The broker's state law portion, section by section
The Alaska Real Estate Law Content Outline, effective September 14, 2023, gives brokers 60 scored questions against the salesperson's 40: powers of the Commission 6, licensing 6, duties and disclosures to the public 9 to 11, requirements governing licensees 9, personal services agreements 4 to 6, property management 9, broker only 15. This bank holds 6, 6, 10, 9, 5, 9 and 15.
Broker only: fifteen questions the salesperson exam leaves out
The outline's last section is asked of brokers alone: trust accounts, supervision, place of business and recordkeeping. Here that covers the trust account and its $100 of the broker's own money, the three-step monthly reconciliation, the written contract with a stand-in broker, branch offices under an associate broker, and three years of records.
Commission leaves the trust account within 15 days after the transaction closes (12 AAC 64.240).
The recovery fund pays no more than $50,000 on any one licensee's account (AS 08.88.475).
Questions and answers
How many questions are on the Alaska real estate broker exam?
The content outlines give brokers 80 scored general questions and 60 scored state law questions, with unscored pretest questions mixed in. The Candidate Handbook allows four hours for the whole examination.
What score passes the Alaska broker exam?
The handbook gives a passing score of 75 on a scale of 0 to 100 that is neither the number nor the percentage of questions answered correctly. A candidate who fails one part retakes the entire examination.
What are the requirements for an Alaska broker license?
AS 08.88.171 asks for a passed brokers examination, an application within six months of passing, the approved broker education, and 36 months of active and continuous experience as a licensee within the 60 months before applying.
Are these the real Alaska broker exam questions?
No. Every question was written for this page from the Alaska Statutes and 12 AAC 64, and each answer is checked against the section it cites. The general portion and its arithmetic are not on this page.
