Arizona Fingerprint Clearance Card, issued by the Arizona Department of Public Safety, is required at the time of license application. Start it early — it is the one step whose timing you do not control.
- Your passing scores have a deadline. You must apply for your license within one year of passing the examination (A.R.S. §32-2125.01). Miss that window and the examination must be retaken.
- Both exams are taken at Pearson authorized test centers in Arizona. There are no walk-in appointments; reservations are made at least 24 hours ahead, online or by phone.
How the practice maps to the real exam
Every question in the Arizona bank is tagged to an area of Pearson VUE’s current content outlines — the National/General outline (effective April 1, 2025) and the Arizona salesperson state outline (effective January 1, 2026) — the same outlines the real exams are built from. Counts below are the bank itself, counted question by question from the delivered workbook.
| Official outline area (scored questions on the real exam) | Practice questions |
|---|---|
| General exam — national content | |
| I. Real Property Characteristics, Legal Descriptions, and Property Use (11) | 1,571 |
| II. Forms of Ownership, Transfer, and Recording of Title (9) | 1,286 |
| III. Property Value and Appraisal (11) | 1,571 |
| IV. Real Estate Contracts and Agency (16) | 2,286 |
| V. Real Estate Practice (10) | 1,429 |
| VI. Property Disclosures and Environmental Issues (9) | 1,286 |
| VII. Financing and Settlement (7) | 1,000 |

How to use it
- Start with free sample questions — a fixed set of Arizona questions drawn from both exams, General and State — enough to see how the program works and where you stand on each.
- Take a readiness reading for each exam separately. Do not average them. A combined score can look comfortable while one exam sits below 75%, and ADRE will not average them either.
- Drill the Arizona State areas early. They are 60 of your 140 scored questions and the most concrete material tested: the Department’s powers and the Recovery Fund, the Consumer Fraud Act and homestead law, advertising supervision, dual-agency rules, AAR contract practice, escrow and title, the anti-deficiency statute. Most candidates leave Arizona law for last; the score report is where that shows.
- Drill by outline area. Work your weakest areas — Real Estate Contracts and Agency is the single largest General area at 16 questions, and Contracts is the largest State area at 8 — until the misses stop repeating.
- Sit full generated simulations against the real clocks. 85 General questions in 150 minutes and 65 State questions in 90 minutes, pretest items included and unidentified, is a pacing exercise as much as a knowledge test. Practice the pace, not just the material.
- Book the real exams through Pearson VUE when your practice results sit comfortably above 75% on full simulations of each exam — scheduling them back to back also captures the $75 combo price — and keep the one-year application window and the 6-hour Contract Writing Course in view for the steps that follow.
Pricing
The Arizona program is $49 for full access to all 19,963 questions. The full program includes all 19,963 questions, unlimited fresh blueprint-weighted practice exams for both the General and State examinations, outline-area drills, and per-question analytics. If it isn’t for you, our standard refund terms give you 14 days provided you have attempted less than 20% of the program (see the site Terms for the full policy).
Verified questions
Every question in this program is original — written for PassProfessor from the official exam blueprint, never copied from a test bank or another provider’s materials. Before enrollment opened, each answer key was independently verified: reviewers re-answered sampled questions blind, disagreements were settled against the primary sources, and every numeric answer was recomputed from first principles. Questions whose facts could not be confirmed were removed, and the bank passed a text-overlap screen. Practice exams draw a fresh, blueprint-weighted set from the full bank on every attempt, so no two practice exams are the same.
Frequently asked questions
How many questions are on the Arizona real estate exam? Arizona salesperson candidates take two examinations. The General exam has 80 scored questions plus 5 unscored pretest questions (85 on screen) in 150 minutes; the State exam has 60 scored questions plus 5 unscored pretest questions (65 on screen) in 90 minutes. That is 140 scored questions across the two exams. Pretest questions are not identified and do not affect your score, so treat every question as if it counts.
Is the Arizona exam one test or two? Two. Since January 1, 2026, Pearson VUE administers the salesperson examinations as a General exam (national content) and a State exam (Arizona-specific content), separately scheduled, timed, and scored. Study materials that describe a single combined 180-question exam reflect the format Arizona retired at the end of 2025.
What score do I need to pass the Arizona real estate exam? 75% — per the Pearson VUE candidate handbook, you need to answer 75% of the questions correctly to pass the examination, and your score is reported as a percent score: the percentage of questions you answered correctly. Because the General and State examinations are separate examinations, the standard applies to each one; a strong result on one does not offset a shortfall on the other.
How much do the Arizona real estate exams cost? Per the candidate handbook’s fee table, the General exam is $70 and the State exam is $60, paid to Pearson when you reserve — and a combo discount of $75 applies when you schedule the two exams back to back. The fee for each retake is the same as the initial examination fee. Exam fees are separate from the license fee you pay ADRE after you pass, which is set by ADRE’s current fee schedule.
What do I need before I can take the exam? You must complete the 90-hour salesperson pre-licensing course at an ADRE-approved school and pass the school’s final examination — before testing, candidates must complete all pre-licensing education, and you bring your pre-licensure education certificate to the test center. To be licensed you must also be at least 18 when you apply, show proof of legal presence in the United States, hold a valid Level 1 Non-IVP Fingerprint Clearance Card from the Arizona Department of Public Safety, and complete the 6-hour Arizona Contract Writing Course before licensure.
Does this program count toward my 90 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 90-hour ADRE-approved pre-licensing course or the 6-hour Contract Writing Course. You complete the required education with an approved school; this program prepares you for the examinations that follow it.
Do I need the Contract Writing Course before the exam? No — the handbook places the 6-hour Arizona Contract Writing Course before licensure, not before testing. You need it completed, with its certificate in your application package, before ADRE issues your license. Many candidates take it while they prepare for the State exam, because Arizona contract practice is itself tested there — Contracts is the largest State outline area, at 8 of 60 scored questions.
If I fail, how soon can I retake the Arizona exam? You must wait 24 hours after taking an examination before making a reservation to retake it, and re-examination reservations cannot be made at the test center — you rebook through Pearson, and the retake costs the same as the initial examination. One Arizona-specific help exists: after a second failed attempt, salesperson candidates may schedule a one-time Exam Playback — a 30-minute review of the questions answered incorrectly — which must be scheduled within 14 days of that failure and completed before the next attempt.
How long are my passing scores good for? One year. You must apply for your license within one year of passing the examination (A.R.S. §32-2125.01); the handbook and ADRE’s application form state the consequence identically — miss the window and the examination must be retaken. Your 90 hours of education also carry a clock: the course must have been completed no more than ten years before your license application.
Are these the actual exam questions? No. Every PassProfessor question is written by us, from scratch, to Pearson VUE’s published Arizona content outlines and Arizona 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 Arizona State exam get so much of the bank? Because it is 60 of the 140 scored questions — nearly half the licensing decision — it is passed on its own 75% standard, and none of its content appears on the General exam. Arizona tests its own institutions and statutes: ADRE and the Real Estate Recovery Fund, the 1967 Consumer Fraud Act, homestead law, advertising and agency rules, AAR contract forms and closing practice, the deed-of-trust foreclosure process and the anti-deficiency statute. Our bank holds 8,534 Arizona-specific questions so that exam can be drilled on its own until it is the easiest part of your path.
How do I enroll in the Arizona program? Enrollment is open. Enroll on this page for $49 and you get immediate access to the full program — all 19,963 questions, the outline-area drills for both examinations, and the generated practice exams — starting with free sample questions if you want to look around first.
