Corrections
What We Got Wrong, and How We Check
Every question here names the authority it comes from and the date somebody last read it. These are the corrections that reading produced.
Every question has been read
Not scanned by a script — read, in full, by a reviewer working a whole jurisdiction end to end in one sitting.
| Corpus | Questions | Read | Changed as a result |
|---|---|---|---|
| US real estate — 50 states, both tracks | 6231 | 6231 | 1210 |
Mechanical gates read one question at a time, so a keyed answer that is wrong on the law — or that contradicts what another question in the same bank teaches — passes every one of them. That is what the reading is for, and it is why the numbers above are tracked in a ledger the build checks rather than asserted here.
Corrections worth naming
Each of these is checkable against the authority beside it. Each is also a case where the plausible answer is the wrong one, which is why they survived as long as they did.
| What | Authority | What changed |
|---|---|---|
| Ohio pre-licensing hours | Ohio Rev. Code 4735.09 | Salespersons need 120 hours, not the 40 a reviewer expects, and the figure a prep chart usually quotes is Ohio's broker requirement sitting in the same question's distractor list. Verified against the statute rather than against the chart. |
| Michigan recovery fund | Michigan Occupational Code, Article 25 | Michigan has no real estate recovery fund at all. Eleven states do not, and a question asking what a wronged consumer recovers from one is unanswerable in those states rather than merely hard. |
| North Carolina discipline | N.C. Gen. Stat. 93A-6 | The North Carolina Real Estate Commission has no power to levy a fine. It can reprimand, suspend or revoke. A question offering a dollar figure as the answer is wrong on its face in this jurisdiction. |
| New Jersey disclosure citation | N.J.A.C. 11:5-6.9 | The Consumer Information Statement is at 11:5-6.9, not 11:5-6.2. A citation aimed at a neighboring provision is the defect a domain-level source check cannot see, because the domain is authoritative either way. |
| Texas Recovery Trust caps | Tex. Occ. Code 1101.601 et seq. | $125,000 per transaction and $250,000 per licensee. The $50,000 pair a reviewer remembers is an older structure. |
| Hawaii disciplinary fine | Removed 2026-08-08 | A question asking the size of the fine in "a recent" disciplinary case was removed outright. It keyed an anecdote rather than a rule, it had no fixed referent, and it cited a community advocacy site. There was no version of it worth keeping. |
What we do not claim
Reviewed against a cited source is not the same as independently verified by a licensed practitioner in every jurisdiction, and we do not claim the second. Where a question turns on doctrine that primary authority does not settle, it is recorded as unsettled and kept out of first-session content rather than quietly keyed one way.
Some citations still point at an agency page rather than a provision. Those are being re-sourced, and the count is tracked rather than hidden: the build enforces a ceiling that may fall and may never rise.
About corrections
How do I report a question you have got wrong?
Email support@freeholdprep.com with the question and what you believe the right answer is. A report that names the provision is fastest, but it is not required - if you think a question is wrong, that is worth telling us either way.
What does the verification date on a question mean?
It is the date somebody last opened the cited source and checked that it still says what the question says it says. It is not the date the question was written. Rules change, and a question that was right two years ago and is quietly wrong today is worse than no question at all.
Does every question really carry a source?
Yes - all 7084 of them, each with the authority, a pinpoint reference where the citation names one, and the date it was checked. The build fails if any question lacks one, so this is enforced rather than intended.
Why publish your own mistakes?
Because an answer key nobody can check is worth nothing, and every product in this category ships one. A correction log is the only claim about accuracy that a reader can verify without taking our word for anything.
