Can I take my ID State Exam if I don't have a sponsoring broker?

The Idaho Salesperson Pre-licensure Exam consists of two sections. The National section will ask 80 multiple-choice questions. The State section will ask 40 multiple-choice questions. There may be 5-10 experimental questions that don’t count for your score.

You will be tested on national and state real estate-related content. Topics include property ownership, financing, valuation and appraisal, property disclosures, and contracts. State-specific questions ask about the Commission, licensing law, real estate calculations, and Idaho practices.

Personal calculators are not allowed at the Idaho state exam. An online calculator will be available.

You will need to bring (2) forms of identification. One must be state or federal government-issued, like a driver’s license or passport. The secondary form can be another primary ID or something which contains your signature, like a credit or debit card.

You must submit your state licensing exam score report with your license application. In this way, the commission will know that you have passed the exam.

You can take the state licensing exam as many times as you need as long as you do the retakes while your certificate of completion is still valid. If you are just retaking one section of the exam, you have to retake the other section within one year of the date you passed that one section.

The good news is you will leave the test center with an official score report in hand. Your exam results will appear on screen as soon as you complete the task, so there are no questions about how you performed.
