How to Pass the Florida Real Estate Sales Associate Exam
The fastest way to raise your score is to study what the exam is actually built to test. Florida’s Sales Associate exam is closed-book, and it covers real estate principles, practices, law, and math from Chapter 475, Florida Statutes, Part I and Chapter 61J2, Florida Administrative Code. The exam is 100 multiple-choice questions, you get 3.5 hours, and it’s organized across 19 content areas.
That’s why studying by state-tested categories is such a smart strategy: you cover the right material, identify weak areas faster, and build consistency across the exact topics Florida is testing.
A proven study plan:
- Study by the 19 state-tested content areas (not random topics)
- Practice timed, exam-style questions and focus your time on weaker categories
- Take your state exam soon after your prep while the material is fresh
What to Expect on the Florida Real Estate State Exam
Here’s what Florida says to expect:
- Format: 100 multiple-choice questions, closed-book
- Time: 3.5 hours
- Passing score: 75 points or higher
- Content: 19 content areas (principles, practices, law, and math)
- Testing vendor: Scheduled/administered through Pearson VUE
Study the Florida Laws and Rules the Exam Is Built On
Florida provides a printable law booklet that gives direct access to Chapter 475 and 61J2. It’s not a study guide, and Florida notes it’s updated continuously, so it’s smart to reference the official statutes/rules for the latest wording.
This is especially helpful when you’re reviewing heavily tested areas like license law, disclosures, escrow/trust accounts, and commission rules.
Requirements to Sit for the Florida Real Estate Exam
Florida requires that Sales Associate applicants:
- Be at least 18 years old
- Have a high school diploma (or equivalent)
- Complete the 63-hour pre-licensing course (unless exempt)
- Bring proof of course completion to the test center (Florida requires the certificate at the exam vendor)
Important testing-day note: Florida requires you to present your pre-licensing completion certificate each time you test, and the course completion is valid for two (2) years from completion.
Requirements to Sit for the Florida State Exam
Before you can sit for the state exam, Florida requires proof you completed the approved 63-hour pre-license course. Your course completion is valid for two (2) years from the date of completion. The course completion certificate is not required at the time you submit the application, but it is required at the test center.
Pearson VUE reschedule/cancel rule: To avoid penalty, changes must be made two full calendar days before the exam.
Scheduling, Rescheduling, and Test-Day Rules
Florida’s candidate booklet states that if you need to cancel, you must contact Pearson VUE at least 2 days prior to your appointment—later changes or missing your exam may forfeit fees.
Plan to arrive early, bring proper ID, and follow test-center security rules so there are no surprises on exam day.
If You Don’t Pass: Exam Reviews, Retakes, and Next Steps
If you fail, Florida allows an exam review of your most recent attempt. You’re permitted to review only the questions you answered incorrectly, and the request must be made within 21 days of the exam date. Reviews are held at a Pearson VUE testing center under exam-like security rules.
Easing Test Anxiety on Exam Day
Most students feel nervous, it’s normal. The goal is to keep nerves from stealing your focus.
Quick ways to calm your mind and stay sharp:
- Use slow breathing (a simple inhale/hold/exhale pattern can help your body settle)
- Stick to a plan: answer what you know first, flag tougher questions, then return
- Confidence comes from reps: practice exams and category drills help you feel familiar with exam pressure
