Exam Instructions
1. Read each question carefully and select the single best answer.
2. All questions are weighted equally. There is no penalty for guessing.
3. The Texas Real Estate Broker exam consists of two portions: National (80
scored questions) and State (50 scored questions). Passing requires 60
correct on national and 38 correct on state questions (70% each).
4. The state law portion includes 10 case-study items — narrative cases and
contract cases built on TREC-promulgated forms — which distinguishes
the broker exam from the sales agent exam.
5. You may not use notes, textbooks, or electronic devices during the actual
exam.
6. Record your answers on the provided answer sheet.
SECTION I: REAL PROPERTY CHARACTERISTICS &
LEGAL DESCRIPTIONS (Questions 1–20)
1. Which of the following is NOT a physical characteristic of land?
A) Immobility
B) Indestructibility
C) Nonhomogeneity
D) Situs
, Correct Answer: D ✅✅
Rationale: The four physical characteristics of land are immobility (land cannot be
moved), indestructibility (land cannot be destroyed), nonhomogeneity (no two
parcels are identical), and area (land has a defined surface). Situs is an economic
characteristic, not a physical one. Situs refers to the location of a property relative
to the market and its economic value. Options A, B, and C are all physical
characteristics of land.
2. In a metes and bounds legal description, the "point of beginning" is:
A) The center of the property
B) The starting point of the survey, usually at a corner of the property
C) The highest point of elevation on the property
D) The centerline of the nearest road
Correct Answer: B ✅✅
Rationale: In a metes and bounds legal description, the point of beginning (POB) is
the starting point of the survey, typically at a corner of the property. The description
proceeds from this point using directions and distances (metes) and natural or
artificial boundaries (bounds) until it returns to the POB. Options A, C, and D are
incorrect definitions.
3. The rectangular survey system divides land into:
A) Townships, ranges, and sections
B) Metes and bounds
C) Lots and blocks
D) Plats and subdivisions
Correct Answer: A ✅✅
Rationale: The rectangular survey system (also called the government survey
system) divides land into townships, ranges, and sections. A township is 6 miles
