QuestionsNot published by Pearson VUE (Rhode Island candidate handbook)

The handbook disagrees with itself on the Rhode Island broker portion: its exam table lists 50 questions, while its state content outline (effective August 21, 2025) says 60 scored items plus 10 pretest. The national portion is 80 questions plus 5 pretest. PrepPass states no total until Pearson VUE resolves it.
