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.
