How to Take and Score the Test
- Choose a portion. You can do National and State in separate study sessions. Keep notes and the answer workshop closed while answering.
- Record an answer and flag guesses. A lucky correct choice still deserves review.
- Score the portions separately. Count unanswered questions as incorrect. Do not combine the scores to decide whether one portion needs work.
- Review the reasoning. For each miss, write one sentence explaining the controlling rule. Use page 34 to spot repeated errors, not to overinterpret a topic represented by only a few questions.
- Try different questions next. This is a fixed booklet. Remembering its answer letters on a retake is not evidence that you are ready for the licensing exam.
| Portion | Official passing mark | Optional practice target |
|---|---|---|
| National | 56 correct out of 80 | 64 out of 80 |
| Texas State Law | 28 correct out of 40 | 32 out of 40 |
The official passing marks come from the Pearson VUE candidate handbook. The 80 percent practice target is our suggested cushion, not an official requirement or a validated prediction of passing.
Worked score example: 64/80 National and 26/40 State gives 80 percent National and 65 percent State. The combined 75 percent hides the State result, which is below its official passing mark. Review the State concepts you missed and then try Texas State practice.
For timed paper practice, allow 150 minutes for National and 90 minutes for State, or 240 minutes for both. Those are the official portion time limits, but this booklet has fewer total items because it omits pretest questions. Its difficulty and cognitive mix are not calibrated to the real exam. See the exam-format guide for appointment details.

Try These Texas Practice Questions Now
Start with five original questions on intermediary consent, homestead conveyance, property-tax math, loan-to-value, and fair housing. Each answer includes the reason and the trap. These are original teaching examples, not official exam items or a reliable measure of exam readiness. Texas-specific rules and National principles are identified below.
Read each question, commit to an answer before you look, then read why the trap answer is wrong.
1. Intermediary (Texas agency)
A broker has a signed listing with a seller and also represents the buyer who wants that same house. What must happen before the broker can act as an intermediary?
- A. Nothing, intermediary status applies automatically
- B. The broker must obtain written consent from both parties
- C. The broker must drop one of the two clients
- D. The broker must convert the relationship to dual agency
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: B. Both parties must give written consent before the broker acts as an intermediary. Each consent must state the source of the broker’s expected compensation. Permission to appoint associated license holders is a separate detail. Do not substitute the term dual agency. Source: TRELA §1101.559.
2. Homestead conveyance (Texas property law)
A married seller holds the family home as separate property in their name only, and both spouses live there. Neither spouse is absent or incapacitated, and no legal exception applies. Who must join in conveying the homestead?
- A. Only the spouse named on title
- B. Both spouses
- C. Either spouse acting alone
- D. Neither, a power of attorney is required
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: B. Under the stated facts, both spouses must join even though only one holds title. The rule has statutory exceptions, which this example excludes. The title alone does not answer the homestead question. Source: Texas Family Code §5.001.
3. Property-tax math (National math with Texas units)
For this hypothetical taxing unit, a property has a $300,000 value before exemptions and a stated $40,000 exemption. Its rate is $2.10 per $100, with no other exemptions or limits. What is this unit’s annual tax? The $40,000 is an exercise assumption, not the current Texas school homestead exemption.
- A. $546
- B. $5,460
- C. $6,300
- D. $5,460 plus a state transfer tax
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: B. The taxable value is $300,000 minus $40,000, or $260,000. That contains 2,600 units of $100. Multiply 2,600 by $2.10 to get $5,460. Do not add an unrelated transfer tax to an annual property-tax calculation. Source: Texas Comptroller, property-tax calculation.
4. Loan-to-value (National finance)
A buyer agrees to pay $250,000 for a home that appraises at $240,000. For a conventional purchase loan using the standard lower-of-price-or-appraisal rule, which figure sets the value used for an 80 percent loan?
- A. The $250,000 sale price
- B. The $240,000 appraised value
- C. The average of the two
- D. Whichever figure is higher
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: B. Under this purchase-loan rule, use $240,000. Multiplying by 80 percent gives a $192,000 loan. The buyer then needs $58,000 toward the price before closing costs. Do not apply this purchase rule indiscriminately to refinancing or special loan programs. Source: Fannie Mae Selling Guide B2-1.2-01.
5. Fair housing (federal law)
A landlord of housing covered by the Fair Housing Act, with no applicable exemption, refuses to rent to an applicant because the applicant has two young children. Which federal protected class does this implicate?
- A. Familial status
- B. Age
- C. Marital status
- D. None, a landlord may choose tenants freely
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: A. Familial status protects qualifying households with children under 18. Age and marital status are not separate protected classes under the federal Fair Housing Act, though other laws may provide additional protection. Source: HUD, Fair Housing Act.
Match Your Practice to the Real Texas Exam
The National portion tests general real estate principles and federal rules. The State portion tests Texas law. Matching their published topic counts makes a practice set useful for coverage, but does not prove it has the same difficulty as Pearson’s exam.
Latest Texas sales agent exam syllabus and question weights
Pearson VUE calls this the content outline rather than a syllabus. Checked September 7, 2026, the current National or General salesperson outline is effective March 1, 2025, and the current Texas Sales Agent State Law outline is effective January 1, 2026. The tables below follow those published salesperson allocations, not the separate broker outline. View Pearson’s official content outlines.
| National or General area | Scored items |
|---|---|
| Real Estate Contracts and Agency | 16 |
| Real Property Characteristics, Legal Descriptions, and Property Use | 11 |
| Property Value and Appraisal | 11 |
| Real Estate Practice | 10 |
| Forms of Ownership, Transfer, and Recording of Title | 9 |
| Property Disclosures and Environmental Issues | 9 |
| Financing and Settlement | 7 |
| Real Estate Math Calculations | 7 |
| National total | 80 |
| Texas State Law area | Scored items |
|---|---|
| Commission Duties and Powers | 3 |
| Licensing | 3 |
| Standards of Conduct | 9 |
| Agency and Brokerage | 11 |
| Contracts | 9 |
| Special Topics | 5 |
| Texas State total | 40 |
The State outline does not publish a question count for each subtopic inside those six areas. A provider can match the six official area totals, but it should not invent a hidden weight for intermediary, advertising, promulgated forms, or any other individual State subtopic.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this Texas real estate practice test really free?
Yes. The PDF and the five examples on this page require no account or payment. The linked public practice tests and topic samples are also free. The app has a free account tier and optional paid access, which is separate from downloading this booklet.
Is there a free Texas real estate practice test PDF with answers?
Yes. Download the 66-page, 120-question booklet. The answer key is on page 33, and explanations begin on page 35. Each answer includes reasoning, a common trap, and links to supporting sources.
Can I save my PDF score in Pass Texas?
There is no PDF score import. Keep your completed scorecard and use it to choose your next topic. If you want to carry a website result into a free web-app account, take the interactive practice exam and use its save-result action after submitting.
Is this an official Pearson VUE practice test?
No. Pass Texas writes its own study questions. Pearson offers its own National-portion practice product, as described in its candidate handbook. That is different from this free booklet and does not replace Texas-specific preparation.
Does the booklet follow the current syllabus?
Its area totals and National subtopic counts follow Pearson’s National salesperson outline effective March 1, 2025 and Texas Sales Agent State Law outline effective January 1, 2026. Version 3.0 was reviewed September 7, 2026. Texas subtopic selection is editorial because Pearson does not publish those quotas. Five Special Topics questions cannot cover all eleven groups. A matching allocation does not make these live or calibrated exam questions.
Can I pass using only this PDF?
No single practice set can establish that you will pass. Use your qualifying-course material, review concepts you miss, and test yourself on unfamiliar questions in both portions. If you already recognize every answer in the booklet, switch to different questions rather than treating a higher repeat score as proof of improvement.
What should I do if the PDF will not download?
Open the link in a browser and use its download or share menu to save a copy. On a phone, check Files or Downloads. If the file still will not open, use the HTML topic questions or contact us. No account is needed to access the PDF.
Sources and Methodology
This page is for Texas sales agent exam preparation, not transaction-specific legal, tax, or lending advice. The five on-page examples and the exam allocations were reviewed on September 7, 2026. Scenario prices and the property-tax exemption in the exercise are hypothetical inputs, not claims about a current property or exemption entitlement.
Version 3.0 replaces the older booklet. All 120 questions use the current shared practice bank, with a reviewed source record and checks that prevent unreviewed wording from silently entering a rebuild. The exported question text, keyed answers, explanations, file length, and section locations were checked. This is an editorial review, not independent professional certification or a prediction of exam performance.
