Specific Texas Real Estate Exam and Texas Broker Exam Content: There is no such thing as a "standard" Real Estate Exam. Most states have more than one exam (salesperson and brokers), and all states have varied content from each other. This is why we spend so much time preparing the individual content for the Texas real estate exam & broker exam, and keeping up with the changes as they occur in Texas.
Real estate Practice Exams and Real Estate Brokers Exams are organized into categories: When studying for your Texas Real Estate Exam or Texas Broker Exam it is important to know your areas of weakness. We have taken the time to divide up the content into categories such as Property Ownership, Practice and Disclosure, Contracts, Financing, Real Estate Math etc. Each Category is graded separately to make it easier to identify and focus on your areas of weakness. Also included are master Real Estate Practice Exams which incorporate all of the different categories into one test to simulate your actual Texas Real Estate Exam or Texas Real Estate Broker Exam.
Texas Real Estate Exam Questions and Texas Real Estate Brokers Exam Questions Are Constantly Updated: We constantly update all of our Texas practice questions, including our national practice questions, our explanations and answers, and other content. These all unite to give you the most comprehensive and up to date information for your Texas Real Estate Exam or Texas Real Estate Brokers Exam.

reservation to take the examination. The CIB also contains study
material and instructions about licensing (Note: you may download
a copy of the CIB from PSI's web site via the Candidate Info.
Brochure link in the menu on the left side of this web page).
The filing of an application authorizes an investigation of the
applicant's background. Information revealed in an investigation
may be cause for disapproval of an application even though other
requirements for a license are met. If an investigation is necessary,
it may not be conducted until the applicant has passed the examination.
State law prohibits issuing more than one license once a licensee
has defaulted on a student loan guaranteed by the Texas Guaranteed
Student Loan Corporation (TGSLC) unless the licensee has entered
into a repayment agreement with TGSLC. YOU SHOULD CONTACT TGSLC
BEFORE FILING THIS APPLICATION if you have defaulted on a student
loan. An application or renewal may be rejected if this agency
has received information from TGSLC that the applicant has defaulted
on a student loan. The Texas Guaranteed Student Loan Corporation
can be contacted at:

Before you can practice as a licensed salesperson you must arrange
for a Texas real estate broker holding an active license to sponsor
you as a salesperson. Applicants and inactive salespersons are
not authorized to act as real estate agents.
While you are not required to have a sponsoring broker to file
an application for a license, a sponsorship request form is included
with the application materials. If you wish, you may file the
sponsorship request along with the application. There is a separate
$20 fee for filing the sponsorship request. DO NOT COMBINE THE
$20 FEE WITH ANY OTHER FEE SUBMITTED TO TREC. Once all licensing
requirements have been satisfied, TREC will send an active salesperson
license to the broker, and you may act for the broker on receipt
of the license.
You may also file the application and arrange for sponsorship
after TREC notifies you that you have been issued an inactive
license. Once a broker holding an active license has mailed a
request to TREC to act as your sponsor and paid the $20 fee, you
may begin to act for the broker as a salesperson.
The time involved in processing an application depends on work
volume. Inquiry as to the status of an application delays processing

The examination must be passed within six months from the date
the application is filed with the commission office.

license is in the possession of your sponsoring broker.
