Real estate exam passing scores by state
Every state sets its own line. Texas and California pass you at 70%, Florida at 75 out of 100, and New York reports only pass or fail.
| Texas | 56 of 80 national and 28 of 40 state, 240 minutes |
|---|---|
| Florida | 75 of 100, 3 1/2 hours |
| California | 70% of 150 (105 right), 3 hours |
| New York | Pass or fail, 1 1/2 hours |
How the line works
Texas reports a raw score: the number right. Each portion is passed on its own, so a strong national score cannot rescue a weak state score.
Florida grades out of 100 points, every question equal. California counts the share right and tells you your score only if you fail.
Aim above the line
- Unscored pretest questions are mixed in on the Texas exam: answer every question.
- None of these exams takes marks off for a wrong answer, so never leave one blank.
- Practice until you clear the line with room to spare on full-length tests.
