I failed my IA real estate salesperson exam. Can I take it again?

The Iowa Salesperson Pre-licensure Exam consists of two sections. On the National section, you must correctly answer 56 of 80 multiple-choice questions to pass. Correctly answer 26 of 40 questions on the State section to pass.

You are tested on national and state real estate-related content. Topics include property ownership, land use controls, financing, market analysis, property disclosures, and contracts. State-specific questions ask about Iowa-specific licensing, disciplinary actions, contracts, and real estate education topics.

No, personal calculators are not allowed for your Iowa state licensing exam.

You will need to bring one form of government-issued identification and your proof of education, education waiver, or letter of authorization with you to the test center. If you don’t have these, PSI will not admit you to take the exam, and you will lose your registration fee.

PSI does permit exam modifications in accordance with the ADA. Anyone requesting accommodations must fill out the accommodations request form in the Candidate Handbook and submit documentation from a medical authority or specialist about their limitations.

The Candidate Handbook details all security protocols for the PSI testing center. PSI requires personal belongings be placed in secure storage provided at each testing site before the exam. Electronic devices of any type, including personal calculators, smartwatches, and cell phones, are not allowed in the exam room.
