What is the Illinois real estate exam format?
The Illinois broker exam has 100 scored national questions and 40 scored Illinois questions. PSI lists 150 minutes for national and 90 minutes for Illinois. Each portion has its own passing requirement: 70/100 national and 75% Illinois, equivalent to 30/40. Check PSI’s June 24, 2026 examination table.
These forms follow those counts and separate time limits. The actual exam may also include 5 to 10 unscored questions that use examination time. Our practice forms have no experimental items.

Form A
Start here with a mix of core concepts and transaction decisions.
Form B
Return after studying the topics you missed on your first attempt.
Form C
Keep this set for a later attempt with questions you have not read.
Each form has different prompts. The forms use the same topic counts, but we have not established equal difficulty through statistical testing. Their national and state banks are also used in the corresponding 100-question national and 40-question Illinois simulations. If you have already studied those answers, choose an unread form for a more useful check.
What should I study for each portion?
The national portion covers real estate principles and practices. The Illinois portion tests licensing, state law, and required disclosures. A state-law exception should not be assumed to apply everywhere. In a question that gives specific contract terms or a jurisdiction, use those facts.

These are the broker allocations in the PSI content outline. This page is for the entry-level broker examination, not the managing broker or residential leasing agent examination.
What does my practice score tell me?
Your two scores answer different questions. For example, 90/100 national with 29/40 Illinois meets only the national benchmark. A 69/100 national result with 40/40 Illinois meets only the Illinois benchmark. At 70/100 and 30/40, both practice benchmarks are met.
A passing practice result is a starting point for review. Read the explanations for guesses as well as mistakes. Small topic samples can swing sharply with one question, so use the topic breakdown to decide what to study, not as a precise readiness forecast.
- Identify the gap. Start with a portion below its benchmark. Within it, look at the topics with the most missed questions.
- Explain the rule in your own words. For a legal scenario, identify the person, duty, deadline, and any exception. For math, write the formula and units before calculating.
- Practice again after studying. Use an unread form. If you repeat one, distinguish remembering the answer from understanding the rule.

Questions students ask
How many questions are on the Illinois real estate broker exam?
There are 140 scored questions: 100 national and 40 Illinois. PSI may also include 5 to 10 unscored experimental questions within the examination time. These practice forms contain 140 scored practice questions and no experimental items.
How long is the Illinois real estate broker exam?
The PSI Candidate Information Booklet dated June 24, 2026 lists 150 minutes for the national portion and 90 minutes for Illinois. These practice forms use separate timers. Unused national time does not extend the Illinois timer. Follow the instructions for your actual appointment.
What score do I need to pass?
PSI lists 70 correct out of 100 for national and 75% for Illinois, equivalent to 30 out of 40. You must pass each portion separately. The national raw score of 70 represents the same passing standard previously reported as a scaled 75. A practice score is not an official result or a prediction of passing.
Is the full practice exam free without signing up?
Yes. All three 140-question forms, answer explanations, sources, and downloadable review reports are free. You do not need an email address, account, payment, or app. Each form also has a public answer key that works without JavaScript.
Can I save my place or pause the timer?
Progress saves in this browser when local storage is available. An active portion’s timer keeps running if you leave or close the page. This practice tool allows a break before starting Illinois; it does not promise the same break rules at your PSI appointment. Switching devices or clearing browser data does not preserve this attempt.
Are these actual PSI questions or the same questions as the app?
These are original practice questions based on public topics and sources, not actual or recalled PSI items. They share the national and Illinois subject areas studied in the app, but they are not a claim of identical app questions. The corresponding free national and state simulations reuse these banks, so previously seen items are not a fresh assessment.
Sources, scope, and review
The content cutoff is September 6, 2026. Source checks for this revision were completed on September 7. The exam structure follows the PSI Candidate Information Booklet dated June 24, 2026. Each answer links to the relevant legal or educational reference.
Federal questions use sources such as CFPB, HUD, EPA, FTC, and the U.S. Department of Justice. Illinois questions cite the applicable Illinois statutes and administrative rules. California DRE educational chapters are used for general real estate concepts, not as authority for Illinois law or for current California licensing requirements.
Pass Illinois is independent of PSI and IDFPR. These are original educational questions, not actual, recalled, or reconstructed exam questions. The questions are available for independent subject-matter review; this page does not claim a named expert’s approval or a validated pass rate.
