Arizona salesperson preparation covers two examinations: 80 scored General items and 60 scored State items, each with five pretest questions.

The short answer

Arizona salesperson preparation covers two examinations: 80 scored General items and 60 scored State items, each with five pretest questions. The February 2026 handbook gives a 75% passing standard. Study the Arizona outline separately instead of relying on a strong general score.

Understand the two examination blocks

The February 2026 Arizona handbook lists the salesperson General examination as 80 scored questions plus five pretest items, with 150 minutes. The State examination has 60 scored questions plus five pretest items, with 90 minutes. Pretest questions are not identified, so give every item a serious answer.

The handbook describes the passing score as 75% correct. Treat each required examination as its own result; a combined practice average does not show that both are ready. A learner can understand national property concepts well while still missing Arizona-specific duties.

These are salesperson specifications. The broker examination and out-of-state recognition categories have different listings and should not inherit this table automatically.

Use the current Arizona outline

The State outline effective January 1, 2026 includes Arizona’s regulatory framework, licensing requirements, supervision, agency, licensee duties, disclosures, skill and care, contracts and transaction services. Read those headings as decisions to practise, not merely vocabulary to memorise.

For example, distinguish who owes a duty, when disclosure is required and what the transaction facts change. A contract scenario may require a state-specific action even when the underlying agreement resembles a familiar national question. Review the precise current outline rather than importing an old school summary or a broker-only topic weighting.

Measure readiness without inventing a pass rate

This guide does not claim an Arizona statewide first-attempt pass percentage. A school’s marketing figure may describe its own students, a different reporting period or a different examination. It is not a substitute for clearly defined official statistics.

Use your own evidence instead: record the topic, why the answer was wrong and whether the error recurs on an unfamiliar question. Rehearse the General and State time blocks separately. If the State block runs slowly, reduce repeated reading by identifying the actor and required action before considering the choices.

Connect the study plan to the actual booking

The Arizona delivery guide explains physical Pearson centers and combination booking. Review the final reservation to make sure it includes every required examination. A practice result is neither official eligibility nor a licensing score.

EstatePass is independent preparation, not an Arizona DRE-approved qualifying-education provider. Use the Arizona hub for study and the official programme for appointments and licensing records. A stronger study plan addresses both blocks before the next available seat becomes a reason to rush.
