Before booking, a candidate must complete a 60-clock-hour Real Estate Fundamentals course and a 30-clock-hour Real Estate Practices course, and must take the exam within 2 years of finishing them. PSI offers the exam at a test center or remote proctored. Source: Washington State Department of Licensing — Exam: Real estate brokers (2026-09-22) |

| Questions | At least 130 questions Scored items only: 100 on the national portion and 30 on the state portion. PSI says unscored experimental questions may be added and count against exam time, but publishes no number, so the true number on screen may be higher.

| Time limit | 240 minutes The sum of the two portions: 150 minutes for national and 90 minutes for state. The tutorial of up to 15 minutes is not counted. Source: PSI Services LLC — Washington Real Estate Commission Candidate Information Bulletin (dated 3/28/2024) (2026-09-22) |
| Passing score | Not published by PSI / Washington DOL (scale range) PSI states that each portion requires a scaled score of 70 and that the scaled score is not a percentage, but it publishes neither the scale's range nor the raw number of correct answers, so PrepPass does not render the mark as a percentage. You must pass both portions within 6 months of each other; a failed portion is retaken alone, otherwise both must be retaken.

| Fees |
PSI's fee is non-refundable and non-transferable and is forfeited if you do not test within 1 year of PSI receiving it. The bulletin does not state a separate price for retaking a single portion. Fingerprinting (through IdentoGo) and the licence fee are separate and not included here.

| Languages offered | Not published by PSI / Washington DOL Neither the PSI bulletin nor DOL's exam page states the language(s) the exam is offered in; both were searched for “language”, “English” and “Spanish”. PrepPass therefore names no exam language.
