Straight answers to the questions candidates ask most about the Florida real estate sales associate exam — format, passing score, cost, retakes, and requirements.
The sales associate exam has 100 scored multiple-choice questions (four options, A–D), plus a small number of unidentified, unscored pilot questions. You get 3.5 hours, and it is closed book.
You need 75% — 75 of the 100 scored questions correct.
The exam fee is $36.75 per attempt, paid to Pearson VUE when you schedule. The same fee applies each time you retake it.
Yes. There is no cap on attempts and no state-imposed waiting period — you can reschedule as soon as a seat is available. Your 63-hour course completion certificate stays valid for two years, and you must present it at every attempt.
You must complete a 63-hour FREC-approved pre-license course (and pass its end-of-course exam), be at least 18, hold a high school diploma or GED, and have a U.S. Social Security number. Florida residency and U.S. citizenship are not required.
At Pearson VUE testing centers across Florida (Miami, Orlando, Tampa, Jacksonville, and others). The license exam is taken in person; there is no remote online proctoring for it.
Yes. The Florida sales associate exam is developed by the state (DBPR), which offers its exams in English and Spanish at no additional cost — you select your language when scheduling with Pearson VUE, and you may also bring a word-for-word translation dictionary. Practicing the terminology in English still helps, so PassFlorida lets you study in English, Spanish, or side-by-side.
Most candidates need 40–80 hours of focused practice after the 63-hour course. Spreading sessions over 3–6 weeks and drilling weak topics beats cramming.
