What is the passing score for the Vermont real estate license exam?

The national portion of the salesperson exam consists of 100 national questions, and you need to score 70 points to pass that portion of the exam. The state portion of the salesperson exam is administered by the Vermont Office of Professional Regulation (OPR) as part of the initial application process. For more information, visit the Vermont official state website. Each item on this “minimally competent practitioner” (MCP) examination has been previously judged on its difficulty. The judgments are averaged to determine the minimum passing score.

The national broker exam includes 90 questions, and you need to score 75 points to pass that portion of the exam. The state portion of the broker exam is administered by the Vermont Office of Professional Regulation (OPR) as part of the initial application process. For more information, visit the Vermont official state website. Using the weights assigned through the scoring process, a minimum passing level (MPL) was determined to reflect the performance expected of a “minimally competent practitioner” (MCP) for each section.

You will receive your score immediately after you complete your exam.
