In the right place?
In Illinois, broker is the entry-level real estate license. Managing broker is the higher license for people who manage or supervise others. Illinois does not issue a salesperson or sales associate license, so Pass Illinois uses broker language throughout.

04 · PASS
Use the Ready result as your final check before PSI. By test day, Illinois rules, math setups, and common question traps should already feel familiar.
The Illinois difference
PSI scores the national and Illinois portions separately. Pass Illinois tracks them separately too, so a strong national score cannot hide a weak Illinois score.
Content areas
Content areas
The current broker exam has 140 scored questions and allows 240 minutes across both portions. PSI may add 5 to 10 unscored questions, which still use exam time. You must pass each portion separately. If you fail one, you repeat only that portion. After a fourth unsuccessful attempt, a broker candidate must repeat the 75-hour pre-license program and the entire exam.

Illinois exam prep FAQ
The app should earn trust before it asks for a download. These are the questions candidates usually ask first.
There is no single answer because every candidate starts with different strengths. The Illinois broker exam has two separately scored portions: national real estate principles and Illinois licensing law, agency, contracts, disclosures, and related rules. A strong score on one portion does not make up for a failing score on the other.
Pass Illinois tracks readiness for each portion and focuses your practice on the topics and calculations in the current Illinois and PSI outlines.
The current PSI table lists 100 scored national questions with 150 minutes and 40 scored Illinois questions with 90 minutes. That is 140 scored questions and 240 minutes, or four hours, across both portions. PSI may also add 5 to 10 unscored questions, and those questions still use exam time.
The national passing standard is 70% raw, which PSI says is equivalent to the former scaled score of 75. The Illinois passing standard is 75%. You must pass both portions, but a candidate who fails only one repeats only the failed portion.
Illinois uses “broker” for its entry-level real estate license and “managing broker” for the higher license associated with management and supervision. Illinois does not issue a real estate salesperson license.
Pass Illinois uses Illinois terminology throughout, so the language on screen matches the language on your exam.
The current national broker outline includes seller net proceeds, buyer funds needed at closing, tax and other prorations, transfer fees, PITI estimates, equity, rate of return or capitalization rate, LTV, discount points, and loan origination fees. It also covers structure and land measurement, valuation approaches, and mortgage underwriting concepts such as debt ratios.
The Illinois outline includes transfer taxes. The Illinois state tax is $0.50 per $500 of value, a county may add $0.25 per $500, and a home-rule municipality may charge an additional transfer tax. Always use the rates given in the question.
No. Pass Illinois includes a limited free tier. If you want the full app, you can unlock it with one $59.99 payment. There is no monthly plan or subscription.
It is exam preparation content, not a replacement for the required 75-hour Illinois pre-license course, IDFPR processes, PSI scheduling, or licensed professional advice.
No. We do not copy or reproduce live exam questions. Pass Illinois uses original practice questions built around the current national and Illinois content outlines.
Pass Illinois is independent and not affiliated with IDFPR or PSI.
