Arkansas Real Estate Exam Prep

Everything you need to know to prepare for the Arkansas real estate licensing exam. If you're planning to take the Arkansas real estate exam, it helps to know exactly what to expect—how the test works, what topics it covers, and how to study effectively. This guide walks you through everything you need to feel confident on exam day.

What is the Arkansas Real Estate Exam?

The Arkansas real estate licensing exam is administered by Pearson VUE, under the direction of the Arkansas Real Estate Commission (AREC). It consists of two sections for salespersons:

National Portion: 85 multiple-choice questions on general real estate topics like contracts, agency, and property ownership
State Portion: 40 multiple-choice questions specific to Arkansas laws, licensing rules, and regulations

For brokers, the exam is a single 130-question test covering both national and Arkansas-specific content.

You'll take the exam at a Pearson VUE testing center. The total testing time is 4 hours for both salesperson and broker exams.

To pass, you need a scaled score of 70 or higher. Arkansas uses statistical equating to account for differences in exam difficulty, so your score represents performance relative to the passing standard rather than a simple percentage.

You can find detailed testing policies and procedures in the Arkansas Real Estate Candidate Handbook.

What Topics Should You Study?

The exam is based on content outlines provided by the Arkansas Real Estate Commission and Pearson VUE.

National Topics

Property ownership and land use controls
Laws of agency and fiduciary duties
Property valuation and market analysis
Real estate financing concepts
Laws of contracts
Transfer of title
Leasing and property management
Real estate calculations
Practice of real estate and disclosures

Arkansas-Specific Topics

Arkansas Real Estate License Law
Arkansas Real Estate Commission rules and regulations
State-specific disclosure requirements
Arkansas contract law and approved forms
Trust account management and supervision
Disciplinary procedures and violations
Arkansas-specific real estate practices

Studying the official content outline and reviewing Arkansas statutes—especially the Real Estate License Law—will help you prepare efficiently.

How to Prepare for the Exam

Before scheduling your exam, you'll need to complete a 60-hour pre-licensing course approved by the Arkansas Real Estate Commission.

Once eligible to test, the best next steps include:

Reading the Candidate Handbook to review format, policies, and what to bring on exam day
Practicing with full-length exams to get used to timing and question types
Reviewing flashcards or outlines of key terms, formulas, and Arkansas-specific rules
Studying licensing law and real estate statutes through the Arkansas Real Estate Commission website
