| Administering body | Montana Board of Realty Regulation (Department of Labor & Industry) — exam delivered by Pearson VUE The Board's salesperson page sends candidates to Pearson VUE to schedule. Candidates complete 70 hours of approved pre-licensing education first. The exam can be taken at a Pearson VUE test center or online through OnVUE. How long a passing result stays valid is not shown here: the Board's checklist says the exam must have been passed within the past 12 months, while the Pearson VUE handbook says results are good for three years.

| Passing score | Scaled score of 75 on a 0–100 scale Required on each portion, national and state. Pearson VUE says the scaled score is neither the number nor the percentage of questions answered correctly. A candidate who passes one portion and fails the other retakes only the failed portion.

| Fees |
Pearson VUE lists the national and the state salesperson exams separately, each at the same fee, so a first sitting of both portions is two fees. The Board's salesperson page also lists an annual active renewal fee equal to the license fee.
