Idaho state real estate practice test material by outline section
The questions follow the state exam content outline of the Idaho Real Estate Candidate Handbook: duties and powers of the Commission, licensing requirements, license law, brokerage representation, and Idaho principles and practices. License law is the largest section there and here. The outline's calculations section is arithmetic and is left out. Exam mode asks 40 questions, the outline's count of scored items for salespersons.
What Idaho writes differently
Idaho's Brokerage Representation Act replaces the common law of agency: a buyer or seller stays a customer until a written representation agreement is signed, and the duties owed to a client are not fiduciary unless the parties agree to more in writing.
Earnest money goes to the broker immediately and into the trust account on or before the next banking day (Idaho Code 54-2045).
A broker's own funds in a real estate trust account may never exceed $300 (Idaho Code 54-2042).
Records are kept three calendar years after the year the transaction closed (Idaho Code 54-2049).

The Idaho Real Estate Candidate Handbook of July 2024 lists 80 scored items for the national part and 40 for the state part of the salesperson exam (50 for brokers), plus unscored pretest items. Candidates get four hours.
What score do you need to pass the Idaho real estate exam?
The handbook reports a passing point of 70 for the salesperson exam and 75 for the broker exam on a scale of 0 to 100, which is not a percent of questions. This page shows your count right and makes no pass or fail call.
Are these the real Idaho real estate exam questions?
No. They are our own, written from the Idaho Code. This site has never seen the exam, and no licensed Idaho broker or attorney has reviewed the answers yet. The national part and its math are outside this page.
