The Washington exam at a glance
Washington has no salesperson title: the entry-level 'Broker' exam maps to the app's salesperson track (100 national/150min + 30 state/90min = 130, 240min total, 70%) and the 'Managing Broker' exam maps to the app's broker track (90 national items scored to a 100-point scale/150min + 44 state items scored to a 48-point scale/90min = 134, 240min total, 75%). PSI administers both; national and state portions are scored separately. Verified 2026-07-27 against PSI bulletin #4658 — the entry-tier ('salesperson') total time was stale (210min instead of 240).
