Section REEB 12.02 - Examinations(1) WRITTEN EXAMINATIONS. Each applicant for examination to obtain a broker's or salesperson's license shall read and write a comprehensive examination in English, testing that person's competency to transact the business of a real estate broker or salesperson. The examination shall be in conformity with s. 452.09(3), Stats., and may consist of one or 2 parts. If the examination consists of 2 parts, they shall be designated as the uniform part and the state part, and are described as follows: (a) Uniform part measures knowledge and skills relevant to the general practices and principles of real estate that are common to or "uniform" among all licensing jurisdictions.(b) State part contains questions dealing with real estate laws, rules, and regulations, and other aspects of real estate practices appropriate to the state of Wisconsin.(2) COMPETENCY. (a) The score required to pass an examination, or each part of a 2-part examination, shall be based on the board's determination of the level of examination performance required for minimum acceptable competence in the profession. The board shall make the determination after consultation with subject matter experts who have received a representative sample of the examination questions and available candidate performance statistics, and shall set the passing score for the examination at that point which represents minimum acceptable competence in the profession.(b) A first-time applicant who passes one part of a 2-part examination shall be conditionally credited with the part on which the passing grade was received, and may, upon application, be reexamined on the part failed at any examination administered during the 12,months following the first examination. A person who does not pass the part retaken at one of the examinations administered during the 12 months following the first examination shall revert to the status of a new applicant, and shall rewrite both parts, if reapplication is made. In addition to a passing grade, the board may require further supplemental proof of competency. In all cases, a failing grade received on the written examination shall be controlling on the question of competency.(3) EXAMINATION REQUIREMENTS FOR APPLICANTS LICENSED IN ANOTHER STATE.
