Washington Real Estate Broker Examination (National and State portions) — Exam facts
Administering bodyWashington State Department of Licensing (Real Estate Commission) — exam delivered by PSI Services LLC

Washington's entry-level licence is called Broker; there is no separate salesperson licence. 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.

QuestionsAt 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.

Passing scoreNot 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
  • $210 — Broker examination (PSI Services LLC, per attempt)

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 offeredNot 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.
