Our appraiser question bank covers all 10 content areas of the 2026 AQB outline at the same difficulty level you will encounter on the actual exam. Each question includes a detailed explanation of why the correct answer is right and why the other options are wrong, helping you build deep understanding of appraisal concepts rather than surface-level memorization.

Each exam consists of 125 questions (110 scored, 15 unscored pre-test items). Time depends on level: 4 hours for Licensed Residential and Certified Residential, 6 hours for Certified General. The passing scaled score is 75.
AQB develops and maintains the National Uniform Licensing and Certification Examination. Your state appraiser regulatory agency selects the approved testing provider (Pearson VUE, PSI, or another vendor) and scheduling process.
