Frequently Asked Questions

What is the format and length of the RIBO licensing exam?

The RIBO exam is a computer-based test consisting of 100 multiple-choice questions. Candidates are allotted 2.5 hours (150 minutes) to complete the examination. The questions are designed to test both knowledge recall and the application of concepts to practical brokerage scenarios.

What is the passing grade, and how is the exam scored?

The passing grade for the RIBO exam is 70%. The exam is scored electronically, and results are provided immediately upon completion. The score report indicates a pass/fail status but does not provide a detailed breakdown of performance by topic area.

Are there any pre-licensing education requirements before I can write the exam?

Yes. Candidates must complete a RIBO-approved pre-licensing course from an accredited education provider before they are eligible to register for the licensing exam. This course covers the core curriculum upon which the exam is based.

How long is the RIBO license valid, and what are the ongoing requirements?

A RIBO license is valid for a two-year licensing period. To maintain an active license, brokers must complete mandatory Continuing Education (CE) credits during each cycle and pay the required renewal fees to RIBO. Failure to meet these requirements will result in the license being suspended.

Can I use reference materials during the RIBO exam?

No. The RIBO exam is a closed-book examination. No personal notes, textbooks, electronic devices, or other reference materials are permitted in the testing area. Candidates are expected to have memorized and internalized the key legislation, policy wordings, and concepts.
