The booklet lists five subject areas with approximate shares of the exam: Law 20 percent, Procedure 25, Budget 25, Insurance 12 and Management and Maintenance 18.

The certifying body does not publicly publish an official pass rate for this exam. Be wary of third-party sites citing a specific number here — treat any pass-rate claim you see elsewhere for this exam as unverified.

The DBPR booklet says a candidate who does not reach the passing score may be reexamined by submitting a reexamination application, with the details sent along with the grade report. Candidates who fail can review the questions they missed within 21 days of the exam at a Pearson VUE center.

DBPR reports the exam as a scaled score and has scaled the minimum passing score to 75. That is not the same as 75 percent of questions correct, so the portal mock shows a percent score only as a rough self-check. Format: 100 multiple-choice questions; the booklet does not give the time allowed, so confirm it when you schedule with Pearson VUE. The portal mock has 100 questions in 120 minutes as a practice pace. No official pass rate is available for this exam, so none is quoted here.
