Arizona Real Estate Broker pass rate & how retakes work
PrepPass has not verified whether Arizona Department of Real Estate (ADRE) publishes a pass rate for the Arizona Real Estate Broker exam, so we are not going to give you a percentage. Some exam authorities publish pass rates in annual or sunset-review reports rather than on their exam pages, and others genuinely publish none — until we have read the authority's own documents for this exam, we would only be guessing which it is. What we can tell you is that any exact "Arizona Real Estate Broker pass rate" figure you find on a prep site that does not cite an authority document is an unofficial estimate. Ask what it cites. The passing standard is a different thing from a pass rate, and for this exam it is published: 75%. Confirm it on Arizona Department of Real Estate (ADRE) before you rely on it.
The best way to pass on the first try
Retakes cost time and, often, another exam fee — so the goal is to pass the first time. The most reliable way is to practice real questions until you consistently clear the standard you need. PrepPass has 593+ free Arizona Real Estate Broker practice questions with answer explanations and a full timed mock exam — no signup required.

Is there a published Arizona Real Estate Broker pass rate?
We don't know, and we would rather say so than guess. PrepPass has not yet read Arizona Department of Real Estate (ADRE)'s own publications for this exam, so we cannot tell you either that a pass rate exists or that one does not. Both claims are claims about the authority, and both need a source.
This matters more than it sounds. Pass rates often sit somewhere other than the exam page — in an annual report, a legislative sunset review, or a statistics dashboard. California's contractor board, for one, publishes its Law & Business pass rate in a report to the Legislature and nowhere else, which is why almost no prep site has it. So the absence of a figure on the registration page is not evidence that none is published.
Until we have checked, treat any exact "Arizona Real Estate Brokerpass rate" percentage you find online as an unofficial estimate unless it links to an authority document you can open yourself.

What is the Arizona Real Estate Broker pass rate?+
PrepPass has not verified whether Arizona Department of Real Estate (ADRE) publishes one, so we do not state a figure. Any exact percentage you see on a prep site that does not cite an authority document is an unofficial estimate rather than a number from the exam authority.
What score do you need to pass the Arizona Real Estate Broker exam?+
The published passing standard is 75%. That is the authority's figure, not ours, and it is a passing SCORE — the bar you personally have to clear — not a pass RATE. Confirm it on Arizona Department of Real Estate (ADRE) before you rely on it.
What happens if you fail the Arizona Real Estate Broker exam?+
You can retake it. The authority may require a waiting period between attempts, so check the official page for the current rule. Working through practice questions until you consistently clear the standard you need is the most reliable way to do better next time.
Who regulates real estate brokers in Arizona?+
The Arizona Department of Real Estate (ADRE) licenses brokers and salespersons. ADRE contracts with Pearson VUE to deliver the licensing exams.
What experience do I need before the Arizona broker exam?+
A.R.S. § 32-2124(A)(1) requires an original broker applicant to have been an active licensed real estate salesperson or broker for at least three years during the five years immediately preceding application — the statute counts active licensure, not hours worked, so there is no full-time test. The applicant must also complete a 90-classroom-hour broker course at a commissioner-certified school and pass an examination on it (§ 32-2124(C)); the 27-hour Arizona-specific portion of that course cannot be waived. Under § 32-2136 a broker management clinic consists of three courses of three hours each, and an original broker license applicant must attend one before activating the license.
How is the Arizona broker exam structured?+
The Arizona broker exam is administered by Pearson VUE with 180 scored questions (plus 15 unscored pretest items) over about 5 hours 15 minutes, and a score of 75% or higher is required to pass.
