The salesperson exam comprises 152 questions; 100 of those questions belong to the national portion, and 52 questions belong to the state-specific portion. Multiple-choice sections passing score is determined by Angoff method, whereby subject matter experts evaluate the relative difficulty of each question linked to what a ‘minimally competent practitioner’ (MCP) should know or demonstrate. These ratings are then combined to establish the minimum passing score, which represents a minimally competent practitioner’s expected performance on the examination.
In the broker exam, you will encounter 11 simulation problems plus four simulation problems focused on state-specific topics. Content experts evaluate each section of the simulations to establish a minimum passing level (MPL). That MPL is based on the scoring weights assigned to each option and also represents the performance expected of a ‘minimally competent practitioner.’
Upon completing your examination, you will receive an official results report.
