The Montana real estate exam covers both national and state-specific topics.

The MT-specific section covers Montana license law, regulations from MBRR, and state-specific disclosure requirements.

The most effective study strategy for the Montana exam includes: (1) completing your pre-license education with active note-taking, (2) practicing with Montana-specific practice exams, (3) focusing on your weak topics identified through practice tests, (4) taking timed mock exams to build test stamina, and (5) reviewing MT-specific laws and regulations from MBRR.

You must pay the $95 exam fee for each attempt and typically wait at least 24-48 hours before rescheduling. Attempt limits and whether a failed portion can be retaken on its own are set by MBRR. Your pre-license education completion is usually valid for 1-2 years, so you should pass within that window.

The pass point for the Montana salesperson exam is 75. Where the exam has separate national and state portions, each portion is passed on its own; where the state reports a scaled score, 75 is the scaled pass point rather than a percentage of questions.
