What the Texas exam actually looks like
The Texas Real Estate Commission (TREC) requires 180 hours of qualifying pre-license education across six specific 30-hour courses. Once that’s complete, you sit for the salesperson exam at a Pearson VUE testing center.
The exam is 125 multiple-choice questions split into two sections — 85 national questions and 40 Texas-specific questions — and you have 4 hours total. The catch most candidates miss: you have to score 70% on each section independently. Nail the national portion but stumble on Texas-specific Promulgated Contract Forms, and you fail the entire exam.
Statewide first-attempt pass rates hover around 57%, meaning nearly half of Texas candidates fail at least one section the first time. Click2CE students pass at 92% because the question bank is built around the actual Texas section weights and TREC rule citations — not generic national content with a Texas badge slapped on.

Texas exam — the numbers that matter
Texas real estate exam — frequently asked questions
How many pre-license hours does Texas require?
Texas requires 180 qualifying education hours, broken into six 30-hour TREC-approved courses: Principles of Real Estate I, Principles of Real Estate II, Law of Agency, Law of Contracts, Promulgated Contract Forms, and Real Estate Finance. All six must be completed through a TREC-approved provider before you can sit for the salesperson exam.
What is the format of the Texas real estate exam?
The Texas salesperson exam is administered by Pearson VUE and contains 125 multiple-choice questions: 85 national questions and 40 state-specific (Texas) questions. You have 4 hours total. The two sections are scored independently and you must pass each section separately.
What is the passing score on the Texas real estate exam?
You need 70% on each section independently — 70% on the 85-question national section AND 70% on the 40-question Texas section. Failing either section means you fail the exam, even if your combined score is high. This is why state-specific prep matters so much.
How much does the Texas real estate exam cost? What about retakes?
The Pearson VUE exam fee is $43 per attempt. If you fail one section, you only have to retake that section — but you pay the full $43 each time. TREC also requires the original $205 license application fee to be on file. Most candidates plan for $250–$300 in state fees plus their pre-license course tuition.
How long does it take to get a Texas real estate license?
Most candidates take 4–6 months from start to active license. The 180 hours of pre-license education is the biggest variable — full-time students can finish in 6–8 weeks; part-time learners typically take 3–4 months. Add 2–4 weeks for exam scheduling, fingerprinting, and the TREC application review.
Do I need a sponsoring broker before applying in Texas?
Yes. Texas requires you to be sponsored by an active Texas broker before TREC will issue your active license. You can take the pre-license courses and pass the exam first, but the license is not active until a sponsoring broker submits the sponsorship request through TREC.
What is TREC?
TREC is the Texas Real Estate Commission — the state agency that licenses and regulates real estate brokers, salespersons, and inspectors in Texas. TREC approves pre-license course providers, publishes the Promulgated Contract Forms every Texas agent must use, and enforces the Texas Real Estate License Act.
