What this exam covers
5 real sample questions
What license title does Washington use for a licensee who may supervise other brokers and perform brokerage management functions, roughly equivalent to what many other states simply call 'broker'?
A. Supervising agent
B. Managing broker
C. Senior broker
D. Principal broker
Show answer and reasoning

Correct answer: B. Managing broker

RCW 18.85.011 defines 'managing broker' as a person who performs brokerage services under a designated broker's supervision and who may supervise other brokers or managing brokers licensed to the firm.

  • A: 'Supervising agent' is not a term defined or used in Washington's real estate licensing chapter.
  • C: 'Senior broker' is not a license category created anywhere in RCW 18.85.
  • D: 'Principal broker' is not a defined Washington license title, though similarly named titles exist in other states' statutes.
Source: RCW 18.85.011
How often must a Washington real estate broker or managing broker renew their license, once past the first renewal?
A. Every three years
B. Every four years
C. Every two years
D. Every year
Show answer and reasoning

Correct answer: C. Every two years

RCW 18.85.211 sets the license renewal cycle for Washington real estate brokers and managing brokers at every two years.

  • A: A three-year cycle is longer than what RCW 18.85.211 actually requires.
  • B: A four-year cycle is longer than what RCW 18.85.211 actually requires.
  • D: Annual renewal is not the cycle Washington uses; the statute specifies a two-year period.

How many clock hours of continuing education must a Washington real estate licensee complete each standard two-year renewal cycle?
A. 15 clock hours
B. 90 clock hours
C. 8 clock hours
D. 30 clock hours
Show answer and reasoning

Correct answer: D. 30 clock hours

RCW 18.85.211 requires a minimum of 30 clock hours of continuing education instruction every two years to renew a Washington real estate license.

  • A: Fifteen clock hours is half of the actual 30-hour requirement set by statute.
  • B: Ninety clock hours is the pre-license and first-renewal education requirement, not the standard recurring continuing education requirement.
  • C: Eight clock hours is far below the 30-hour continuing education minimum set by RCW 18.85.211.
Source: RCW 18.85.211
In Washington State, what is the title of the entry-level real estate license that most other states call a 'salesperson'?
A. Real estate broker
B. Real estate agent
C. Associate broker
D. Real estate salesperson
Show answer and reasoning

Correct answer: A. Real estate broker

Washington's entry-level license, defined in RCW 18.85.011, is titled 'real estate broker,' not 'salesperson' as in most other states.

  • B: 'Real estate agent' is an informal industry term, not a license title defined or used in RCW 18.85.
  • C: 'Associate broker' is a license title used in some other states but does not appear in Washington's licensing statute.
  • D: 'Real estate salesperson' was Washington's former terminology under a prior version of the chapter but was replaced by 'broker' in the current RCW 18.85.
Source: RCW 18.85.011
Under Washington law, a firm's designated broker must hold what type of license?
A. A separate 'designated broker' license category with its own exam
B. A managing broker license plus a business owner's permit
C. A managing broker license endorsed as 'designated broker'
D. A real estate broker license only
Show answer and reasoning

Correct answer: C. A managing broker license endorsed as 'designated broker'

RCW 18.85.011 defines a designated broker as a person whose managing broker's license receives a 'designated broker' endorsement from the department, so the underlying license is a managing broker license.

  • A: Washington does not create a freestanding 'designated broker' license or exam; it is an endorsement added to an existing managing broker license.
  • B: There is no separate 'business owner's permit' referenced in RCW 18.85 for designated brokers.
  • D: A basic real estate broker license alone does not satisfy the designated broker requirement, since RCW 18.85.111 requires the higher managing broker license for that role.
