What you just sampled
DRE publishes an approximate weight for each of its seven content areas. Use those weights to put this sample in context, then study the topics you still need to understand. A short quiz cannot tell you how you will perform on the full exam.

- 17%Laws of Agency and Fiduciary Duties
- 15%Property Ownership and Land Use Controls and Regulations
- 14%Property Valuation and Financial Analysis

DRE, Taking the ExamWhat this cannot tell you
Five questions is a direction finder, not a score
The examination is 150 questions over 3 hours, and you must answer 105 of them correctly to pass. No five-question set can estimate that result, and anyone who tells you otherwise is selling something. What this page can honestly do is show you which areas felt unfamiliar, and show you how the explanations are written before you spend anything.
Common questions
Are these real California real estate exam questions?
No. They are original Pass California questions written to DRE's published salesperson examination outline, not copied examination items. Business and Professions Code section 123 makes reproducing actual examination questions a misdemeanor with damages to $10,000, and section 10153.01 lets the Commissioner bar a candidate from the examination for up to three years. DRE does not release its live question bank.
Is this free, and do I need an account?
No account and no email. You can answer all 5 questions, read the explanation for every option, see your result and follow the review links without signing up or entering payment details. Complete results before any signup is a stated product rule, not a limited-time offer.
What does a score out of 5 tell me?
It shows how you handled 5 sampled concepts and points at the content areas worth reviewing. It is not a pass prediction. The examination is 150 questions over 3 hours with a 70% pass mark, so use a longer weighted set before deciding you are ready.
Which California exam areas do these questions cover?
Practice of Real Estate and Disclosures (25%), Laws of Agency and Fiduciary Duties (17%), Property Ownership and Land Use Controls and Regulations (15%), Property Valuation and Financial Analysis (14%), Contracts (12%). Together those five official DRE content areas are 83% of the examination. California publishes a weight for every area, which is why this page can tell you exactly how much of the exam you just sampled.
How do I know the answers are right?
Every question names the primary California authority it turns on, beside the explanation rather than in a footnote, so you can check it. These are the same questions the Pass California app serves, under the same ids, so a correction made once reaches both.
