Arizona Real Estate Exam Day: What to Expect at Pearson VUE
What to bring, how Arizona's 180-question exam works, score reporting, and strategies for passing with a 75% score.
Arizona's salesperson exam is administered by Pearson VUE. Here's what to expect on exam day.
What to Bring
- Two valid IDs (one government-issued photo ID)
- Pearson VUE confirmation number
- Nothing else — all items in a locker
The Exam
- 180 questions (100 national + 80 Arizona) — the most of any major state
- 3.5 hours (~70 seconds per question — tighter than most states)
- Passing: 75% (135/180)
- Score reported immediately
Use the flag function to mark uncertain questions. First pass: confident answers quickly. Second pass: flagged questions. Allow 30-40 minutes for second pass.
Pacing is More Important in Arizona
70 seconds per question is tighter than Florida (126 seconds) or Georgia (158 seconds). Don't spend 3-4 minutes on any single question — flag it and move on.
Score and Retaking
Score appears immediately. If you fail, retake after rescheduling — no waiting period. Retake fee: $75. Score report shows content areas to strengthen.
Exam Strategy
Arizona state questions: ADRE Commissioner structure, ARS Title 32/Chapter 20, 3-year renewal, SPDS requirements, imputed knowledge rule, community property signing requirements.
National questions: Financing (TRID, deed of trust), fair housing (7 federal classes), valuation (cap rate), contracts (essential elements).
On uncertain questions: Arizona exam questions favor answers that require disclosure, protect consumers, and hold licensees accountable for their knowledge and their salesperson's knowledge.
