The interactive test needs JavaScript. Here are sample questions with answers:

Question 1 Property Ownership

A seller removes a custom-built bookcase that was bolted into the wall studs of the living room before closing. The purchase contract says nothing about the bookcase. Which test most strongly supports the buyer's claim that the bookcase was a fixture?

The original purchase price of the bookcase
Whether the seller listed it on a personal property inventory
Whether the bookcase was built by a licensed contractor
The method of annexation to the structure Correct answer

Explanation: Bolting an item into the wall studs is a permanent method of attachment, which is one of the core legal tests (method of annexation) courts use to decide whether personal property has become a fixture. Because the contract was silent, the fixture tests decide ownership, and fixtures pass to the buyer with the real property.

Question 2 Property Ownership

A bakery tenant installed commercial ovens bolted to the floor of a leased storefront. When the lease ends, the ovens are best described as

fixtures that automatically become the landlord's property
emblements that belong to whoever occupies the property
trade fixtures the tenant may remove before the lease expires Correct answer
appurtenances that run with the land

Explanation: Equipment a commercial tenant installs to conduct its business is a trade fixture and remains the tenant's personal property. The tenant may remove it before the lease ends, repairing any damage caused by the removal.

Question 3 Property Ownership

Three siblings take title as joint tenants with right of survivorship. One sibling sells her interest to an outside investor. What is the result?

The sale is void because joint tenants cannot convey their interests
The investor holds a one-third interest as a tenant in common with the other two, who remain joint tenants between themselves Correct answer
The investor becomes a joint tenant with the two remaining siblings
The entire joint tenancy converts into a tenancy by the entirety

Explanation: A joint tenant may convey her interest, but the buyer does not share the unities of time and title with the others. The buyer therefore takes as a tenant in common, while the two original co-owners continue as joint tenants with each other.

What the Texas Real Estate Exam Covers

The Texas sales agent exam has two portions: a national portion with 80 scored items and a state portion with 40 scored items, plus unscored pretest items. Pearson VUE delivers it for the Texas Real Estate Commission (TREC). You take it after completing 180 hours of qualifying education, made up of six 30-hour courses.

National Portion

The national portion tests general real estate principles and practices, including math. Our bank covers property ownership, land use controls, valuation, financing, agency, contracts, transfer of title, practice of real estate and disclosures. These questions are shared with our real estate practice exam for all states.

Texas State Portion

The state portion covers the Texas Real Estate License Act (TRELA), TREC rules, promulgated contract forms and Texas practice. This real estate practice test for Texas includes 23 state questions on:

TREC’s makeup, qualifying education, Sales Agent Apprentice Education and continuing education.
Sponsorship: who is responsible for a sales agent’s acts and what happens when sponsorship ends.
The Information About Brokerage Services notice and the Consumer Protection Notice.
Intermediary rules, appointed license holders and what may not be disclosed.
Promulgated contract forms, advertising rules, referral fees and the Recovery Trust Account.

The six qualifying courses mirror these topics: Principles of Real Estate I and II, Law of Agency, Law of Contracts, Promulgated Contract Forms and Real Estate Finance.

Real Estate Math

Math is part of the national portion. Expect commission splits, prorations, loan-to-value, property tax and area calculations, each with the full working shown in our explanations.

Scoring Explained

You must score at least 70% on each portion, national and state, according to TREC rules. Our practice exam uses that 70% pass mark on the results screen. Each passed portion is valid for one year, so if you pass only one, retake the other within that window.

The section breakdown shows whether national topics or Texas law is pulling your score down. That matters: TREC reports that first-time takers from December 2022 to February 2023 passed the national portion at 71% and the state portion at 63%. The exam fee is $43, paid to the exam provider, under the TREC fee schedule effective December 15, 2025.

Tips to Pass the Texas Real Estate Exam

Treat the state portion as its own exam. Study the national material first, then give Texas law and the contract forms dedicated weeks. Plan your schedule with a study planner for exams, keep your test date in view with the exam countdown and check current rules on the TREC sales agent page.

Take a Free Practice Exam Every Day
