Connecticut Real Estate Practice Exam

Prerequisites to take the Connecticut real estate exam:

  • Complete a Connecticut-approved 60-hour Real Estate Principles and Practices course and keep the completion certificate
  • Submit the DCP salesperson examination application with the $80 application fee; DCP must approve you before PSI will register you
  • Pass both PSI portions at the published 70% cuts within one year of DCP eligibility (or reapply to DCP)
  • Arrange supervision by a Connecticut licensed broker and pay the DCP license fee within two years of passing the last portion

Exam Structure & Format

  • PSI split portions in one appointment (or portion-only retakes): 80 general + 35 Connecticut state scored multiple-choice items, plus five to ten unscored experimental questions
  • About 120 minutes for the general portion and 45 minutes for the state portion (165 minutes combined)
  • Independent 70% on each portion (about 56/80 general and 25/35 state); retake only the failed portion within one year of DCP eligibility (no same-day retest)

Connecticut licenses real estate salespersons through the Department of Consumer Protection (DCP). PSI administers the salesperson exam: 80 general and 35 Connecticut state scored multiple-choice items (about 120 + 45 minutes), with independent 70% cuts on each portion. PSI lists $59 for a first attempt and $51 for a retake (one or both portions); confirm the live fee in candidate bulletin 1007 before you schedule.

How the Connecticut salesperson exam is structured

Connecticut salesperson candidates take one PSI appointment with two independently scored portions. The general (national) portion includes 80 multiple-choice questions in 120 minutes. The Connecticut state portion includes 35 multiple-choice questions in 45 minutes. PSI schedules both portions in one 165-minute appointment. You must achieve at least 70% on each portion to pass. PSI may include five to ten unscored experimental questions that do not count toward your score or time. Results display on screen when you finish, and PSI emails a practice test score report if you fail either section.

What is on the Connecticut real estate exam?

PSI publishes separate national and Connecticut state content outlines in candidate bulletin 1007. Use the official publications for current topic weights because forms can change.

  • General portion (80 items): property ownership, land use controls, valuation, financing, contracts, agency, property disclosures, property management, transfer of title, practice of real estate, and real estate calculations per PSI's national salesperson outline.
  • State portion: Connecticut Real Estate Commission purpose, license types, renewal, continuing education, the Real Estate Guaranty Fund, and license suspension or revocation.
  • State portion: Connecticut laws governing licensee activities including broker/salesperson relationships, deposit handling, misrepresentation, advertising, and commission rules.
  • State portion: Connecticut agency including dual agency, designated agency, agency disclosure, and confidential information requirements.
  • State portion: Connecticut-specific property law including the Residential Property Condition Disclosure Report, conveyance tax, landlord-tenant rules, common interest ownership (condominium) law, Connecticut fair housing additions, and property disclosures such as lead paint and crumbling foundations.

Key Connecticut statutes and regulations to study

License exams test how Connecticut statutes, commission rules, and candidate bulletins interact. Use the Statutes and regulations links on this page for primary sources, then confirm live fees and outlines with the regulator before you schedule.

  • Connecticut General Statutes Chapter 392 (real estate)
  • Connecticut DCP, Salesperson initial/exam application
  • PSI Connecticut real estate candidate bulletin
  • Connecticut General Statutes Section 20-314 (real estate licensing)

What are Connecticut's real estate license requirements?

Connecticut salesperson candidates must satisfy DCP education, examination, and application rules in addition to passing the PSI exam. Review the current candidate bulletin and DCP application page before applying because fees and deadlines can change.

  • Complete a Connecticut-approved 60-hour Real Estate Principles and Practices course and obtain your completion certificate before applying to DCP.
  • Submit the Real Estate Salesperson Examination Application to DCP with the $80 application fee and required documentation. DCP must approve you before PSI will register you for the exam.
  • After DCP approval, register and schedule through PSI at test-takers.psiexams.com/ctre and pay the $59 examination fee at registration. Effective May 14, 2025, PSI also offers remote online proctoring.
  • Pass both the general portion (at least 70%, about 56 correct out of 80 scored items) and the state portion (at least 70%, about 25 correct out of 35 scored items) within one year from your DCP eligibility date.
  • Submit your original passing score report(s) and the initial license fee indicated on the score report to DCP within two years of passing the last exam portion. You must be supervised by a Connecticut licensed broker to activate the license.
  • Pay separate exam and license charges. PSI lists $59 for a first exam attempt and $51 for retakes per portion or both portions. DCP lists an $80 application fee separate from PSI exam fees, plus a license fee after you pass (currently $590 on the DCP Initial/Exam page).

What Connecticut exam prep includes during 12-month access

The State plan unlocks unlimited blueprint-matched simulated exams, exam-day simulation, weak-topic mastery drills, spaced-repetition flashcards, and adaptive custom practice against the Connecticut question bank for twelve months from activation. The State + National plan adds the national bank with combined practice, the AI tutor grounded in the Connecticut state manual, and the pass-or-refund guarantee for eligible buyers. Access is English only. Renewal is manual (no automatic billing). A 7-day no-questions-asked refund policy applies to nationwide purchases. Prices and offer feature lists render from the shared catalog on this page. Casa does not sell DCP-approved Connecticut pre-licensing education.

Study workflow Casa Academy recommends for Connecticut

Treat the general and state outlines as separate study plans even though they share one appointment. Drill Connecticut agency disclosure workflows, the property condition disclosure form, and state licensing statutes until the 35-item state section feels predictable. Pair that with timed national practice on finance, contracts, valuation, and fair housing for the 80-question general portion. Because each section is scored independently, a strong national score cannot offset a failing state score. Start the free Connecticut practice test on this page for a 10-question readiness snapshot with email-gated review, then continue into unlimited blueprint-matched practice if you purchase Connecticut paid plans.

Official next steps after you pass

Submit your original passing score report(s) and the license fee shown on the DCP Initial/Exam page within two years of passing the last exam portion. Arrange supervising-broker affiliation before the license activates. Keep PSI bulletin 1007 and the DCP salesperson Initial/Exam page bookmarked because exam fees, license fees, and eligibility windows can change.

Common questions

What are the requirements to become a licensed real estate agent in Connecticut?

You must complete a Connecticut-approved 60-hour Real Estate Principles and Practices course, submit the DCP salesperson examination application with the $80 application fee and course certificate, and receive DCP approval before PSI will register you. After passing both exam portions, submit your passing score report and the license fee indicated on the DCP Initial/Exam page (currently $590) within two years. You must be supervised by a Connecticut licensed broker to activate your license.

How hard is the Connecticut real estate exam?

Difficulty depends on your preparation, but the scope is broad. You must pass an 80-question general portion and a 35-question Connecticut state portion, each with a 70% passing threshold scored independently. Candidates who underprepare on Connecticut agency disclosure, the property condition disclosure form, or state licensing statutes often struggle on the state section even when national concepts feel familiar.

How many questions can you miss on the Connecticut real estate exam?

Connecticut uses percentage scores on each portion, not scaled scores. On the general portion you need at least 70%, which PSI describes as about 56 correct out of 80 scored items, so you can miss up to 24 questions. On the state portion you need at least 70%, which PSI describes as about 25 correct out of 35 scored items, so you can miss up to 10 questions. PSI may add five to ten unscored experimental items that do not count toward your score.

How many times can you take the Connecticut real estate exam?

PSI allows unlimited exam attempts within one year from your DCP eligibility date, but you must pass both the general and state portions within that one-year window. If you do not pass both portions within one year, you must reapply to DCP. You cannot schedule a new exam appointment on the same day you tested; PSI typically allows retesting as soon as the next day if space is available.

What is on the Connecticut real estate exam?

The general portion covers national real estate topics including property ownership, land use, valuation, financing, contracts, agency, disclosures, and real estate math. The Connecticut state portion emphasizes commission rules, licensing requirements, Connecticut agency law (dual and designated agency), the Residential Property Condition Disclosure Report, conveyance tax, landlord-tenant rules, common interest ownership law, Connecticut fair housing additions, and property-specific disclosures. Review PSI bulletin 1007 for current topic weights.

How much does the Connecticut real estate exam and license cost?

DCP lists an $80 non-refundable application fee paid when you submit your examination application. PSI lists $59 for a first exam attempt and $51 for retakes per portion or both portions. After passing, DCP lists a $590 license fee on the salesperson Initial/Exam page (score reports may still itemize Guaranty Fund line items). Course tuition is an additional cost. Confirm current fees on the DCP application page and PSI bulletin before submitting payment.

Does Casa Academy offer Connecticut-specific practice exam questions?

Yes. This hub embeds a free 10-question practice test from the Connecticut exam prep product bank. Answer explanations and the readiness report stay locked until you submit a valid email for that attempt. Unlimited blueprint-matched Connecticut practice is available through paid plans on the offer stack. Casa does not sell DCP-approved Connecticut pre-licensing education.

How do the plans differ for Connecticut?

Every plan includes twelve months of access with unlimited exams, flashcards, adaptive drills, and mastery tools. The State plan covers the Connecticut bank, the National plan covers the national bank, and the State + National plan includes both banks with combined practice, the AI tutor grounded in the Connecticut state manual, and the pass-or-refund guarantee for eligible buyers. Prices and feature lists come from the shared offer catalog on this page. Access renews manually after the twelve-month term and is English only.

Can I take the Connecticut real estate exam online?

Yes. PSI added remote online proctoring effective May 14, 2025. When scheduling at test-takers.psiexams.com/ctre, choose Test Center or Remote Proctored. Remote sessions follow additional security protocols, including no breaks during the exam.

What should I do after the Connecticut practice test?

Read the readiness report for weak topics against the Connecticut blueprint, review PSI bulletin 1007 and the DCP salesperson Initial/Exam page for official outline weights and fees, then either continue with the free practice test on this page or purchase paid plans from the offer stack for unlimited twelve-month Connecticut practice with manual renewal after the term.
