Try it freeCalifornia blends national real estate principles with a dense body of state-specific law — the Real Estate Law, agency disclosure duties, trust fund handling, and disclosure statutes like Transfer Disclosure Statements — and it's easy to answer a question correctly under a "general" rule while missing the California-specific twist the exam is actually testing. Cambo reads the exact scenario and explains which rule, national or California, the correct answer is built on.
150 multiple-choice questions, covering both national real estate principles and California-specific law, taken over a 3-hour testing window.
70%, meaning at least 105 of the 150 questions answered correctly.
135 hours across three DRE-approved courses: Real Estate Principles, Real Estate Practice, and one approved elective.
As many times as needed within your 2-year application window — California has no fixed retake limit — though you'll pay the exam fee again each attempt and must wait for your prior result before scheduling the next one.
