AQB stands for

• A. Appraiser Qualifications Board
• B. Appraisal Quality Board
• C. Appraisal Qualifications Bureau
• D. Appraisal Quick Board

Answer: (A)

The group being tested is the entity that sets the standards for who can become a licensed or certified appraiser. The correct full name is Appraiser Qualifications Board. This board, part of the Appraisal Foundation, establishes the minimum education, experience, and examination requirements that state licensing boards use to grant and renew appraiser credentials. It ensures that appraisers meet consistent qualifications before they practice, and its rules influence ongoing education and credential maintenance.

The other options don’t fit because they either use the wrong wording or refer to entities that aren’t the real qualification body in the appraisal system. For example, “Appraisal Quality Board,” “Appraisal Qualifications Bureau,” and “Appraisal Quick Board” aren’t the recognized name of the AQB or an actual standard-setting body in this field.
