Question & Answer
Review the question and all answer choices
Two Years
Two-year terms would be too short to allow board members to develop meaningful expertise in the complex regulatory landscape of real estate licensing, and this term length is not consistent with Massachusetts statutory law for this board.
Three Years
Three-year terms are used by some other Massachusetts professional licensing boards but are not the term length established by statute for the Real Estate Board, making this a plausible but incorrect distractor.
Five Years
Seven Years
Seven-year terms would be unusually long for a state professional licensing board and would reduce accountability and the ability to introduce new perspectives — this term length is not established by Massachusetts law for the Real Estate Board.
Why is this correct?
Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 112 specifically establishes five-year terms for members of the Board of Registration of Real Estate Brokers and Salespersons, making answer C the correct and legally accurate response. The five-year term is a specific statutory provision that exam candidates in Massachusetts are expected to know as part of their understanding of the regulatory framework governing real estate practice in the Commonwealth.
