Louisiana Real Estate Broker pass rate & how retakes work
PrepPass has not verified whether Louisiana Real Estate Commission (LREC) publishes a pass rate for the Louisiana 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 "Louisiana 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 scaled (of 100) on each portion. Confirm it on Louisiana Real Estate Commission (LREC) 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 471+ free Louisiana Real Estate Broker practice questions with answer explanations and a full timed mock exam — no signup required.

Is there a published Louisiana Real Estate Broker pass rate?
We don't know, and we would rather say so than guess. PrepPass has not yet read Louisiana Real Estate Commission (LREC)'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 "Louisiana 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 Louisiana Real Estate Broker pass rate?+
PrepPass has not verified whether Louisiana Real Estate Commission (LREC) 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 Louisiana Real Estate Broker exam?+
The published passing standard is 75 scaled (of 100) on each portion. 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 Louisiana Real Estate Commission (LREC) before you rely on it.
What happens if you fail the Louisiana 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 Louisiana?+
The Louisiana Real Estate Commission (LREC) licenses brokers and salespersons under the Louisiana Real Estate License Law, La. R.S. 37:1430 et seq. LREC's exams are delivered by Pearson VUE, which replaced PSI.
What experience do I need before the Louisiana broker exam?+
La. R.S. 37:1437(C)(1) requires a broker applicant to have first been licensed for four years, with two of those four years occurring immediately preceding submission of the broker license application, plus 150 hours of approved broker education — at least 30 hours of it on broker responsibilities (the Real Estate 203 course).
How is the Louisiana broker exam structured?+
135 scored questions in 240 minutes: an 80-question national portion in 150 minutes and a 55-question Louisiana state portion in 90 minutes, plus 5–10 unscored pretest items. Brokers must reach a scaled score of 75 out of 100 on each portion (salespersons need 70). That scaled score is not a percentage of questions answered correctly.
What does the Louisiana state portion actually test?+
Pearson VUE content outline #091901 splits the 55 items five ways: the Commission's duties and powers (4–6), licensing requirements (7–9), statutes governing licensee activities (13–15), the Louisiana civil law system (13–15) and the Louisiana law of agency (13–15). Because Louisiana is a civil-law state, half the exam is civil-law and agency material — immovables, usufruct, servitudes, lesion beyond moiety, redhibition, bond for deed, reconduction, the authentic act and La. R.S. 9:3891–3899.
