What is the pass rate for my exam?
There is no single Canadian real estate licensing exam, and no comparable national first-attempt pass-rate series for Ontario, BC, and Alberta. Published passing marks, course completion figures, and actual candidate pass rates are different measures. We will not turn estimates into a province ranking.
Know the difference.
Passing mark
The minimum score a candidate needs on a specific exam. This is an exam rule, not an indication that the same percentage of students pass.
Candidate pass rate
The percentage of candidates who passed within a stated period and cohort, ideally split by first attempt and exam. Without a public source and matching definitions, it cannot be compared responsibly.
Verify your provincial path.

BCFSA / UBC Sauder
British Columbia
UBC Sauder’s Trading Services Licensing Course exam is 100 multiple-choice questions, three hours, with a 70% passing mark. A passing mark is not the percentage of candidates who pass.
Official exam information ↗RECA
Alberta
Review current education and examination requirements with RECA and your approved provider; do not infer a pass rate from another province’s results.

Use your provider’s current exam outline, then practice across every required topic. Review the reasoning behind wrong answers; do not treat a practice score as a guaranteed outcome.

Compare like-for-like results, not province rankings
Canadian real estate licensing follows provincial pathways. A course result, an exam passing mark and the proportion of candidates who pass are different measures.
A worked study example
In an invented example, 60 passes among 100 first-time candidates is a 60% cohort pass rate. It says nothing about whether the passing mark is 60%, or whether your own chance of passing is 60%. Retake attempts would need a separately defined denominator.
What this does not tell you
Do not combine different provinces, exam versions, attempts or reporting periods into a national rate. No independently verified EstatePass learner pass rate is presented here.
