Pass your real estate salesperson licensing exam — the written test that stands between you and your license. RealtyPrep turns the whole national exam into a game you can finish in a few minutes a day, and it adapts to your state. YOUR STATE'S RULES, BUILT IN Most study apps teach one generic answer. RealtyPrep asks which state you're licensing in — California, Texas, Florida, New York, or Georgia — and the state-law questions adapt: pre-license hours, exam passing score, renewal cycle, continuing-education hours, who runs your closings, and more. Switch states any time in Settings and every answer follows. 392 QUESTIONS ACROSS THE WHOLE EXAM A guided path of 21 units covers every national content area the salesperson exam tests: property ownership and rights, deeds and title, agency and fiduciary duties, listings and contracts, financing and loan programs, valuation and the three approaches, disclosures and environmental hazards, fair housing, ethics, and the real-estate math — plus a dedicated unit for your state's license law. Multiple choice, typing, matching, and true/false keep every lesson fresh, and every answer is explained. SIT THE EXAM BEFORE YOU SIT THE EXAM The full-length Practice Exam mirrors the real thing: 100 questions, 75 correct to pass, scored the moment you finish so you know exactly where you stand — no early stop, just like exam day. SMART REVIEW THAT REMEMBERS FOR YOU Spaced repetition tracks every fact you've seen and brings back the ones you're about to forget — weakest first. A readiness score climbs as your exam date approaches, so you walk in confident instead of guessing. MADE FOR BUSY PEOPLE • Daily goals, streaks, and gentle reminders keep you consistent • Hearts, XP, and a game map make studying feel like play • Works entirely offline for studying — no account, no sign-up FREE TO START, PREMIUM TO TEST Every lesson and daily practice is free, ad-supported.
