Minnesota Real Estate Practice Exam

The salesperson exam includes 80 scored general (national) items and 50 scored Minnesota state items when you take both portions in one sitting. PSI allots 150 minutes for the general portion and 90 minutes for the state portion, for four hours total. PSI may also include five to ten unscored experimental questions that do not affect your score but do count against your time. You must answer at least 75 percent of the scored items correctly on each portion to pass. Each portion is scored independently. Failing one portion means failing the exam for that attempt even if you pass the other section.

PSI splits the Minnesota salesperson exam into a national real estate principles portion and a Minnesota state law portion. Because each portion has its own 75 percent cutoff, weak performance on either section fails the attempt regardless of the other score.

• General portion (80 scored items): property ownership, land use controls, valuation, financing, contracts, agency, property disclosures, transfer of title, practice of real estate, and real estate calculations per PSI's national content outline.
• Minnesota state portion (50 scored items): Minn. Statutes Chapter 82 licensing and renewal rules, trust accounts, standards of conduct, agency disclosure requirements, the Real Estate Education Research and Recovery Fund, and commissioner enforcement authority.
• Minnesota property and contract law: interests in real property (spousal conveyance, condominiums, common interest ownership), landlord-tenant law under Chapter 504B, recording and Torrens registration, deed and mortgage taxes, and statutory home warranties.
• Minnesota compliance topics: the Minnesota Human Rights Act, environmental disclosures for wells and septic systems, foreclosure procedures, and other statutes listed in the PSI Minnesota state content outline.

License exams test how Minnesota 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.

• Minnesota Statutes Chapter 82 (real estate brokers and salespersons)
• Minnesota real estate licensing guide
• PSI Minnesota Real Estate Candidate Information Bulletin
• Minnesota Department of Commerce real estate

Minnesota salesperson candidates must complete Department of Commerce education and satisfy sponsorship rules before the Commerce Department issues a license. Review the current licensing guide and PSI bulletin before applying because fees and processing rules can change.

• Complete 90 hours of Commerce-approved pre-license education in three 30-hour courses (Course I, II, and III). Course I is required before you may sit for the exam; Courses II and III must be finished before you apply for your license.
• Register with PSI after Course I completion and pay the current examination fee ($68 for both portions together or $45 per portion). Examination fees are valid for one year from the date PSI receives payment.
• Pass both the general and Minnesota state exam portions at 75 percent each. If you pass one portion and fail the other, you retake only the failed portion on a future appointment.
• Secure association with a licensed Minnesota broker before licensure. Your sponsoring broker submits the license application through the Commerce Department.
• Apply for your license within one year of passing the exam or you must retake it. Confirm that your PSI account name matches your government-issued photo ID before test day.

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 Minnesota question bank for twelve months from activation. The State + National plan adds the national bank with combined practice, the AI tutor grounded in the Minnesota 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 Commerce-approved Minnesota pre-licensing education.

Read the PSI content outlines first, then drill general concepts such as contracts, agency, and financing under timed conditions that respect the 150-minute general limit. Block separate study time for Minnesota Chapter 82 licensing law, agency disclosure forms, trust account rules, and condominium statutes. Because each portion is scored independently at 75 percent, a strong general score cannot offset a failing state score. Out-of-state licensed candidates may qualify to take only the Minnesota state portion after Commerce review, so confirm your waiver status before booking. Start the free Minnesota 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 Minnesota paid plans.

Apply for your salesperson license within one year of passing both exam portions or the scores expire and you must retest. Finish Courses II and III before your sponsoring broker submits the license application through the Commerce Department's licensing portal. Arrange brokerage affiliation early because Minnesota issues the license to you through your sponsoring broker. Keep PSI bulletin 10958 and the Commerce licensing guide bookmarked because exam fees, license fees, and processing rules can change.
