Which part do you need to practice?
Start with the combined diagnostic if you are unsure. Choose National or Texas State if you want to focus on one portion, including the portion you need to retake.

A fast first read
Notice questions you missed or guessed. With only one or two questions in most areas, this run cannot reliably rank your topics.
Separate portion results
Pearson scores National and Texas State Law separately. Use the two portion tests for a fuller sample.
National-only practice
80 questions across the current eight national areas
Allow 141 minutes for this practice test. It omits the real exam's unscored pretest items; the timing note below explains the shorter timer.

What should you do with your practice score?
Compare National and State results separately, then choose a next step below. A practice score can guide your study, but it cannot guarantee an exam pass.
| Your result | Your next step |
|---|---|
| Below 56/80 National or 28/40 State | Pick two topics from your missed answers. Read the explanations, revisit the rules and complete a focused topic set before another timed attempt. |
| At or above the line, with guesses or familiar questions | Review those answers too. Explain why your choice is right and why the other choices are wrong. Repeating a remembered answer does not check whether you understand the rule. |
| Time ran out | Work through unfinished questions without a timer first. For math, write the inputs, formula and units before calculating. Use the free math drill if calculations slowed you down. |
Why an overall percentage can mislead you
Suppose you get 60 of 80 National answers right and 27 of 40 State answers right. That is 72.5% overall, but the State score is one answer below its passing line. National cannot make up the difference: Pearson requires a separate passing score for each portion.
The 25-question diagnostic uses a 70% practice benchmark, reached at 18 correct answers. That is a study checkpoint, not a combined licensing-exam passing score.
Write one useful note for each mistake
Record what you missed: the rule, the calculation or a detail in the question. Finish with a sentence you can use next time, such as “I calculated the down payment, but the question asked for the loan amount.” Then solve a different question on that concept before repeating the test.
National portion blueprint
All eight National areas, in the official scored-item mix.
The National practice test matches the counts below. On the real exam, you need 56 correct answers out of 80 scored questions to pass this portion.
Why this simulator uses 141 minutes
The official appointment allows 150 minutes for 85 displayed items: 80 scored and 5 unidentified, unscored pretest items. Our timer applies that pace to 80 questions: 150 × 80 ÷ 85, rounded to 141 minutes. This is a practice target, not Pearson's official time limit.
| Content area | Scored items | Share of portion |

| Contracts & Agency | 16 | 20.0% |
| Property Characteristics | 11 | 13.8% |
| Value & Appraisal | 11 | 13.8% |
| Real Estate Practice | 10 | 12.5% |

Texas State Law blueprint
All six Texas areas, with the exact 40-question allocation.
The State practice test matches the counts below. On the real exam, you need 28 correct answers out of 40 scored questions to pass this portion.
Why the State-only practice timer is 72 minutes
The official appointment allows 90 minutes for 50 displayed items: 40 scored and 10 unidentified, unscored pretest items. Applying that pace to 40 questions gives 90 × 40 ÷ 50 = 72 minutes. This is a practice target, not Pearson's official time limit.
| Content area | Scored items | Share of portion |
|---|---|---|
| TREC Duties & Powers | 3 | 7.5% |
| Licensing | 3 | 7.5% |
| Standards of Conduct | 9 | 22.5% |
| Agency & Brokerage | 11 | 27.5% |
| Contracts & Forms | 9 | 22.5% |
| Special Topics | 5 | 12.5% |
| Total | 40 | 100% |

Why Pearson's published totals do not add up
The current handbook lists 125 items for the combined sales appointment, while its separate-portion rows list 85 National and 50 State items. Those rows total 135. Pass Texas keeps each published figure in its original context and does not invent an explanation for the difference. The content outline separately identifies 80 National and 40 State questions as scored. See the handbook's appointment table.
By topic
How are the practice questions chosen?
These free tests draw from 251 public questions across 14 areas. The full National and State tests match the official number of scored questions in each area. The 25-question diagnostic samples all 14 areas with approximate weights. A new attempt can include questions you have already seen.
For untimed practice in one area, follow a topic link in the tables above. Each set includes questions, explanations and source links. The larger app bank is separate from this public pool.

Frequently asked questions
Is this Texas real estate practice exam really free?
Yes. All three tests include a free score and every answer explanation, with no signup required. An account is only needed if you choose to save a timed-test result. The paid app bank is separate.
What is a good score on a Texas real estate practice test?
Use the official passing scores, 56/80 National and 28/40 State, as a reference. A 70% practice score alone does not establish readiness. You should also be able to finish on time and explain your answers without notes or relying on memory of the question.
Can I save this practice exam result to my account?
Yes. After submission, choose "Save my score to my account," then create a free account or sign in. Your score and area breakdown open in the web app. This option applies to the timed tests; separate topic-quiz results cannot be saved yet.
How many questions are on the real Texas real estate exam?
There are 80 scored National questions and 40 scored Texas State Law questions. Pearson lists 125 displayed items for the combined appointment, but its separate-portion totals do not reconcile with that figure. See the published item-count difference below the blueprint tables.
Does this practice test match the real exam topics?
Yes. The full National and State tests match the official scored-item count in each area. The 25-question diagnostic samples all 14 areas with approximate weights. Topic coverage does not mean the questions are the same as those on the live exam.
Can I practice the National and Texas State portions separately?
Yes. Start the 80-question National test here or open the 40-question Texas State test. Each gives you a separate score and explanations.
Is the practice exam timed like the real test?
Yes. The diagnostic allows 30 minutes, National practice 141 minutes and State practice 72 minutes. The portion timers are scaled to omit unscored questions; see National timing and State timing for the calculation. Answers appear after submission, which happens automatically when time expires.
Can I use a calculator on the Texas real estate exam?
Yes. Pearson VUE recommends bringing a calculator, since the test center does not provide one. Acceptable calculators are hand-held, battery or solar-powered financial calculators used in real estate, finance, accounting, and business; they may have storage capabilities but must not contain alpha (letter) keys. Calculator rules can change, so confirm the current Pearson VUE Texas Real Estate Candidate Handbook before test day. Pearson makes an exception to the letter-key restriction for mathematical symbols such as sin and cos.
Is there a printable PDF version with answers?
Yes. The free practice-test PDF has 120 original questions, 80 National and 40 State, with an answer key, sourced explanations and separate scorecards. It is a separate paper set; paper results cannot be saved to an account.
Are these real Texas real estate exam questions?
No. These are original practice questions based on National real estate principles or Texas law. Pearson VUE does not publish live exam questions for candidate review, and Pass Texas does not claim access to them.
