Texas Real Estate Exam Pass Rate
There is no single national pass rate for the real estate licensing exam. Each state's commission or its testing vendor decides whether to publish results, and those that do report them in different ways, some by school and some by exam portion. For the current Texas figure, ask the Texas licensing authority rather than trusting a number quoted on a prep site, including this one.
What drives a pass rate is more useful than the raw number, because it is the part you control. This page covers why candidates fail and how to plan your prep around it.
Read the number carefully, if you can find one
Pass rates are published inconsistently. Some states release them, some do not, and the figures that circulate online are often stale, national rather than state-level, or blend first attempts with retakes into a single number that describes neither.
We do not publish a Texas pass rate here, because we would be repeating a figure we cannot verify. The Texas licensing authority and Pearson VUE are the only sources worth relying on, and it is worth asking them specifically for first-attempt rates.
What makes a pass rate misleading
First attempts blended with retakes, which pulls the number in whichever direction the retake population is larger.
National figures presented as state figures, when the state portion is exactly what varies.
Rates quoted by prep providers about their own customers, which is a self-selected group.
Old data reprinted without a date, when the exam or its passing standard may since have changed.
Why it matters less than it seems
A pass rate describes a population, not you. What predicts your result is whether you can score above the standard on questions you have not seen before, under time — which is a measurement you can take yourself, and a far more useful one than any published percentage.
