Every domain on the blueprint

Real Estate Exam Topics

Each topic below maps to real domains on the official exam blueprint — the same domains the adaptive engine measures and your readiness report scores. For every one: what it covers, why candidates miss it, and the skills the questions actually test.

Real Estate Contracts

Offer and acceptance, counteroffers, contingencies, options, and promulgated forms — what the exam tests, why candidates miss it, and how adaptive practice finds your contract gaps.

2 blueprint domains

Agency & Brokerage

Fiduciary duties, representation, intermediary practice, and compensation — the highest-weight state topic, and the one where 'protect the buyer' instincts cost the most points.

2 blueprint domains

Financing & Settlement

Loan types, LTV, points, amortization, TRID timing, and closing — where vocabulary and arithmetic meet, and where partial knowledge shows fastest.

1 blueprint domain

Property Ownership & Title

Estates, co-ownership, deeds, recording, and chain of title — the domain where one wrong word (joint vs common) flips the answer.

2 blueprint domains

License Law & Regulation

TREC authority, licensing requirements, standards of conduct, advertising, and trust accounts — the rules that end careers when broken, tested in detail.

3 blueprint domains

Real Estate Math

Commissions, prorations, area, loan math, and taxes — a small domain with outsized fear. Most misses are setup errors, not arithmetic.

1 blueprint domain

Real Estate Practice

Fair housing, advertising, disclosures, and everyday brokerage practice — the wide domain where the exam tests judgment, not just definitions.

2 blueprint domains

Florida Brokerage Relationships

Transaction broker, single agent, no brokerage relationship — Florida's Chapter 475 relationship rules are unlike any other state's, and the two areas that test them carry 19 of 100 scored questions.

2 blueprint domains

Florida License Law

Chapter 475, FREC's makeup and powers, license qualifications, renewal, and the discipline pipeline — the areas where the Florida exam tests exact numbers, and guessing 'close' scores zero.

3 blueprint domains

Florida Condos & Property Rights

Estates and tenancies, plus Florida's condominium, cooperative, HOA, and time-share rules — including the post-Surfside inspection regime and rescission windows that older prep material gets wrong.

1 blueprint domain

Florida Exam Math

Documentary stamp taxes, intangible tax, prorations, and closing-statement entries — Florida's math is mostly its own tax arithmetic, and it's where exam-day time pressure bites hardest.

2 blueprint domains

California Agency & Disclosures

The AD form regime, dual agency done legally, and the new buyer-representation agreement law — Laws of Agency and Fiduciary Duties carries 17% of the California exam, and its rules changed more in 2024-2025 than in the prior decade.

1 blueprint domain

California License Law

Who needs a license, the 135-hour education pipeline, discipline, and the Consumer Recovery Account — the licensing slice of Practice of Real Estate, the exam's biggest area at 25%.

1 blueprint domain

Prop 13 & Prop 19 Taxes

The 1% rule, the 2% cap, reassessment events, and Proposition 19's transfer rules — California property taxation is unlike any other state's, and Prop 19 rewrote the answers many prep courses still teach.

1 blueprint domain

California Exam Math

Documentary transfer tax, prorations, Prop 13 arithmetic, commission splits, and loan math — California's calculations are woven through four exam areas, and most misses are setup errors, not arithmetic.
