| Questions | 140 questions (130 scored, 10 unscored pretest) Two separately taken parts: National Salesperson, 80 exam questions plus 5 pretest; State Salesperson, 50 exam questions plus 5 pretest. The totals shown add the two parts. Source: Pearson VUE — West Virginia Real Estate Commission Candidate Handbook (February 2026, #094900, rev01/2026) (2026-09-22) |
| Time limit | 210 minutes From the handbook's exam table: National Salesperson 150 minutes, State Salesperson 60 minutes; the figure shown adds the two. A generic line elsewhere in the handbook says candidates get “from 2 to 6 hours depending on the exam type”, which does not match the table.

| Passing score | Not published by WVREC / Pearson VUE The handbook describes a scaled score from 0 to 100 that “is neither the number of questions you answered correctly nor the percentage”, then lists “Passing score: Salesperson 70%”. Because the document calls the same figure both a scaled score and a percentage, PrepPass does not choose one. WVREC: an approval lasts 90 days or two attempts, whichever comes first, and you retake only the part you failed.

Pearson VUE's fee is charged per part, so both parts together cost twice the figure shown; it is non-refundable and non-transferable. The exam application fee is charged each time a new approval to test is needed.
