California · the full exam
Free California real estate practice questions
These free California real estate practice questions cover the salesperson exam the DRE writes and administers itself — trust-fund handling, DRE licensing and discipline, the Real Estate Recovery Fund, the Transfer Disclosure Statement and Natural Hazard Disclosure, agency, valuation, financing and contracts.
California is unlike most states: one combined 150-question exam, three hours, passed at 70% overall, with no separate national and state portions to pass independently — and no Pearson VUE or PSI national outline underneath it. Every question is original, written to the DRE's own seven content areas, and comes with a full explanation.
