Enrollment open: 19,996 original practice questions, written to the current Pearson VUE outlines for Texas. Enroll today and start with the free sample exam.
Texas licenses sales agents through a two-portion exam given by Pearson VUE for the Texas Real Estate Commission (TREC): 80 scored questions on the national portion and 40 scored questions on the Texas state-law portion, and you must pass each portion on its own. PassProfessor’s Texas program gives you 19,996 original practice questions mapped to those same outlines, practice exams drawn fresh at the real exam’s portion and topic weights every time you sit one, drills by portion and topic, and results that break down by outline area. A free sample exam is included, so you can look around first.
What’s included
A bank built for both portions, in the exam’s own proportions. The Texas exam is really two tests: general real estate principles that apply everywhere, and Texas law that applies nowhere else. Our Texas bank holds 19,996 questions — more than 13,000 tagged to the eight national-portion topic areas and more than 6,000 tagged to the six Texas state-law areas — so neither portion has to be prepared from leftovers. The state-law areas, from Commission Duties and Powers to promulgated Contracts, are drilled as their own block, because that portion is scored separately and cannot be rescued by a strong national result.
Practice exams at the real exam’s weights. Each full practice exam is generated fresh for that attempt, drawn at the real exam’s blueprint: the national portion’s eight areas in their official proportions (Real Estate Contracts and Agency carries the most, at 16 of 80 scored questions) and the state portion’s six areas in theirs (Agency/Brokerage carries the most, at 11 of 40). 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 — Texas Standards of Conduct, Real Estate Math Calculations, Property Value and Appraisal — or sit a full two-portion simulation against the clock: 150 minutes for the national portion and 90 minutes for the state portion, the same limits Pearson VUE allows. Your results break down by outline area and by portion, 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. Questions students find suspiciously easy or suspiciously hard are pulled for review, and anything found wrong is fixed or retired. Your own attempt history does the same work at your level: it shows which topics are costing you points, portion by portion, so study time goes where the score is actually being lost.
The real exam at a glance
Current as of October 2026, per the Texas Real Estate Commission (TREC) and the Pearson VUE Texas Real Estate Candidate Handbook (September 2026, publication #094400) and Texas Real Estate Content Outlines (publication #094401, 01/2026). Full detail — eligibility, registration, fingerprints, retakes, test day — is in our Texas real estate exam guide.
| National portion | Texas state-law portion | |
|---|---|---|
| Scored questions | 80 | 40 |
| Unscored pretest questions mixed in | 5 | 10 |
| Questions you will see | 85 | 50 |
| Time limit | 150 minutes | 90 minutes |
| Passing standard | 56 of 80 correct (70%) | 28 of 40 correct (70%) |
| Exam fee | $58 total for the sales agent exam, paid to Pearson VUE at reservation (see guide) |
- The exam is administered by Pearson VUE for TREC, at Pearson VUE test centers. There are no walk-in appointments; reservations are made at least 24 hours ahead.
- The two portions are scored separately. You must reach the passing count on each portion on its own — 56 correct on the national portion and 28 correct on the state portion. Passing one portion and failing the other means you retake only the portion you failed.
- Texas reports this exam as a raw score — the number of questions answered correctly — not as a scaled score. The handbook states the passing counts directly: 56 on the national portion and 28 on the state portion for sales agents.
- Before you can schedule, you must complete 180 hours of qualifying education, file your sales agent application with TREC, and receive TREC’s scheduling instructions. This program is exam preparation only — it is not qualifying education and provides no education credit toward those 180 hours.
- You have one year from the date your application is filed with TREC to complete all licensing requirements, including passing both portions.
How the practice maps to the real exam
Every question in the Texas bank is tagged to an area of Pearson VUE’s current content outlines — the national/general outline (effective March 1, 2025) and the Texas Sales Agent State Law outline (effective January 1, 2026) — 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) | 1,870 |
| II. Forms of Ownership, Transfer, and Recording of Title (9) | 1,530 |
| III. Property Value and Appraisal (11) | 1,870 |
| IV. Real Estate Contracts and Agency (16) | 2,720 |
| V. Real Estate Practice (10) | 1,700 |
| VI. Property Disclosures and Environmental Issues (9) | 1,530 |
| VII. Financing and Settlement (7) | 1,190 |
| VIII. Real Estate Math Calculations (7) | 1,190 |
| Texas state-law portion | |
| I. Commission Duties and Powers (3) | 480 |
| II. Licensing (3) | 480 |
| III. Standards of Conduct (9) | 1,439 |
| IV. Agency/Brokerage (11) | 1,757 |
| V. Contracts (9) | 1,440 |
| VI. Special Topics (5) | 800 |
Two areas deserve attention out of proportion to their size. Commission Duties and Powers and Licensing carry only 3 scored questions each on the state portion, but they test TREC itself — its composition and powers, the Recovery Trust Account, who needs a license and how one is kept — material that appears nowhere on the national portion and rewards direct study. And on the national side, Real Estate Contracts and Agency alone is one scored question in five; the bank gives it the largest single allocation for the same reason.
How to use it
- Start with the free sample exam — a fixed set of Texas questions across both portions, enough to see how the program works and where you stand.
- Take a readiness reading for each portion separately. Do not average them. A combined score can look comfortable while one portion sits below its passing count, and the real exam will not average them either.
- Drill by portion and topic. Work the areas your sample and your analytics expose — Texas promulgated contracts, intermediary practice, trust accounts, appraisal methods, math — until the misses in that area stop repeating.
- Sit full two-portion simulations against the clock. 85 national questions in 150 minutes and 50 state questions in 90 minutes, pretest items included, is a pacing skill as much as a knowledge test. Practice the pace, not just the material.
- Book the real exam through Pearson VUE once your practice results sit comfortably above 56 of 80 and 28 of 40 on full simulations of each portion — and keep TREC’s one-year application clock in view while you do it.
Pricing
The Texas program is $49 for full access to all 19,996 questions, both portions included. The standard PassProfessor refund terms apply: 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 do I enroll in the Texas program? Enrollment is open. Enroll on this page for $49 and you get immediate access to the full program — all 19,996 questions, the portion and topic drills, and the generated practice exams — starting with the free sample exam if you want to look around first.
How many questions are on the Texas real estate exam? You will see 135 questions across the two portions: 85 on the national portion (80 scored plus 5 unscored pretest questions) and 50 on the state-law portion (40 scored plus 10 unscored pretest questions). Pretest questions look exactly like scored questions and are not identified, so treat every question as if it counts.
Do I have to pass both portions? Yes. The portions are scored separately, and each has its own passing count: at least 56 of 80 scored questions correct on the national portion and at least 28 of 40 scored questions correct on the Texas state-law portion. A strong result on one portion does not offset a shortfall on the other. If you fail one portion, you retake only that portion.
What score do I need to pass the Texas sales agent exam? Per the Pearson VUE candidate handbook, sales agent candidates pass by answering 56 questions correctly on the national portion and 28 questions correctly on the state portion — 70% of the scored questions on each portion, separately. Texas reports the result as a raw count of correct answers, and you receive an official score report marked pass or fail when you leave the test center.
How much does the Texas real estate exam cost? The exam fee is $58 for the sales agent examination, paid to Pearson VUE by card or voucher when you reserve; payment is not accepted at the test center, and exam fees are non-refundable and non-transferable. That fee is separate from TREC’s license application fee and from the fingerprinting fee, both covered in our exam guide.
What do I need before I can take the exam? You must be at least 18, be a U.S. citizen or lawfully admitted alien, meet TREC’s qualifications for honesty, trustworthiness, and integrity, complete 180 hours of qualifying education (six 30-hour courses), file your sales agent application with TREC through the REALM Portal, and have fingerprints on file with the Texas Department of Public Safety for the background check. TREC emails scheduling instructions once it has reviewed your education; you then reserve with Pearson VUE.
How long do I have to pass the exam? One year from the date your application is filed with TREC. All licensing requirements — including passing both portions and clearing the background check — must be completed inside that year, or the application expires and you reapply under the current requirements.
What happens if I fail a portion? You retake only the portion you failed, as long as you do so within the one-year application window. You must wait 24 hours before scheduling a re-examination, re-examination reservations cannot be made at the test center, and the $58 fee applies to each attempt. Candidates get three attempts to pass both portions before the application expires; after a third failure, additional qualifying education is required before testing again — 30 hours if you failed one portion, 60 hours if you failed both. The full rule is explained in our exam guide.
Does this program count toward my 180 hours of qualifying education? No. PassProfessor is exam preparation only. It provides no qualifying-education or other education credit, and it is not a substitute for the 180 hours of TREC qualifying courses — Principles of Real Estate I and II, Law of Agency, Law of Contracts, Promulgated Contract Forms, and Real Estate Finance — which must be completed with a TREC-approved qualifying education provider.
Are these the actual exam questions? No. Every PassProfessor question is written by us, from scratch, to Pearson VUE’s published Texas content outlines and Texas 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.
Can I take the Texas real estate exam online from home? The handbook routes Texas candidates to Pearson VUE test centers, and walk-in testing is not available; reserve online or by phone at least 24 hours ahead. Pearson VUE’s own online practice tests cover the national portion only — no official practice test exists for the Texas state-law portion, which is one reason this program drills that portion as its own block.
Why does the Texas state-law portion get its own drills? Because it is 40 of the 120 scored questions, it is scored on its own passing count, and none of its content — the Real Estate License Act, TREC Rules, intermediary practice, promulgated contract forms, homestead and community property — appears on the national portion. A national-only study plan leaves a third of the exam, and one of its two pass/fail decisions, unprepared.
