Wisconsin broker exam
What the Wisconsin broker exam tests, how it is scored, and 80 broker-track practice questions with cited sources.
Pearson VUE-administered exam for the Wisconsin Real Estate Examining Board. Salesperson 140 scored items in 4 hours; broker 100 scored items in 3.25 hours (195 min) -- both totals verified. Verified against the Pearson VUE Wisconsin Real Estate Candidate Handbook (#095000), 'Exam Time Limits' and the state content outlines, 2026-07-27. Wisconsin delivers a single combined sitting, not separately timed national/state portions, so this is modelled as 'combined' with a single overall timer and pass mark. The national/state item split (stateQuestionShare) is still a proportional estimate, not a published breakdown -- unchanged from the prior modelling, only no longer presented as two independently timed, independently scored sections it never was.
