How We Create Our Content

Where Our Facts Come From

Each state’s real estate exam is given by a testing company, usually PSI or Pearson VUE, under rules set by the state’s real estate commission. Our state facts (question counts, time limits, passing scores, fees, education hours and how to apply) come from those official sources:

• the state’s current candidate handbook from its testing company
• the state real estate commission’s website, laws and rules
• the national exam content outlines published by PSI and Pearson VUE
• for legal and financial concepts, standard pre-licensing definitions and authoritative references such as Cornell Law School’s Legal Information Institute, HUD, the CFPB and the IRS

If we can’t confirm a fact in an official source, we leave it out or tell you to check with your state.

How the Questions and Articles Are Checked

In October 2026 we researched and rewrote our articles and practice questions with the help of AI tools. AI drafted and organized; it was never the source of a fact. Every state fact was checked against the official sources above, and every answer we changed got a second, independent review before it went live. Chris reviews the content as well.

Every practice question has an explanation, so you can see why the right answer is right. When we update a page, we recheck its state facts against the current handbook, and the page shows the date it was last updated.

What We Are Not

We’re an independent study site. We aren’t connected with any state real estate commission, PSI or Pearson VUE, and our questions aren’t copies of real exam questions. Your state’s candidate handbook is always the final word on exam rules, so read it before you book your test.

Found a Mistake?

Rules change, and we want to know when something is out of date. Email realestateexamninja [at] gmail [dot] com with the page and what looks wrong, ideally with a link to the official source, and we’ll check it and fix it.
