Alabama Real Estate Exam Day: What to Expect

Alabama's salesperson exam is administered by PSI. Here's what to expect.

What to Bring

• Two valid IDs (one government-issued photo ID)
• PSI confirmation number
• Nothing else — all items stored in a locker

The Exam

• 140 questions (100 national + 40 Alabama)
• 4 hours (~1:42 per question — comfortable)
• Passing score: 70% (98/140)
• Score reported immediately on screen

Use the flag function to mark uncertain questions and return during your second pass. Most candidates finish in 2-3 hours with time to review.

Score and Retaking

If you fail, the score report breaks down performance by content area. Study those areas before retaking. No mandatory waiting period — reschedule through PSI. Retake fee: $75.

Exam Strategy

Alabama state questions: AREC composition (9 members), Title 34/Chapter 27, trust account rules, disclosure requirements, 19-year-old minimum age (unique to Alabama).

National questions: Prioritize financing (TRID), fair housing (7 classes), and contracts (Statute of Frauds).

On uncertain questions: Choose answers that protect consumers and uphold professional licensing standards — AREC exam questions favor accountability.
