Arkansas practice exam questions
Is this Arkansas real estate practice exam free?
Yes. The practice exam on this page is free and needs no account. Each question shows the correct answer and an explanation as soon as you answer it. A free account lifts the daily limit and keeps your history.
How many questions are on the real Arkansas exam?
110 scored questions, with 240 minutes to answer them and 70% needed to pass. AREC publishes the current figures in its candidate handbook.
Does the practice exam cover Arkansas state law?
Yes. Our Arkansas bank holds 300 state-portion questions alongside 1,801 national ones, and the practice exam draws from both — the same mix the real exam uses.
What score should I get before booking the Arkansas exam?
Aim to sit comfortably above 70% on full-length practice, not just at it. Exam-day nerves and unfamiliar wording cost most candidates a few points, so a practice average that only just clears the line usually is not enough.
