Repeated practice is what finds your weak spots.
A real estate practice exam only helps if it tells you what to study next. Ours does.
Each unit pairs a study guide, written like a script, with three videos. Watch them and follow along in your workbook before you touch a single practice question.
The QBank tests you only on that unit's material. Retake randomized practice tests for it as many times as you want until your average score is 85% or higher, then move to the next unit.
Once you're averaging 85% on a unit, the performance tracker shows your score broken out by which of the three videos each question came from. Scoring 90%+ on two videos but only 65% on the third tells you exactly which one to rewatch, then retest on just that video's questions.
Once every unit averages 85%, move to full-length practice exams on that side until you're averaging 85% there too. Then switch, National to State or State to National, and repeat.
Two exams, one program.
The Texas real estate exam has two separate portions. Our practice questions, videos, and study guides are organized to match both.
Covers real estate principles and practices tested nationwide, including contracts, agency, finance, and property ownership. The same core content whether you're licensed in Texas or anywhere else in the country. 80 scored questions plus 5 unscored pretest questions, 85 total, with 56 correct needed to pass.
Covers TREC-specific law, rules, and required disclosures unique to Texas. This is the section that trips up out-of-state study guides, ours is built for Texas specifically. 40 scored questions plus 10 unscored pretest questions, 50 total, with 28 correct needed to pass.
Both portions are graded independently and must be passed within one year of your TREC application. See our full exam-day FAQ for the complete path from coursework to test day.

QUESTIONS 1-6National Portion sample questions
Agency1. A real estate agent representing a buyer owes that buyer a fiduciary duty. Which of the following is NOT part of that duty?
- • Loyalty to the buyer's interests
- • Reasonable care and skill
- ✓ Guaranteeing the buyer the lowest possible price
- • Accounting for money handled on the buyer's behalf
Fiduciary duty covers loyalty, care, disclosure, obedience to lawful instructions, and accounting. It requires the agent to act in the buyer's best interest, it does not guarantee a specific price outcome.
Contracts2. What is "earnest money" in a real estate contract?
- • The agent's commission, paid upfront
- ✓ A deposit showing the buyer's serious intent to purchase, held in trust until closing
- • A fee paid to the seller for taking the home off the market
- • The down payment portion of a mortgage
Earnest money is a good-faith deposit from the buyer. It's held by a neutral third party and applied to the purchase at closing, or handled per the contract's terms if the deal falls through.
Finance3. What does "amortization" mean for a mortgage loan?
- ✓ Paying off a loan through scheduled payments that cover both principal and interest
- • A penalty charged for paying off a loan early
- • The lender's profit margin built into the interest rate

An amortized loan is repaid in regular installments. Each payment covers interest first, then principal, until the balance reaches zero at the end of the loan term.

- ✓ Joint tenancy

Joint tenancy includes the right of survivorship, a deceased owner's share automatically passes to the surviving joint tenant. Tenancy in common does not, each owner's share passes to their own heirs or estate.
Appraisal & Value5. Which approach to determining a property's value relies mainly on recent sales of comparable nearby properties?
- • Cost approach
- • Income approach
- ✓ Sales comparison approach
- • Capitalization approach
The sales comparison approach estimates value by comparing the subject property to similar properties that have recently sold nearby, then adjusting for differences.
Fair Housing6. Under the federal Fair Housing Act, which of the following is a protected class?
- • Income level
- ✓ Familial status
- • Employment history
- • Credit score
The Fair Housing Act protects against discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, national origin, familial status, and disability. Income level, employment history, and credit score aren't protected classes under the Act.
