Directions: Select the single best answer for each of the 150 multiple-choice questions. Each question offers four
options (A through D), and exactly one option is correct. Because this is the verified master edition, the correct choice
is marked inline with the designation [CORRECT], and every item is followed by a Correct Answer line and a
rationale of two to three sentences explaining why the keyed answer satisfies Barney Fletcher curriculum and
licensing-exam standards while the remaining options reflect common misconceptions, computational errors, legal
misreadings, or ethical lapses. Sections 1 through 8 progress from principles and ownership through contracts, agency,
finance, valuation, mathematics, regulation, and ethics, and the fifteen mathematics items plus the fifteen ethics and
fair housing scenarios mirror the weighting of the licensing examination. Candidates preparing for a proctored sitting
should attempt each section under timed conditions (about 72 seconds per question) before reviewing the keyed
rationales. A score of 75 percent or higher across all eight sections indicates readiness for the state licensing
examination.
Section 1: Real Estate Principles & Practices Questions 1-25
Q1. Which of the following is NOT one of the rights included in the bundle of rights associated with
ownership of real property?
A. The right of compensation [CORRECT]
B. The right of exclusion
C. The right of disposition
D. The right of control
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The bundle of rights consists of the rights to possess, control, enjoy, exclude others from, and dispose of the
property. Compensation is not an ownership right; it is the payment owed to an owner when the government exercises
eminent domain and takes the property for public use. Options B, C, and D are all core elements of the bundle of rights
as taught in the Barney Fletcher principles curriculum.

Q2. A seller removes an expensive chandelier from the dining room the day before closing and replaces it
with a plain fixture. The buyer demands that the original chandelier remain with the house. Applying the
standard tests of a fixture, what is the MOST likely outcome?
A. The seller wins, because the chandelier was a personal gift from a relative
B. The buyer wins, because the chandelier was attached to and adapted to the structure and its removal was
intended to defeat the sale [CORRECT]
C. The seller wins, because sellers may always remove decorative personal taste items
D. The buyer wins, because all light fixtures must be listed in the purchase contract
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: A chandelier that is attached to and adapted to the house is a fixture, and the key fixture test is the intention
of the parties at the time of attachment, judged by objective facts. Removing it at the last minute to substitute a plain
fixture shows an intention to defeat the bargain, so it stays with the real estate. The gift history and the absence of
contract language do not convert an attached fixture back into personal property.
Q3. A commercial tenant installs a large pizza oven bolted to the floor of a leased restaurant to operate its
business. The lease is silent on the topic. At lease expiration, what is the status of the oven?
A. It automatically becomes real property and stays with the building
B. It becomes the landlord's personal property regardless of when the tenant acts
C. The tenant may remove it as a trade fixture before the lease ends, repairing any damage caused by the
removal [CORRECT]
D. It must remain, because anything bolted down can never be removed
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Under the Barney Fletcher curriculum, a trade fixture is an article of personal property installed by a tenant
for use in a trade or business, and it remains the tenant's personal property even though attached to realty. The tenant
may remove it before the lease expires but must repair damage caused by the removal. If the tenant abandons it after
expiration, it may become the landlord's property by accession.
Q4. A farmer signs a one-year farm lease ending November 30 and plants a wheat crop in September that
cannot be harvested until the following June. The landlord sells the farm effective December 1, and the new
owner claims the standing wheat. Who is entitled to the crop?
A. The new owner, because growing crops are part of the real estate
B. The former landlord, because the lease created the right
C. The state, under the doctrine of escheat
D. The tenant farmer, because emblements are personal property and an annual crop planted by a tenant
belongs to the tenant [CORRECT]
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Emblements are annual crops produced by labor, treated as personal property, and a tenant who planted them
in good faith retains the right to enter, cultivate, and harvest them even after the tenancy ends. The new owner takes the
land subject to the tenant's right of entry to harvest. Growing crops sold with the land is a different situation; here the
tenancy, not a sale of crops, controls.

Q5. A landowner cuts mature trees on her land and has them milled into lumber for sale. How is the lumber
classified?
A. Personal property, because the act of severance converted the trees from realty to chattels [CORRECT]
B. Real property, because the trees were part of the real estate
C. Real property until the lumber is delivered to a buyer
D. Personal property all along, because trees are never real property
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Standing trees are part of the real estate, but severance is the act that converts real property into personal
property. Once cut and milled, the lumber is a chattel that can be conveyed by a bill of sale. The classification follows
the current state of the item, not its original status.
Q6. The owner of Parcel A holds a recorded right to drive across Parcel B to reach a public road. Parcel A is
sold. What happens to the crossing right?
A. It terminates automatically upon the sale
B. It becomes an easement in gross held by the new owner
C. It passes automatically with Parcel A as an easement appurtenant, with Parcel A as the dominant tenement
[CORRECT]
D. It must be renegotiated with the new owner of Parcel B
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: An easement appurtenant benefits a particular parcel of land and passes automatically with the dominant
tenement when that land is conveyed, whether or not the deed mentions it. Parcel A, which benefits from the easement,
is the dominant estate, and Parcel B is the servient estate. An easement in gross, by contrast, benefits a person or
company rather than a parcel.
Q7. Which of the following is a GENERAL lien?
A. A judgment lien [CORRECT]
B. A mortgage lien
C. A mechanic's lien
D. A property tax lien
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: A general lien attaches to all of a debtor's real and personal property, and judgment liens, estate and
inheritance tax liens, and income tax liens are the classic examples taught in the Barney Fletcher materials. Mortgage,
mechanic's, and property tax liens are specific liens because they attach only to the particular property that gave rise to
the debt.

Q8. A neighbor's storage shed extends two feet over the adjoining owner's surveyed boundary line, and
neither party has gone to court. How should this situation be classified?
A. An easement created by the placement of the shed
B. An encroachment, which the burdened owner may have removed, and which ripens into a prescriptive
easement only if it remains open, notorious, and hostile for the statutory period [CORRECT]
C. A surrender of the strip to the neighbor by operation of law
D. A license that either party may revoke
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: An encroachment is the physical intrusion of a building or other improvement onto another's land without
permission. It is not an easement, and the burdened owner may seek removal; only after the statutory period of adverse,
open, and notorious possession could the neighbor claim title or a prescriptive right. A license is a granted permission,
which does not describe an unauthorized intrusion.
Q9. A property owner gives a nearby church written permission to park cars on an unused lot every Sunday,
and the owner states the permission may be withdrawn at any time. What interest does the church hold?
A. An easement appurtenant
B. An easement in gross
C. An easement by prescription
D. A license, a revocable personal privilege that is not an interest in land [CORRECT]
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: A license is merely a personal, revocable permission to use another's land for a specific purpose and creates
no estate or interest in the land. Because the owner reserved the right to revoke, the church has no enforceable easement.
Licenses are not assignable and typically terminate on the death of either party or on the sale of the property.
Q10. Which method of legal description relies on a point of beginning, courses and distances, and natural or
artificial monuments?
A. Metes and bounds [CORRECT]
B. The rectangular (government) survey system
C. The recorded plat (lot and block) method
D. The street address method
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The metes and bounds method describes a parcel by starting at a well-marked point of beginning and tracing
the boundary by courses (bearings) and distances, often referencing monuments such as stones, trees, or stakes. The
rectangular survey uses base lines, meridians, townships, and ranges, while the recorded plat method identifies a lot and
block within a recorded subdivision map.
