How much does the AK real estate salesperson license exam cost?

While you don't need to show proof of pre-license education when registering for the Alaska real estate salesperson exam, it's highly recommended you take the pre-license course first. The course prepares you for taking the exam and provides the essential knowledge for work as a licensed real estate salesperson.

Your pre-licensing course completion certificate is valid for 18 months. However, it must still be valid when you submit your license application. Since your test results are only good for six months, it's recommended that you take your state exam within one year of completing the pre-license course.
