AREC Releases Latest Pre-License School Pass-Fail Rates

The Alabama Real Estate Commission (“AREC”) published its monthly statistics on the pass-fail rates of the state’s pre-license schools. The statistics reflect data from the previous 12 months and focus on the performance of first-time exam takers

As of November 2025, there are 102 approved pre-license schools in Alabama. Of those, 70 schools had students who took the Alabama Salesperson Exam for the first time within the past year. Among those schools, 32 (46%) had a first-time pass rate below 60%, while 38 (54%) achieved a pass rate above 60%.

Regarding the Alabama Broker License Exam, 17 of the 102 schools had first-time takers during the same 12-month period. Of those, 12 schools (71%) had a pass rate below 60% while five schools (29%) had a pass rate above 60%.

These statistics provide valuable insight into the effectiveness of pre-license education programs and can help prospective licensees make informed decisions when selecting a school.
