| Passing score | Scaled score of 70 on a 0–100 scale A scaled score, not a percentage or a number of correct answers. If you pass one section and fail the other, you retake only the failed section, and must pass it and apply for a licence within 1 year of the first passed section; otherwise both sections must be retaken. There is no limit on retakes, you must wait 24 hours to book one, and the exam fee is charged every time, even for one section.

The handbook states that each retake costs the same as the initial exam, including when only one section is retaken. Licence and fingerprinting fees are separate and not included here. Source: Pearson VUE — Idaho Real Estate Candidate Handbook #091300 (July 2024 edition) (2026-09-22) |
