Texas Real Estate Exam Practice

Question 1 of 5

TREC Rules & StandardsEasy

What must a Texas broker license applicant generally hold before applying, beyond passing the broker exam?

ANothing beyond simply passing the broker exam

BA four-year law degree from an accredited university, regardless of circumstances

CPrior ownership of a licensed brokerage firm

DActive sales agent experience for a set minimum period

Explanation

A broker applicant generally needs a set minimum period of active sales agent experience before applying, in addition to passing the exam — a law degree isn't required, prior brokerage ownership isn't required, and the experience requirement is real, not optional.

Question 2 of 5

TREC Rules & StandardsEasy

How many classroom hours of pre-licensing education does Texas generally require before taking the sales agent exam?

A12 hours, matching one CE renewal course, with no exceptions

BThere is no set hour requirement at all

C180 hours across the required core courses

D40 hours, matching a typical CE cycle

Explanation

Texas generally requires 180 classroom hours of qualifying pre-licensing education (across several required courses) before a sales agent candidate may sit for the state exam — that's a much larger figure than a CE cycle's hours, and there is a real, set requirement.

Question 3 of 5

TREC Rules & StandardsEasy

What are the two Legal Update courses Texas license holders generally must complete during each CE renewal cycle?

AAgency I and Agency II

BContracts I and Contracts II, the standard course pair

CLegal Update I and Legal Update II

DEthics I and Ethics II

Explanation

Texas CE renewal generally requires completing Legal Update I and Legal Update II specifically, by name — not a generically titled contracts, ethics, or agency course pair.

Question 4 of 5

TREC Rules & StandardsMedium

Can a licensed Texas sales agent operate independently, without a sponsoring broker?

AYes, after holding a license two-plus years

BYes, with extra continuing education

CYes, for transactions under a set dollar amount

DNo, a sales agent must always be sponsored

Explanation

A sales agent's license only permits them to practice under a sponsoring broker — there's no experience threshold, transaction-size exception, or amount of continuing education that allows independent practice. Only a broker's license allows that.

Question 5 of 5

TREC Rules & StandardsMedium

What is TREC's primary role regarding real estate license holders in Texas?

ADirectly employing every licensed sales agent

BLicensing and regulating brokers and sales agents

CNegotiating commission rates for all brokers

DSetting the sales price for every listing

Explanation

TREC licenses and regulates real estate brokers and sales agents — enforcing standards of conduct, education requirements, and discipline. It has no role in setting listing prices, negotiating commissions, or employing agents, who instead work under a sponsoring broker.
