FAQ’s

Why are high pass rates important?2025-03-16T21:13:52+00:00

A Texas Real Estate School’s exam pass rate is a key indicator of how well it prepares students to obtain their Texas Real Estate License. Generally, a higher pass rate suggests that students completing the course were well-prepared for the licensing exam, having benefited from effective exam preparation. At School Estate, our courses are specifically designed for easy comprehension and include frequent knowledge checks to maximize our students’ chances of passing the Texas Real Estate License exam on their first attempt. Choosing the right Texas Real Estate School with a strong pass rate is crucial to avoid wasting time and money on repeated attempts of the Texas Real Estate License exam.

What is required to qualify for a real estate license?2025-03-16T21:11:46+00:00

To qualify for a Texas Real Estate License, you must meet three fundamental requirements set by the Texas Real Estate Commission (TREC):

  • You must be at least 18 years of age.
  • You must be a U.S. citizen or a lawful permanent resident. (Please note that DACA recipients do not currently qualify for a Texas Real Estate License).
  • You must meet TREC’s character requirements, which encompass standards for honesty, trustworthiness, and integrity.

While a criminal record doesn’t automatically disqualify you from obtaining a Texas Real Estate License, it will necessitate a more detailed review process. You can find further information on this here. Choosing the right Texas Real Estate School can help you understand these requirements thoroughly. See Licensing Steps here.
