A real form is 150 questions in 3 hours, requiring at least 70% correct. The times above preserve the live pace of 72 seconds per question. Timed mode submits when the countdown expires, including after a refresh. Use its breakdown as a diagnostic, not a pass prediction.
What this California real estate mock exam gives you
A useful practice result should explain what was measured, what needs work, and what the score cannot prove.
Original questions with complete teaching
The bank contains 249 original questions. Every official DRE subtopic has foundation and application coverage, and every answer has a substantive explanation.
A diagnosis, not a promise
The score report separates misses, uncertain correct answers, and confident misconceptions. It does not claim to predict a live DRE result.
How to take a practice exam that produces useful evidence
The set matters, but the conditions and review method determine whether the result improves the next study session.
- 01
Choose a useful set length
Select 25 questions for a quick diagnosis or 50 for a broader signal. The real salesperson examination contains 150 questions, and the full timed version is in the app.
- 02
Choose test mode or study mode
Use test mode to keep answers hidden until the end, or study mode to receive the explanation immediately after each response.
- 03
Optionally record confidence before answering
If you like, mark whether you are confident or not sure before selecting an answer, so the result can separate knowledge from a lucky guess. You can skip it and answer straight away.
- 04
Complete the weighted set
Answer without notes or outside help if you want a clean diagnostic. Use the displayed pace target if timing is part of the test.
- 05
Repair missed and uncertain rules
Use the area breakdown and question review to relearn specific rules, then confirm the correction on fresh questions rather than immediately repeating the same set.
Why weighting matters
Equal question counts can create a distorted result
Suppose an unweighted set gives fifteen questions to every area. Transfer of Property, approximately 8% of the live exam, becomes 14% of that practice set. Practice and Disclosures, approximately 25% of the live exam, also becomes 14%. The score would overstate one area and understate the other. Weighted allocation keeps the practice emphasis closer to DRE's published outline.DRE describes every percentage as approximate and says a specific test may not cover every listed subject. This site therefore uses the weights for allocation and planning, never as a claim about the exact composition of an individual live form.
DRE content weights and examination caveatWhat the 70% threshold means here
Official rule
The live salesperson examination contains 150 multiple-choice questions, provides 4 choices per question, lasts 3 hours, and requires at least 70% correct. That is the DRE standard.
DRE taking the examinationHonest limitation
A private 25 or 50-question result is not an official score or pass prediction. Use it to find rules and decisions to repair, then confirm improvement on fresh questions under realistic pacing.

California real estate practice exam questions
Is this California real estate practice exam free?
Yes. Choose 25 or 50 questions, receive every answer explanation, and view the complete score report without creating an account, entering an email address, or paying.
How many questions are on the California real estate salesperson exam?
The official salesperson examination has 150 multiple-choice questions, four choices per question, and a three-hour time limit. Candidates must correctly answer at least 70% to pass.
Does this practice exam follow the official California DRE content weights?
Yes. Each set uses DRE's approximate weights of 25%, 17%, 15%, 14%, 12%, 9%, and 8% across the seven content areas. Integer rounding changes the exact count in shorter sets, so the builder displays every allocation before you begin.
Are these actual questions from the California real estate exam?
No. Every question is original and written to the official DRE topic list. DRE does not release its live question bank, and California law prohibits unauthorized reproduction or use of actual examination questions to prepare applicants.
Does 70% on this mock mean I will pass the DRE exam?
No. Seventy percent is the official threshold on the live salesperson examination, but DRE does not validate private practice scores. A shorter set cannot reproduce the live form's exact questions or difficulty. Use fresh results, timing, complete topic coverage, and declining repeated errors together.
Should I choose 25 or 50 practice questions?
Use 25 questions for a quick diagnosis and 50 for a broader signal across the seven areas. Neither is a full 150-question simulation. The full-length, three-hour timed exam is in the Pass California app, on the web and on Android.
What is the difference between test mode and study mode?
Test mode hides correct answers until the final result so earlier explanations cannot influence later responses. Study mode reveals the answer and explanation after each question. Use test mode to measure and study mode to learn.
Does every practice question include an explanation?
Yes. Every question explains the governing rule or calculation and addresses the tempting mistake. Arithmetic questions also show working when it materially helps. The result screen collects missed and uncertain answers into an expandable review queue.
Does the California DRE exam have a separate passing score for each content area?
DRE publishes one overall salesperson passing threshold of at least 70%. It does not publish a separate passing mark for each area. This site's weighted repair index only helps order study after a private set.
How should I review a California real estate practice exam?
Review every miss and every answer marked not sure. Identify whether the cause was a rule gap, scenario error, calculation, reading mistake, or timing problem. Relearn the rule, answer focused questions, then verify the correction in a fresh weighted set.
