The Oregon real estate broker exam is the entry-level licensing test overseen by the Oregon Real Estate Agency, taken by anyone seeking to work as a real estate broker in the state. Candidates who complete their pre-license education sit for the exam through PSI, the Agency's testing services provider.
Overview
The exam is split into a national section and an Oregon state-law section, and the state section draws from several distinct content areas:
- Oregon Real Estate Related Statutes — 15 items
- Regulation of Broker Activities — 12 items
- License Law and Disciplinary Measures — 6 items
- Agency Law and Rules — 5 items
- Document Handling and Recordkeeping — 5 items
- Property Management — 4 items
- Handling of Clients' Funds — 3 items
Before sitting for either section, candidates must complete 150 hours of Agency-approved broker pre-license education.
Cost and registration
PSI charges a $75 examination fee to sit for the exam. Beyond the exam itself, the Oregon Real Estate Agency collects a separate $300 nonrefundable license application fee, and fingerprinting through PSI runs $61.25, paid directly at the exam site.
Exam format
The exam has two timed sections: 80 multiple-choice questions on the national section within 150 minutes, and 50 multiple-choice questions on the Oregon state-law section within 90 minutes. A score of 75% or better is required on both sections to pass, though a passing score on one section stays valid for 12 months if the other still needs a retake.
Frequently asked questions
How much does the Oregon real estate broker exam cost?
PSI charges a $75 examination fee, which is separate from the $300 nonrefundable license application fee paid to the Oregon Real Estate Agency.
What are the eligibility requirements to sit for the Oregon broker exam?
Candidates must be at least 18 years old and complete 150 hours of Agency-approved pre-license education before taking the exam.
What happens if I pass one section of the exam but not the other?
A passing score on either the national or state section stays valid for 12 months, so you only need to retake the section you failed within that window.
Can I retake the exam right away if I fail a section?
You cannot retest the same day, but you may retake the section as early as two days later depending on seat availability with PSI.
How often does an Oregon broker license need to be renewed?
After your first license period, which runs at least 13 months but no more than 24 months, renewals fall on a 2-year cycle.

The exam is administered by PSI on behalf of the Oregon Real Estate Agency, which oversees broker licensing statewide.
