Two components — general (80 scored items) and Utah state law (50 scored items) — scored separately on a scaled score, not a percentage of questions correct. Fail one and you retake only that one, but you have six months to do it.
240 minutes for both components
Wait 24 hours, then rebook through Pearson VUE — not at the test center. Retake only the failed component, and do it within six months or the whole exam resets. Remember the 90-day application deadline starts the day you pass the second component.
Pre-license education: 120 hours. Two deadlines run at once: apply within 90 days of passing both components, and within 12 months of completing your 120 hours of prelicense education.

Ninety days to apply — the tightest window in the country
You must apply for the license within 90 days of passing both components. Miss it and you retake the examination. If the 90th day falls on a weekend or national holiday, the next business day is your last chance.

A second clock runs on your education
Separately, you must apply within 12 months of completing your prelicense education. Miss the education deadline and you retake the 120 hours; miss both deadlines and you retake the exam and the education.

Six months to finish the half you failed
Pass one component and fail the other and you retake just the failed one — within six months. After six months without both passed, the entire examination goes again.

Wait 24 hours before rebooking
Candidates must wait a full 24 hours after failing before making a reservation to retake, and reservations cannot be made at the test center.

Your score is scaled, not a percentage
Raw scores are converted to a scaled score, and the handbook says outright that it is neither the number nor the percentage of questions you answered correctly. Numeric scores go only to failing candidates.

Licensee practice is a third of the state component
15 to 17 of 50 items — agency, disclosures, improper practices, and the approved forms including the REPC. Definitions and the Recovery Fund together are five. The bulletin publishes ranges, not fixed counts, so treat these as weights.

No exam review, ever
For security reasons examination material is not available to candidates for review. The failing score report’s diagnostic breakdown is all you get.

Five to ten unscored pretest items
The state component carries 50 scored items plus 5 to 10 unmarked pretest items that do not count toward your score but do sit inside your time.

Utah real estate exams are typically administered at approved testing centers by PSI or Pearson VUE. Some states allow remote proctored exams. Check with UDRE for current online testing options and requirements.
The Utah real estate exam covers both national and state-specific topics. National topics include property ownership, contracts, financing, agency law, valuation, transfer of title, and real estate math. The UT-specific section covers Utah license law, regulations from UDRE, and state-specific disclosure requirements.
The most effective study strategy for the Utah exam includes: (1) completing your pre-license education with active note-taking, (2) practicing with Utah-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 UT-specific laws and regulations from UDRE.
You must pay the $69 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 UDRE. Your pre-license education completion is usually valid for 1-2 years, so you should pass within that window.
The pass point for the Utah salesperson exam is 70. Where the exam has separate national and state portions, each portion is passed on its own; where the state reports a scaled score, 70 is the scaled pass point rather than a percentage of questions. The state average first-time pass rate is 54%, so thorough preparation is essential.
Yes, the Utah real estate exam is entirely multiple choice with four answer options per question. The salesperson exam has 130 questions; the broker exam length is published by UDRE. There are no essay, fill-in-the-blank, or practical components.
