Arkansas requires 60 hours of pre-license education (30 in basic principles) from an AREC-approved school. The Pearson VUE exam has 80 national + 30 state scored questions, both at 70% passing. Minimum age is 18. After passing, you must apply to AREC within 90 days ($85 application fee if taking exam, or $160 if exempt). You must then complete post-license education within 6 months of initial licensure to remain active. All agency contracts must have a written expiration date (AREC Reg 8.3), all real estate agreements must be in writing, and trust accounts must be labeled 'trust' or 'escrow' at an FDIC-insured, non-interest bearing institution. Salespersons cannot deal independently of their principal broker.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many questions are on the Arkansas real estate salesperson exam?
The Arkansas salesperson exam has 110 scored questions: 80 national general questions and 30 Arkansas-specific state law questions. There are also 15 unscored pretest items (5 national + 10 state). You must score at least 70% on each section separately. Pearson VUE administers both portions.
What are the education requirements for an Arkansas real estate license?
Arkansas requires 60 hours of pre-license education from an AREC-approved school, of which at least 30 hours must be in the basic principles of real estate. After passing the exam, you must apply within 90 days and complete a post-license course within 6 months of initial licensure. Failure to complete post-license education causes your license to go inactive.
What are Arkansas trust account requirements for real estate?
Arkansas principal brokers must maintain a separate trust account (not their personal or business account) for all client funds. The account must be labeled 'trust' or 'escrow' and kept at an FDIC-insured institution. Generally, trust accounts must be non-interest bearing unless participating in the IREBTA (Interest on Real Estate Brokers' Trust Account) program. The principal broker is solely responsible for trust account compliance — no commingling is permitted.
Do Arkansas real estate agency contracts require an expiration date?
Yes. AREC Regulation 8.3 requires that all agency agreements have a definite written termination date. A listing or buyer agency agreement without a written expiration date violates Arkansas law and can result in disciplinary action. This is one of the most commonly tested state-specific topics on the Arkansas exam.
