Pennsylvania Real Estate Exam Prep — Pass the PREC Salesperson Exam
75-hour PREC-aligned prep, an AI Tutor that knows RELRA cold, and a money-back Pass Guarantee. $59 flat.
What the Pennsylvania exam actually looks like
The Pennsylvania Real Estate Commission (PREC) requires 75 hours of approved Salesperson pre-license education before you can sit for the state exam — split as 30 hours of Real Estate Fundamentals and 45 hours of Real Estate Practice. Once that’s complete, you sit for the Salesperson exam at a Pearson VUE testing center.
The exam is 120 multiple-choice questions split into two sections — 80 national + 40 Pennsylvania-specific — scored independently. You need 60 of 80 (75%) on the national section AND 30 of 40 (75%) on the Pennsylvania section. The PA state section is small, so a single missed cluster can sink you.
Statewide first-attempt pass rates hover around 60%. Click2CE students pass at an 92% student-reported first-attempt pass rate* because the question bank is built specifically around the PREC blueprint and the Real Estate Licensing and Registration Act (RELRA), which drives most of the PA-specific content.

Pennsylvania exam — the numbers that matter
“RELRA is dense and the PA state section only has 40 questions, so you cannot afford to miss many. Click2CE drilled the disclosure and escrow rules until I knew them cold. Passed first try.”

Pennsylvania real estate exam — frequently asked questions
How many pre-license hours does Pennsylvania require?
Pennsylvania requires 75 hours of approved Salesperson pre-license education through a school approved by the Pennsylvania Real Estate Commission (PREC) before you can sit for the state exam — split as 30 hours of Real Estate Fundamentals and 45 hours of Real Estate Practice.
What is RELRA, and why does it matter for the exam?
RELRA is the Real Estate Licensing and Registration Act — Pennsylvania’s primary statute governing real estate licensees, brokerage operations, escrow handling, and disciplinary procedures. RELRA is the single largest source of state-specific exam questions and is essential to pass the PA section.
What is the format of the Pennsylvania real estate exam?
The Pennsylvania Salesperson exam is administered by Pearson VUE and contains 120 multiple-choice questions: 80 national questions and 40 Pennsylvania-specific questions. The two sections are scored independently. You have approximately 3 hours total.
What is the passing score on the Pennsylvania real estate exam?
You need 75% on each section independently — 60 of 80 on the national section AND 30 of 40 on the Pennsylvania section. Failing either section means you fail the exam.
How much does the Pennsylvania real estate exam cost?
The Pearson VUE exam fee is $52 per attempt. The PREC Salesperson license fee runs about $97 (application + license issuance). If you fail one section, you only retake that section, but each retake costs the full $52.
Is termite inspection really required in Pennsylvania?
For most Pennsylvania residential transactions, lenders or buyers require a Wood-Destroying Insect (termite) inspection — particularly for VA and many conventional loans. While not a state mandate for every sale, it is a standard practice you must understand for the exam and for your career, including the disclosure obligations under RELRA and the PA Seller’s Property Disclosure Statement.
Do I need a sponsoring broker before activating in Pennsylvania?
Yes. Pennsylvania requires you to be employed by a Pennsylvania-licensed broker before PREC will activate your Salesperson license. You can pass the exam first, but the license is not active until your broker submits the affiliation through PREC.
How does Pennsylvania continuing education work?
Active Pennsylvania Salespersons must complete 14 hours of continuing education every 2 years to renew — including 3.5 hours of mandatory required topics set by PREC each renewal cycle. Brokers also need 14 hours including the same required topics. CE must be completed through a school approved by your state real estate commission.

The Pennsylvania Real Estate Market
Pennsylvania is effectively a two-metro state, anchored by the Philadelphia region in the southeast and the Pittsburgh region in the southwest, with the capital at Harrisburg and the growing Lehigh Valley (Allentown) in between. Affordable housing relative to neighboring states keeps both major metros active.
Who Regulates Real Estate in Pennsylvania
Your Pennsylvania license is issued and regulated by the Pennsylvania State Real Estate Commission (SREC). Knowing how to reach the SREC — and its rules on retakes and license types — keeps your path to licensure on track.
Licensed Near Pennsylvania? Explore Neighboring States
Real estate licenses are state-specific, so each neighboring state runs its own exam and rules. If you practice across state lines or are comparing markets, check the requirements for the states bordering Pennsylvania. Always confirm current reciprocity and license- recognition agreements directly with the SREC.
How do the Philadelphia and Pittsburgh markets compare?
Philadelphia and its suburbs form a larger, higher-priced market connected to the Northeast Corridor, while Pittsburgh offers a more affordable, revitalized economy built on healthcare, education, and technology. The two metros sit at opposite ends of the state, so agents’ networks and practices are usually regional.
