Kansas licenses salespeople through two separately scored exam portions given by Pearson VUE for the Kansas Real Estate Commission: a general portion of 80 scored questions in 2.5 hours and a Kansas portion of 30 scored questions in 1.5 hours, each requiring a scaled score of 70. PassProfessor’s Kansas program will give you 19,988 original practice questions mapped portion by portion and topic by topic to those same outlines — 14,579 on the general material and 5,409 on Kansas law — with fresh blueprint-weighted practice exams, topic drills, and per-question analytics. A free sample exam will be available when enrollment opens.
What’s included
A Kansas bank, not a national bank with a Kansas chapter. The Kansas portion is 30 of the 110 scored questions on the salesperson exam, and it tests material that exists only in Kansas: the Brokerage Relationships in Real Estate Transactions Act (BRRETA), the prohibited acts in Kansas license law, Commission powers, and Kansas licensing rules. Our bank holds 5,409 Kansas-portion questions — including 1,985 on BRRETA alone, the single largest area on the Kansas outline at 11 of 30 scored questions — so the state portion can be drilled on its own until it stops being the risky half of your exam day.
Practice exams at the real exam’s weights. Each full practice exam is generated fresh for that attempt, in the real exam’s proportions — 80 general questions and 30 Kansas questions — with the topic areas weighted the way the official outlines weight them (Real Estate Contracts and Agency carries 16 of the 80 general questions; BRRETA carries 11 of the 30 Kansas questions). 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 — Prohibited Acts, real estate math, financing and settlement — or sit a full timed simulation of one portion or both. Your results break down by outline area, so a weak topic 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 flagged 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 Kansas Real Estate Commission and the Pearson VUE Kansas Real Estate Candidate Handbook (publication #091700, April 2025). Full detail — eligibility, registration, fingerprints, retakes, test day — is in our Kansas real estate exam guide.
| General portion | Kansas portion | |
|---|---|---|
| Scored questions | 80 | 30 |
| Unscored pretest questions mixed in | 5 | 10 |
| Time limit | 2.5 hours (150 minutes) | 1.5 hours (90 minutes) |
| Passing standard | Scaled score of 70 | Scaled score of 70 |
| Exam fee | $70 | $70 |
- The exam is administered by Pearson VUE for the Kansas Real Estate Commission (KREC) at Pearson VUE test centers. There are no walk-in exams; reservations are made at least 24 hours ahead.
- The two portions are scored separately, and you must reach the passing standard on each one. If you pass one portion and fail the other, you retake only the portion you failed.
- Scheduling both portions for the same day costs $70 total — the handbook’s fee table lists the salesperson combination exam at $70, the same as a single portion booked on its own. Both portions must be selected before checkout for the combination price to apply.
- A scaled score is not a percentage. Pearson VUE converts raw results to a 0–100 scale to equalize different exam forms, and 70 is the Commission’s passing point on that scale. The scaled score you receive is neither the number nor the percentage of questions you answered correctly.
- Before you can test, you complete the pre-licensure steps through KREC — including the 30-hour Principles of Real Estate course — and receive an authorization to test. 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 Kansas bank is tagged to an area of Pearson VUE’s current content outlines — the national/general outline (effective April 24, 2025) and the Kansas state outline (effective June 11, 2024) — the same outlines the real exam is 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 portion | |
| I. Real Property Characteristics, Legal Descriptions, and Property Use (11) | 2,007 |
| II. Forms of Ownership, Transfer, and Recording of Title (9) | 1,634 |
| III. Property Value and Appraisal (11) | 2,003 |
| IV. Real Estate Contracts and Agency (16) | 2,923 |
| V. Real Estate Practice (10) | 1,799 |
| VI. Property Disclosures and Environmental Issues (9) | 1,642 |
| VII. Financing and Settlement (7) | 1,285 |
| VIII. Real Estate Math Calculations (7) | 1,286 |
| General portion subtotal (80 scored) | 14,579 |
| Kansas portion | |
| I. Duties and Powers of the Kansas Real Estate Commission (2) | 360 |
| II. Licensing Requirements (4) | 724 |
| III. Requirements Governing Activities of Licensees (5) | 917 |
| IV. Prohibited Acts (8) | 1,423 |
| V. Brokerage Relationships in Real Estate Transactions Act (BRRETA) (11) | 1,985 |
| Kansas portion subtotal (30 scored) | 5,409 |
| Total (110 scored) | 19,988 |
Every salesperson outline area carries practice coverage. The Kansas outline’s sixth area — broker-only topics such as trust-fund handling and office supervision at the broker level — is tested on the broker exam, not the salesperson exam, and this program is built for the salesperson exam.
How to use it
- Join the notify list today. When enrollment opens, start with the free sample exam — a fixed set of Kansas questions across both portions, enough to see how the program works and where you stand.
- Drill by outline area. Work the areas the sample exposed, area by area. Give the Kansas portion its own dedicated block: BRRETA and Prohibited Acts together are 19 of its 30 scored questions, and they are pure Kansas law that general study materials barely touch.
- Sit full generated exams against the clock. A combined sitting is 125 questions on screen — 110 scored plus 15 pretest items you cannot identify — inside 4 hours of testing time. Practice the pace of each portion separately as well: 85 questions in 150 minutes on the general portion, 40 in 90 minutes on the Kansas portion.
- Watch your per-area breakdown. Because each portion must pass on its own, track your readiness portion by portion, not as one blended score. When an area stops appearing in your misses, move on; when one keeps appearing, drill it again before your next full exam.
- Book the real exam through Pearson VUE once your practice scores sit comfortably above the passing standard on both portions — and keep the licensing clock in view: your complete license application must reach KREC within six months of the date you passed your earlier portion.
Pricing
Pricing for the Kansas program will be announced when enrollment opens. The full program — all 19,988 questions, unlimited fresh blueprint-weighted practice exams, topic drills for every outline area, and per-question analytics — will carry the site’s standard refund terms: 14 days provided you have attempted less than 20% of the program (see the site Terms for the full policy).
Frequently asked questions
How many questions are on the Kansas real estate exam? The salesperson exam has 110 scored questions across two portions: 80 on the general portion and 30 on the Kansas portion. The portions also mix in unscored pretest questions that do not affect your result — 5 on the general portion and 10 on the Kansas portion — so you will see 125 questions in total. You cannot tell which questions are pretest items, so treat every question as if it counts.
What score do I need to pass the Kansas real estate exam? A scaled score of 70 on each portion, separately. Per the Pearson VUE candidate handbook, raw results are converted to scaled scores that range from 0 to 100 so that different versions of the exam demand the same level of knowledge — a scaled 70 is not the same thing as answering 70% of the questions correctly. A strong general portion cannot rescue a weak Kansas portion.
Who administers the Kansas real estate exam? Pearson VUE develops and administers the exam on behalf of the Kansas Real Estate Commission. You schedule through Pearson VUE’s Kansas real estate page or by phone at (800) 274-4971, at least 24 hours before your desired test date, and test at a Pearson VUE test center. Walk-in testing is not available.
How much does the Kansas real estate exam cost? The exam fee published in the current candidate handbook is $70 per exam scheduled, paid to Pearson VUE when you reserve — and the handbook’s fee table lists the salesperson combination exam (both portions scheduled for the same day) at $70 total. Exam fees are non-refundable and non-transferable, and payment is not accepted at the test center. Separate state fees apply elsewhere in the process: KREC’s pre-licensure application carries a $15 application fee and a $70 background fee, and the salesperson license fee after you pass is $125.
What do I need before I can take the exam? You must be at least 18 with a high school diploma or equivalent, submit a pre-licensure application to KREC through Citizen Access, be fingerprinted for the KBI/FBI background check, and complete the 30-hour Principles of Real Estate course from a Commission-approved school — that course must be completed before the exam, within the year before you pass both portions. A second course, the 30-hour Kansas Practice Course, is also required for licensure; its certificate must be dated within the six months before KREC receives your license application. KREC authorizes your exam and Pearson VUE emails your scheduling instructions once your requirements are reported.
If I fail one portion, do I retake the whole exam? No. You retake only the portion you failed, and you must wait 24 hours before scheduling the re-exam. The retake has a deadline built in: your complete license application must reach KREC within six months of the date you passed the earlier portion, so the failed portion must be passed inside that window.
How long is my passing score good for? Six months. A complete license application — including the $125 license fee and your affiliation with a supervising Kansas broker — must reach the Commission within six months of your exam date; if you passed the portions on different dates, the six months runs from the earlier date.
Are these the actual exam questions? No. Every PassProfessor question is written by us, from scratch, to Pearson VUE’s published Kansas content outlines and Kansas 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.
Does this program count toward my pre-licensing education? No. Kansas requires a 30-hour Principles of Real Estate course and a 30-hour Kansas Practice Course from Commission-approved schools, and PassProfessor provides neither. This program is exam preparation only — it provides no education credit in any state and is not a substitute for required pre-licensing education.
Why does the Kansas portion get its own drills? Because it is 30 of the 110 scored questions, it must be passed on its own, and its content exists nowhere else: BRRETA’s agency and transaction-brokerage rules (11 questions — Kansas does not permit dual agency), the prohibited acts (8 questions), and Kansas licensing and Commission rules. Our bank holds 5,409 Kansas-portion questions so that section can be drilled until it is the most predictable part of your exam.
When can I enroll in the Kansas 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.
