Choosing a real estate school is an investment. The most critical metric for your Return on Investment (ROI) is the First-Time Exam Pass Rate. We aggregate and analyze official data reports from TREC and Pearson VUE covering 11/1/2023 to 10/31/2025 with over 30,138 exams tracked to reveal which schools actually prepare students to pass.
If a school has a pass rate below 56.27%, they are statistically underperforming the market. You are more likely to fail than to pass.
These 7 real estate schools provided the qualifying education hours to 94.6% of all first-time exam takers between 11/1/2023 to 10/31/2025. High volume ensures the percentage is statistically significant.

The 22 providers on this list range from school districts to small startups. A wide range of pass rates and effectiveness but they’ve all had less than 500 first-time attempts of the sales agent exam during the 24 month period in this dataset.
