Pass Fail Ratio for The North Carolina Real Estate Exam for December, 2017

    The North Carolina Real Estate Commission released the December 2017 statistics for the North Carolina real estate exam today.

     Seven hundred forty seven real estate license applicants took the North Carolina real estate exam in December 2017.  Four hundred and fifty nine passed the comprehensive real estate exam.  That is a sixty one per cent pass rate.  That is the second best month in 2017.  The worst month in 2017 had a 52% pass rate.

     The North Carolina real estate exam is not easy.  It is not cheap either.  Those applicants that did not pass will be back at the test center paying $164 to take this exam again.  Let me explain how the North Carolina real estate exam works.

    When an applicants takes the North Carolina real estate exam the first time, there are 140 questions.  One hundred of the questions are in the "national"  portion of the test.  Forty of the questions are in the "North Carolina "  portion of the test.  The "national" portion of the exam is questions that are the same everywhere, like "What are the seven protected groups under the Fair Housing Act?".  A test applicant would need to get 71 of these questions correct.   Forty questions are on the "North Carolina "  portion of the test.  A test applicant would need to get 29 of these 40 questions correct to pass.  These are questions that are unique to North Carolina like, "How many members of the North Carolina Real Estate Commission must be a licensed real estate broker?".
The North Carolina real estate exam is not easy

      If a real estate exam applicant fails either one of these portions of the North Carolina real estate  exam, that applicant will be back at the test center paying $164 to try again.

     You may wonder how do the repeat test takers fare.  In December of 2017, forty three people took the "national"  portion for the second or third or fourth time.  Twenty eight license applicant passed.  That is a 65% pass rate.  Two hundred forty six applicants took the "North Carolina "   portion for the second, third or fifth time.  One hundred and thirty seven passed.  That is a 58% pass rate.

     Do not underestimate the North Carolina real estate exam.
