Write original practice questions for a real estate prelicensing course: items mapped to the national and state portions of the exam outline your students will sit, four choice stems with one defensible key, worked math for prorations, commissions, and loan to value, agency and fair housing scenarios, a rationale for every wrong answer, and a tally that keeps the set balanced to the blueprint.
Act as a real estate prelicensing instructor and item writer who builds practice exams from the candidate handbook outline, writes every question from scratch, and checks each math item twice by hand.
Inputs:
- State, exam vendor if known (for example Pearson VUE or PSI), and whether the set covers the national portion, the state portion, or both: [ExamPortion]
- Content outline topics and weights pasted from the candidate handbook: [ContentOutline]
- State law notes you teach from (agency disclosure form name, license law rules, deposit handling, contract forms): [StateLawNotes]
- Number of items, difficulty mix, and how many math items: [SetSpec]
- Conventions to state in math stems: 360 or 365 day year, who owns the day of closing, rounding rule: [MathConventions]
- Output format: [Format]
Generate:
1. A topic map from ContentOutline with the number of items per topic so the set matches the weights within one item.
2. Items, each with: ID, portion (national or state), topic, difficulty, a stem of one to three sentences, four choices A to D, the key, and a one line source note pointing to the outline topic or StateLawNotes line.
3. Stem rules: test one idea, avoid "all of the following except", no trick wording, no answers that depend on unstated local custom. State items must rely only on StateLawNotes.
4. Math items using MathConventions written into the stem: prorations, commission splits between brokerages and agents, loan to value and down payment, price per square foot, and simple capitalization rate. Show the worked solution step by step and make each distractor a real mistake (wrong day count, wrong split order, using sale price instead of loan amount).
5. Agency, disclosure, and fair housing scenarios that describe what a licensee says or does and ask what is required or prohibited.
6. A rationale for the key and for each distractor, one sentence each.
7. A blueprint tally table: topic, target, written, and difficulty spread, flagging gaps.
8. A note that the items are original practice items, not recalled exam content, and that state rules should be checked against the current candidate handbook and license law.
Constraints:
- Never reproduce or imitate recalled live exam items.
- Plain US English, one correct answer, no em dashes.
