Louisiana’s salesperson exam is two separately scored tests in one license: an 80-question national portion and a 55-question Louisiana state portion, and you must reach a scaled score of 70 on each one. PassProfessor’s Louisiana program will give you 19,997 original practice questions mapped to Pearson VUE’s published national and Louisiana outlines — 12,229 on national topics and 7,768 on Louisiana topics, including the civil-law system no other state tests — with fresh blueprint-weighted practice exams, topic drills, and per-question analytics. A free sample exam will be available at launch.
What’s included
A Louisiana bank, not a national bank with a Louisiana chapter stapled on. The state portion is 55 of the 135 scored questions — about 41% of the exam — and it tests material that exists only in Louisiana: the Civil Code’s classification of things, usufruct and other personal servitudes, community property, lesion beyond moiety, redhibition, and the Louisiana Law of Agency. Our bank holds 7,768 questions on the five Louisiana state topics alone, so the portion national courses cover most lightly is the portion you can drill the hardest here.
Fresh practice exams, built to the blueprint every time. Each full practice exam is generated fresh for that attempt, weighted to the real exam’s structure — 80 national questions and 55 Louisiana questions in the official outline proportions. Questions you have not seen come first, and you never sit the same generated exam twice.
Drills that match how the exam is built. Drill a single outline area — Louisiana Civil Law System, real estate math, contracts and agency — or sit a full timed simulation. 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 stays the bank as it should be, not just as it shipped.
The real exam at a glance
Current as of October 2026, per the Louisiana Real Estate Commission (LREC) and the Pearson VUE Louisiana Real Estate Candidate Handbook (publication #091900) and Content Outlines (publication #091901). Full detail — eligibility, registration, retakes, test day — is in our Louisiana real estate exam guide.
| National portion | Louisiana state portion | |
|---|---|---|
| Administered by | Pearson VUE, for the Louisiana Real Estate Commission | Pearson VUE, for the Louisiana Real Estate Commission |
| Scored questions | 80 | 55 |
| Unscored pretest questions mixed in | 5 | 5 to 10 |
| Time limit | 150 minutes | 90 minutes |
| Passing standard | Scaled score of 70 | Scaled score of 70 |
Taken together, the combination exam is 135 scored questions in 240 minutes (4 hours), plus 10 to 15 unidentified pretest questions. The portions can also be scheduled separately.
- Each portion is scored and passed separately. A strong national score cannot rescue a weak Louisiana score. If you pass one portion and fail the other, you retake only the portion you failed — and you cannot retake a portion you have already passed.
- A scaled score of 70 is not 70%. Pearson VUE converts results to a scaled score so different exam forms demand the same knowledge. Plan to practice comfortably above the line on both portions, not on it.
- Louisiana tests its own legal system. Louisiana is a civil-law state, not a common-law state. Where other states say “real property” and “easement,” Louisiana says “immovables” and “servitudes” — and the state portion is built on those Civil Code concepts.
- The exam fee is paid to Pearson VUE when you schedule, after LREC authorizes you to test. The current fee amount is published in the candidate handbook and shown at reservation — check it there before you book, because the handbook is the controlling source.
- Before you can schedule, you complete 90 hours of LREC-approved pre-licensing education and file the Salesperson License Application Part A with LREC. 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 Louisiana bank is tagged to an area of Pearson VUE’s published content outlines — 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 |
|---|---|
| National portion | |
| I. Real Property Characteristics, Legal Descriptions, and Property Use (11) | 1,553 |
| II. Forms of Ownership, Transfer, and Recording of Title (9) | 1,267 |
| III. Property Value and Appraisal (11) | 1,813 |
| IV. Real Estate Contracts and Agency (16) | 2,195 |
| V. Real Estate Practice (10) | 1,459 |
| VI. Property Disclosures and Environmental Issues (9) | 1,272 |
| VII. Financing and Settlement (7) | 1,452 |
| VIII. Real Estate Math Calculations (7) | 1,218 |
| Louisiana state portion | |
| I. Duties, Overview, and Powers of the Real Estate Commission (4–6) | 722 |
| II. Licensing Requirements (7–9) | 1,139 |
| III. Statutory Requirements Governing Licensee Activities (13–15) | 2,005 |
| IV. Louisiana Civil Law System (13–15) | 2,006 |
| V. Louisiana Law of Agency (13–15) | 1,896 |
| Total (135 scored) | 19,997 |
Every official outline area is covered. Two honest notes on the shape of the bank: the three largest Louisiana areas on the real exam — licensee activities, the civil-law system, and agency law, at 13–15 questions each — are also the three largest Louisiana blocks in the bank; and Financing and Settlement carries more practice questions (1,452) than its 7-question exam weight alone would suggest, because financing concepts also underpin the math and settlement material elsewhere on the test.
How to use it
- Join the notify list today. When enrollment opens, start with the free sample exam — a fixed set of Louisiana questions across both portions, enough to see how the program works and where you stand.
- Drill the Louisiana-law areas early. They are about 41% of the real exam and the most concrete material on it — Civil Code classifications, servitudes, agency duties, escrow and advertising rules. Most out-of-state study plans leave them for last; the score report is where that shows.
- Drill by outline area. Work your weakest areas — on the national side, Contracts and Agency alone carries 16 of 80 questions — until the misses stop repeating.
- Sit full generated exams against the clock. 135 scored questions in 240 minutes, with pretest questions mixed in, is a pacing exercise as much as a knowledge one. Practice the pace, in each portion separately, because each portion must pass on its own.
- Book the real exam through Pearson VUE once LREC has authorized you and your practice results sit comfortably above passing on both portions — then complete Part B of the license application with your sponsoring broker and errors-and-omissions proof.

Frequently asked questions
How many questions are on the Louisiana real estate exam? The salesperson exam has 135 scored questions: 80 on the national portion in 150 minutes and 55 on the Louisiana state portion in 90 minutes. The portions also mix in unscored pretest questions — 5 on the national portion and 5 to 10 on the state portion — that do not affect your result and cannot be identified. You can take both portions together as a 240-minute combination exam or schedule them separately.
What score do I need to pass the Louisiana real estate exam? A scaled score of 70 on each portion, separately. Pearson VUE scales results so every version of the exam demands the same level of knowledge, which means a scaled 70 is not the same thing as answering 70% of the questions correctly. Passing one portion does not carry the other.
Who administers the Louisiana real estate exam? Pearson VUE administers the exam for the Louisiana Real Estate Commission (LREC). You cannot schedule until LREC has processed your application and authorized you to test; Pearson VUE then emails your scheduling instructions. Older study materials that name a different testing company are out of date.
How much does the Louisiana real estate exam cost? The exam fee is paid to Pearson VUE when you schedule, and the current amount is published in the Pearson VUE Louisiana candidate handbook and shown during reservation — confirm it there, because fees in older guides and bulletins are stale. Separately, LREC’s Salesperson License Application Part A carries a $90 total: a $45 initial license fee, $10 Research and Education Fund fee, $10 Recovery Fund fee, and $25 application processing fee. Errors-and-omissions insurance, payable later in the process, is not included in that $90.
What do I need before I can take the exam? You must be at least 18 years old, hold a high school diploma or its equivalent, and complete 90 hours of pre-licensing education from an LREC-approved school — including the 30-hour block on Louisiana License Law, Commission rules and regulations, the Law of Agency, and Civil Law pertaining to real estate, for which LREC allows no substitution. You then file Part A of the salesperson license application with LREC, and complete the fingerprint-based background check process through IdentoGO.
Does this program count toward my 90 hours of pre-licensing education? No. PassProfessor is exam preparation only. It provides no pre-licensing education credit and is not a substitute for the 90 hours of LREC-approved education you must complete with a state-certified real estate school before LREC will authorize you to test.
If I fail one portion, do I retake the whole exam? No. The portions are passed separately, and under Pearson VUE’s Louisiana retake rules you may retest as often as desired within your one-year authorized period — but you must pass each part within one year of the first attempt that resulted in a fail or a partial pass, and you cannot retake a portion you have already passed. If your authorization expires, you contact LREC for a new one.
What happens after I pass both portions? You complete Part B of the license application and submit proof of errors-and-omissions insurance — through the LREC group policy or an independent policy with the required form and declarations page. A salesperson practices under a sponsoring licensed broker; if you do not yet have one, you may ask LREC to issue your license in inactive status. After your initial license issues, Louisiana also requires 45 hours of post-license education within 180 days.
What Louisiana license types are there? Louisiana licenses real estate salespersons and brokers. A broker may practice as an individual broker, and Louisiana also recognizes the associate broker: under La. R.S. 37:1431, an associate broker is a person who holds a broker’s license and is exclusively affiliated with and sponsored by another licensed real estate broker. This program prepares you for the salesperson exam; the broker path carries additional experience and education requirements, including an additional 150 hours of approved coursework.
Why does the Louisiana portion get so much of this bank? Because it is 55 of 135 scored questions, it must be passed on its own scaled score, and its content — the Civil Code system of things, servitudes, and community property; the Law of Agency; LREC’s rules for licensee activities — is tested nowhere else in the country. Generic national prep barely touches it. Our bank holds 7,768 Louisiana-topic questions so that portion can be drilled until it is familiar territory.
Are these the actual exam questions? No. Every PassProfessor question is written by us, from scratch, to Pearson VUE’s published Louisiana content outlines and Louisiana 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.
When can I enroll in the Louisiana 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.
