| Passing score | Scaled score of 70 on a 0–100 scale On each exam, general and Kansas. The handbook says the scaled score is neither the number nor the percentage of questions answered correctly. A passed exam need not be retaken; the failed one must be passed in time for KREC to receive the complete application within 6 months of the earlier exam date. Re-exams can be booked after 24 hours.

| Fees |
The handbook also lists an unlabelled $70 fee submitted with the $15 application fee and fingerprints, and a $16 fee for digital fingerprinting at a Pearson VUE test center; it does not say what the $70 covers, so it is not itemised. KREC's own website could not be read to check these. Source: Pearson VUE — Kansas Real Estate Candidate Handbook, April 2025 (#091700, rev7/25; Kansas outline effective 6/11/24) (2026-09-22) |
| Languages offered | Not published by KREC / Pearson VUE None of the Pearson VUE documents listed 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. KREC's page could not be read. PrepPass therefore names no exam language.
