6 Texas real estate practice questions with explained answers

These original practice questions cover three National topics and three Texas State Law topics. Pick one answer before opening the explanation. Pay attention to the facts that change the answer: a deadline, a type of property or who the agent represents.

These six examples are for study, not a scored test. Choose a topic quiz below if you want a score and more questions on one subject.

National · Real Estate Math

1. Commission calculation

In this hypothetical agreement, the total commission is 6 percent of a $350,000 sale price. What is the total commission before any brokerage or agent splits?

  1. $21,000
  2. $10,500
  3. $19,800
  4. $2,100
Show answer and explanation for question 1

Answer: A. $21,000

Total commission = sale price × agreed rate. $350,000 × 0.06 = $21,000. No split has been applied yet. The 6 percent rate is supplied for this exercise, not a standard or required commission.

Watch for this: Calculate the total first. Do not halve it unless the question actually specifies a split.

National · Financing & Settlement

2. Loan Estimate deadline

A creditor receives the six required application items on Monday for a loan covered by the Loan Estimate rule. It conducts substantially all business functions Monday through Friday. No holiday or exception applies. By when must it deliver or mail the initial Loan Estimate?

  1. Monday
  2. Tuesday
  3. Wednesday
  4. Thursday
Show answer and explanation for question 2

Answer: D. Thursday

The deadline is the third business day after receipt: Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday. This is delivery or mailing, not required receipt by Thursday. Waiting for verification documents does not postpone an application that already contains the six required items.

Watch for this: Do not substitute loan approval for receipt of the application. The separate seven-business-day pre-consummation rule also matters.

National · Disclosures & Environmental

3. Lead-based paint disclosures

In a covered pre-1978 sale, the buyer signs a written waiver of the federal lead inspection opportunity. Which requirement remains?

  1. The seller must remove all lead before closing
  2. The buyer must still take exactly ten days to inspect
  3. The required disclosures and contract acknowledgments
  4. The seller must obtain a new lead-free certification
Show answer and explanation for question 3

Answer: C. The required disclosures and contract acknowledgments

A purchaser can waive the inspection opportunity in writing. The parties can also agree in writing to a different inspection period. Neither change removes the required known-information disclosures, available reports, pamphlet or contract acknowledgments.

Watch for this: Do not confuse this specific federal opportunity with a general inspection contingency or a Texas option period.

Texas State Law · Texas Agency & Intermediary

4. Texas showing agreements

For a residential buyer in 2026, a license holder proposes a showing-only agreement under Section 1101.562 with no representation. It is exclusive and lasts 30 days. Assuming the other required terms are present, what must change?

  1. Keep exclusivity but shorten the term to no more than 14 days
  2. Make it non-exclusive and limit the term to no more than 14 days
  3. Keep the 30-day term but remove the exclusivity provision
  4. Keep both terms if the buyer separately initials those provisions
Show answer and explanation for question 4

Answer: B. Make it non-exclusive and limit the term to no more than 14 days

Section 1101.563(e) imposes both limits on this non-representation showing agreement. Additional brokerage after the showing requires a separate agreement under subsection (d). A representation agreement that limits services to showings is different; this 14-day limit does not govern every buyer-representation agreement.

Watch for this: The question expressly says no representation. Limited services and no representation are not interchangeable.

Texas State Law · Texas Contracts & Forms

5. Choosing a Texas resale contract

A Texas sales agent is negotiating the resale of an existing duplex for a buyer. It is not a condominium or a farm and ranch transaction, and no Rule 537.11 exception applies. Which base contract should the agent use?

  1. TREC Residential Condominium Contract (Resale).
  2. TREC One to Four Family Residential Contract (Resale), Form 20-19.
  3. TREC New Home Contract (Completed Construction), for a builder's sale.
  4. TREC Unimproved Property Contract, with an attachment describing the duplex.
Show answer and explanation for question 5

Answer: B. TREC One to Four Family Residential Contract (Resale), Form 20-19.

Rule 537.11 requires the appropriate mandatory form unless an exception applies. Form 20-19 covers the resale of a single-family home, duplex, triplex or fourplex. TREC lists this version as effective July 1, 2026. Select any needed addenda separately.

Watch for this: Two dwelling units do not make the property a condominium. Use the ownership and transaction facts, not just the number of doors.

Texas State Law · Standards of Conduct

6. Presenting an offer to your client

A seller's property is not under contract. The listing agent prefers a quick cash closing and hides a higher financed offer solely to avoid extra work. Which answer best applies the fidelity canon?

  1. The agent may screen out offers whenever financing could delay closing.
  2. The agent put personal convenience above the client's interest.
  3. The agent may withhold the offer if the advertised price was already met.
  4. The agent fulfilled fidelity by choosing the easiest transaction to close.
Show answer and explanation for question 6

Answer: B. The agent put personal convenience above the client's interest.

Rule 531.2 makes the client's interests primary and prohibits putting personal interests first. The seller decides which offer to accept. Rule 535.156(a)'s written-instruction exception for later offers after a client enters a contract does not apply: this property is not under contract.

Watch for this: An offer with financing is not automatically better or worse. The violation is hiding it for the agent's convenience.

After your quiz

Leave with a rule you can explain.

  1. Review misses and lucky guesses. Read why the correct answer fits and why your choice does not.
  2. Write the rule in one sentence. For a calculation, include the formula and the units.
  3. Try a different example. Change a number or a fact and explain whether the answer changes. Then move to mixed practice.

A repeated topic quiz uses the same questions. Check that you can apply the rule to a new situation; recognizing an answer can raise your score without improving your understanding.

Questions about the answers and exam coverage

How many free Texas practice questions are in this topic library?

251 across the 14 official content areas, including the 6 examples on this page. Each answer has an explanation tied to a source, rule, form or tested principle. Answers and topic-quiz results are free, with no signup.

Should I practice one area at a time or take a full mock exam?

Use a topic quiz to work on a specific rule or skill. Once you can explain your answers, switch to timed practice. Choose the short 25-question diagnostic or a full National or State portion test.

Which Texas exam area should I practice first?

Start with a topic you have missed recently. If you have no results yet, Contracts and Agency is the largest National area at 16 of 80 National; Agency/Brokerage is the largest State area at 11 of 40 Texas State Law. Use those weights to plan your time, while covering every area.

Are these the same questions as the real Texas exam?

No. These are original Pass Texas questions written from the official content outlines and cited source material. Pearson VUE does not publish the live Texas exam questions for candidate review, and Pass Texas does not claim access to them.

Why do the National and Texas State areas show different denominators?

National has 80 scored questions and Texas State Law has 40. Each topic's weight is shown against its own portion because you must pass both separately. A strong National result cannot offset a State result below the passing score.

Can I save a topic quiz to my app account?

Topic-quiz scores do not transfer to the app yet. To save a website score, take a timed practice exam and select “Save my score to my account” after submission.

Can I download Texas real estate exam questions and answers as a PDF?

Yes. The free printable practice-test booklet has 120 original questions, an answer key and explanations. It is a separate paper set, not a PDF export of this 251-question topic library.

Which exam outline does this library follow?

The National salespersons outline effective March 1, 2025, and the Texas sales agent State Law outline effective January 1, 2026. Individual topic pages show their own review dates and sources. National questions can test general principles or calculations rather than a Texas statute.
