Frequently asked questions

Are these the questions from RECO's exams?

No. RECO's exam content is confidential and RECO publishes no exam questions. Every one of our 799 questions was written from scratch from public sources: TRESA and its regulations, the Condominium Act, 1998, the Residential Tenancies Act, 2006, the Planning Act and other Ontario statutes. Nothing is copied from RECO, a course provider or OREA's forms.

What pass mark do the practice exams use?

Our practice exams mark you against a 75 per cent training threshold. It is our own target, not RECO's: RECO reports each exam as Pass or Fail, sets the passing standard through a standard-setting process and does not publish it as a percentage. An unanswered question counts as wrong on RECO's exams, so our practice exams count it as wrong too.

How long are the practice exams?

Each practice exam has the number of questions and the time listed in the RECO Learner Exam Handbook (December 2025): Exam 1, 75 questions in 2 hours; Exams 2, 3 and 4, 115 questions in 3 hours; Simulation Exam 1, 50 questions in 3 hours; Simulation Exam 2, 46 questions in 3 hours. Choose the exam in the menu and the questions are drawn from that exam's bank only.

How many questions are there for each exam?

799 in total: 116 for Exam 1, 177 for Exam 2, 178 for Exam 3, 78 for Simulation Exam 1, 178 for Exam 4 and 72 for Simulation Exam 2. Every bank is larger than the exam it prepares, so a practice exam never repeats a question.

How current is the content?

The questions were written and checked in November 2026 against Ontario legislation as published on e-Laws (current to October 30, 2026), stating the rules that apply on January 1, 2027. Where a figure changes often, such as the rent increase guideline or land transfer tax brackets, check the current amount at the official source. If a rule changes after that date, the official text prevails.

Can I cancel?

Yes, at any time from your account, with no notice period and no penalty. The subscription renews automatically every month until you cancel; cancelling stops the next renewal and your access continues to the end of the period already paid for.

Does this replace my RECO course?

No. Each exam tests the content of the course delivered by one of the four education providers (Algonquin College, Career College Group, Fleming College or Humber Polytechnic), and you must complete the course before booking the exam. This platform is a practice tool: it drills the material and shows you where you are weak.

Are you affiliated with RECO or Meazure Learning?

No. OntarioRealEstateExams is an independent private study platform. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by or associated with the Real Estate Council of Ontario (RECO), Meazure Learning, any education provider or the Ontario Real Estate Association (OREA). Only RECO registers salespersons in Ontario.

Can I study on my phone?

Yes. The question bank, the study notes and the practice exams work the same on a phone, a tablet or a desktop.
