How to Pass the Kansas Real Estate Exam in 2026

The Kansas real estate salesperson exam is administered by Pearson VUE and regulated by the Kansas Real Estate Commission (KREC). The current handbook describes 110 scored questions, four hours divided between the general and state portions, and a scaled passing score of 70 on each portion.

Step 1: Complete the 30-Hour Pre-License Requirement

Kansas requires 30 hours of KREC-approved pre-license education. Follow current KREC instructions for education completion and exam eligibility.

Step 2: Know the Exam Format

Total Scored Questions: 110

General Portion: 80 scored questions and 150 minutes

State Portion: 30 scored questions and 90 minutes

Pretest Items: The current materials identify qualified pretest items—5 general and 10 state items—that are not scored and may be mixed into the examination

Total Time Limit: 240 minutes (4 hours)

Passing Score: Scaled score of 70 on each portion

Exam Fee: $70 when both portions are scheduled together; $70 per portion when scheduled separately

Administered By: Pearson VUE

Each portion is independently timed and scored. A passed portion may be retained for the current eligibility period. The current Kansas source record says scores are valid for six months and the Commission must receive the license application within six months of the earliest passing date.

Step 3: Study the Official Content Areas

Use the current Pearson VUE handbook and KREC materials for property ownership and land use, transfer of title, valuation and appraisal, financing and settlement, agency and fiduciary duties, contracts, fair housing, real estate math, Kansas license law, agency, disclosures, and trust-account requirements.

Step 4: Build a Focused Study Plan

Divide study time between the general and Kansas outlines. Review missed practice questions and verify Kansas-law details against current KREC and Pearson VUE materials. Keep numeric readiness targets and pacing goals as personal study choices, not official requirements.

Step 5: Prepare for Exam Day

Schedule through the current Pearson VUE Kansas real estate page and use its live location information rather than a static city list.

Follow current KREC and Pearson VUE application instructions for any required background-check or fingerprint process, identification, arrival, calculator, note-material, and score-report requirements. Do not assume an exam-day fingerprint process when the requirement belongs to the license application.

After passing, complete the KREC application process, including any current broker-affiliation, background-check, and fee requirements.
