What is the exam passing score?
Alaska uses a scaled scoring system rather than a simple percentage. This system assigns a number between 1 and 100, reflecting how close your performance was to the minimum passing standard.
To pass the Alaska Real Estate Salesperson exam, you must earn a scaled score of 75 or higher. This applies to the full 120-question exam, which includes both national and state-specific sections.
After completing the exam, your result will show as either “Pass” or “Fail.”
- If you pass, you'll receive a score report with instructions for applying for your license.
- If you fail, you'll get a diagnostic report that breaks down your performance by topic to guide your study for future attempts.
Note that Alaska requires you to pass the entire exam in one sitting. If you fail either the national or state section, you must retake the full exam — partial passing is not accepted.
