Question 2

How many questions are on the Arkansas Real Estate Salesperson Examination?

Accepted Answer

125 questions (110 scored, 15 unscored pretest). General (national) part: 80 scored items plus 5 pretest. Arkansas law part: 30 scored items plus 10 pretest. Pretest items are not identified.

Question 3

How long is the Arkansas Real Estate Salesperson Examination?

Accepted Answer

Not published by AREC / Pearson VUE. The handbook says only, for all Arkansas exams together, that candidates “will have two to four hours to complete your exam”; no time is given for the salesperson parts specifically, so PrepPass states none.

Question 4

What is the passing score for the Arkansas Real Estate Salesperson Examination?

Accepted Answer

Not published by AREC / Pearson VUE (range of the score scale). The cut score is published — a scaled score of 70 on each part, set by the Commission — but the scale's range is not, and the handbook states the scaled score is neither a number correct nor a percentage, so it is not shown as “70%”. A passed part need not be retaken; the failed part must be passed within 6 months or the whole exam is retaken.

Question 5

How much does the Arkansas Real Estate Salesperson Examination cost?

Accepted Answer

$75 — Salesperson exam, both parts scheduled together (each part scheduled separately is also $75 per part) (Pearson VUE, per attempt) Source
$50 — Application to take the license exam (Arkansas residents) (Arkansas Real Estate Commission, one-time)

Non-resident applicants who must take the exam pay an $85 application fee instead. Exam fees are non-refundable and non-transferable except under the change/cancel policy.

Question 6

What languages is the Arkansas Real Estate Salesperson Examination offered in?

Accepted Answer

Not published by AREC / Pearson VUE. None of the listed documents states the languages the exam is offered in; they were searched for “language”, “English” and “Spanish”, and the only hit is that identification must be in English. PrepPass therefore names no exam language.
