Question 1

Who administers the Nebraska Real Estate Salesperson Examination?

Accepted Answer

Nebraska Real Estate Commission (NREC) — exam delivered by Pearson VUE

After NREC approves the application, Pearson VUE receives the authorization and the candidate books online or by phone at least one calendar day ahead. NREC's own documents disagree on the pre-licensing hours — one says 96 hours in total, another heads the same requirement as 60 hours plus a 6-hour course — so PrepPass does not state a figure; confirm it with NREC.

Question 2

How many questions are on the Nebraska Real Estate Salesperson Examination?

Accepted Answer

135–145 questions. 130 scored items — 80 national and 50 state — plus unscored pretest items. The handbook's exam table gives 5 to 10 pretest items for the exam, but its content outlines give 5 national plus 5 to 10 state; the range covers both.

Question 3

How long is the Nebraska Real Estate Salesperson Examination?

Accepted Answer

240 minutes. The handbook gives 4 hours in total: 2.5 hours for the national part and 1.5 hours for the state part.

Question 4

What is the passing score for the Nebraska Real Estate Salesperson Examination?

Accepted Answer

75%. Required on each part, national and state. A salesperson candidate who passes one part keeps that credit for 3 further attempts or 6 months, or until the application expires, whichever comes first; after that the full exam is taken again. Each retake needs a new NREC authorization and fee.

Question 5

How much does the Nebraska Real Estate Salesperson Examination cost?

Accepted Answer

$150 — License examination fee, per exam (paid to NREC, not to Pearson VUE) (Nebraska Real Estate Commission, per attempt)
$175 — License application fee (Nebraska Real Estate Commission, one-time)
$90 — Salesperson original license fee (current year only) (Nebraska Real Estate Commission, one-time)

NREC fees are non-refundable. The retake fee within one year of application is the same as the exam fee. A salesperson license expires at the end of the calendar year in which it is issued, and the two-year renewal fee is $180.

Question 6

What languages is the Nebraska Real Estate Salesperson Examination offered in?

Accepted Answer

Not published by NREC / 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.
