A

8

Eight hours is not the Massachusetts continuing education requirement β€” it is a common distractor because some states do require fewer hours, and test-takers may recall a lower number from studying other states' requirements or from outdated information.

B

12

Correct Answer
C

14

Fourteen hours is not the Massachusetts requirement and does not correspond to any standard Massachusetts real estate CE mandate β€” this option is designed to catch test-takers who remember the number is in the teens but guess too high.

D

18

Eighteen hours significantly overstates the Massachusetts CE requirement and would correspond to a more demanding standard than Massachusetts has adopted β€” this option targets test-takers who know the requirement is meaningful but overestimate the specific number.

Why is this correct?

Massachusetts regulations governing real estate licensee continuing education, administered through the Massachusetts Board of Registration of Real Estate Brokers and Salespersons, require 12 hours of continuing education per two-year renewal cycle. This requirement applies to both salespersons and brokers and must be completed before a license can be renewed. The 12-hour requirement reflects Massachusetts' determination that this is the appropriate minimum investment in ongoing professional development for active licensees.
