We are asked this question often and the answer is always yes and no. Like any exam, if you do not study even an easy exam can be hard.
The good news about the Rhode Island real estate exam is every candidate is required to complete a 45-hour pre-licensing class to prepare the candidate to pass the exam and more importantly help the student understand the content. Secondly, unlike other professional exams, you can take the real estate exam as many times as needed until you pass, the only downside is you will have to pay the $70.00 examination fee each time and you must pass and submit your application for licensure within one year of taking the exam the first time or you may be subject to taking the 45-hour pre-license class over. Last but not least and we would argue the best and most important thing to always remember is that what you learn to pass the exam doesn't have much to do with the real world of real estate in terms of being successful. How well or poorly you perform in passing the exam is no indication of how well can do in the real world. A successful real estate business requires a great work ethic and willingness to learn best principles and practices for building a successful real estate business.
