Montana Real Estate Broker pass rate & how retakes work
PrepPass has not verified whether Montana Board of Realty Regulation publishes a pass rate for the Montana 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 "Montana 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: Scaled score of 75 on each portion. Confirm it on Montana Board of Realty Regulation 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 456+ free Montana Real Estate Broker practice questions with answer explanations and a full timed mock exam — no signup required.

Is there a published Montana Real Estate Broker pass rate?
We don't know, and we would rather say so than guess. PrepPass has not yet read Montana Board of Realty Regulation'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 "Montana Real Estate Brokerpass rate" percentage you find online as an unofficial estimate unless it links to an authority document you can open yourself.

A broker applicant must be at least 18, have a high school diploma or equivalent, and have been actively engaged as a licensed real estate salesperson for 2 years or have equivalent experience or special education as determined by the Board (37-51-302(2), MCA). The applicant must also furnish evidence of 60 classroom or equivalent hours beyond the salesperson requirement, completed within the 18 months before application, and show 30 points earned in the 36 months before application from transactions, qualifying degrees and designations, or brokerage supervision (ARM 24.210.611(9)).
How is the Montana broker exam structured?+
Two separately scored portions delivered by Pearson VUE: a national broker portion of 80 scored items plus 5 pretest items in 150 minutes, and a Montana state portion of 40 scored items plus 10 pretest items in 90 minutes — 120 scored items and 240 minutes in total. A passing score of 75 is required on each portion, and you retake only the portion you fail.
