The Oklahoma Provisional Sales Associate Exam is the licensing test aspiring real estate salespeople in Oklahoma must pass before they can practice. It's aimed at candidates who have not held an active real estate license in the past five years, and it's administered under the authority of the Oklahoma Real Estate Commission.
Overview
The exam is split into two separately scored parts: a national portion covering general real estate principles and an Oklahoma state portion covering state-specific laws and practice. The state portion draws from a defined set of content areas, weighted for salesperson candidates as follows:
- Laws and Rules Affecting Oklahoma Real Estate Practice — 20 items
- Oklahoma Broker Relationships Act — 8 items
- Property Management — 6 items
- Disclosures and Hazards — 6 items
Trust Accounts and Trust Funds and Broker Management are tested only on the broker-level exam, not the salesperson state portion.
Cost and registration
The exam fee is $75.00 per attempt, payable directly to Pearson VUE. Separately, the Oklahoma Real Estate Commission charges a $35.00 application processing fee and a $60.00 background check fee (paid to IdentoGO), and there is a provisional license issuance fee due once the license is granted. Candidates should confirm current amounts against the Commission's official fee schedule, since fees are subject to change.
Exam format
The national portion consists of 80 scored items plus 5 unscored pretest items, delivered with a 150-minute time limit. The state portion consists of 40 scored items plus 10 unscored pretest items, delivered with a 90-minute time limit. Each portion requires a 70% scaled score to pass, and candidates who fail one portion only need to retake that portion.
