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 December 2025, there are 103 approved pre-license schools in Alabama. Of those, 71 schools had students who took the Alabama Salesperson Exam for the first time within the past year. Among those schools, 33 (46%) had a first-time pass rate below 60%, while 38 (54%) achieved a pass rate above 60%.

Regarding the Alabama Broker License Exam, 16 of the 103 schools had first-time takers during the same 12-month period. Of those, 11 schools (71%) had a pass rate below 60% while only 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.
