Accepted Answer

145–150 questions. The combination exam is 135 scored questions — 80 national and 55 Louisiana — plus 10 to 15 unscored pretest items (5 national, 5 to 10 state), which is why the total is a range.

Scaled score of 70 on a 0–100 scale. On each part, national and state. The handbook says the scaled score is neither the number nor the percentage of questions answered correctly. Attempts are unlimited within the 1-year authorization; only a failed part is retaken, and a passed part may not be retaken.

Question 6

What languages is the Louisiana Real Estate Salesperson Licensing Examination offered in?

Accepted Answer

Not published by LREC / 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.
