Mississippi Real Estate Practice Exam
Mississippi licenses real estate salespersons through the Mississippi Real Estate Commission (MREC). PSI Services administers the licensing exam after MREC approves your resident application and authorizes you to test. This guide summarizes the current two-portion format, independent pass thresholds, and Mississippi state-law topics from official MREC and PSI publications so you can study with accurate expectations before scheduling.

How the Mississippi salesperson exam is structured
The salesperson exam includes 80 scored General (national) items and 40 scored Mississippi State items when you take both portions in one appointment. PSI allots 2.5 hours for the General portion and 1.5 hours 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 70 percent of the General items correctly and at least 75 percent of the State items correctly to pass. Each portion is scored independently. Failing one portion means failing the exam for that attempt even if you pass the other section.
What is on the Mississippi real estate exam?
PSI splits the Mississippi salesperson exam into a national real estate principles portion and a Mississippi state law portion. Because each portion has its own passing threshold, 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.
- Mississippi state portion (40 scored items): agency disclosure and duties to parties (including dual agency and Working with a Real Estate Broker), MREC powers and enforcement, licensing requirements and license maintenance, broker supervision of sales associates, property condition disclosures, trust accounts, and records and advertising rules.
- Mississippi compliance topics: commission jurisdiction and penalties, out-of-state broker cooperative agreements, errors and omissions insurance requirements, and rules about receiving and sharing commissions.
- Study priority: PSI weights agency disclosure heavily on the state outline. Pair statute review with math drills for commissions, prorations, and area calculations because the General portion still includes quantitative items.
What are Mississippi's real estate license requirements?
Mississippi salesperson candidates must complete MREC education and satisfy residency rules before the Commission authorizes PSI testing. Review the current PSI bulletin and MREC application materials before applying because fees and processing rules can change.
- Be at least 18 years old and a Mississippi resident when you submit your application to MREC.
- Complete 60 classroom hours of real estate courses from an MREC-approved pre-license education provider or an accredited college or community college.
- Submit a complete resident salesperson application to MREC with your education certificate, required photographs, and the current $100 application fee listed in MREC Rule 2.1.
- After MREC approves your application, register with PSI at test-takers.psiexams.com/msre or by calling (855) 557-0620 and pay the $75 PSI examination fee when you schedule.
- Pass both the General and State exam portions within the two-month eligibility window that begins when MREC approves your application, then affiliate with a licensed Mississippi broker before MREC issues your license.
- MREC application fees are not refunded after you are scheduled for the examination. PSI registration fees are non-refundable and expire one year after payment if you do not test.
Study workflow Casa Academy recommends for Mississippi
Read the PSI content outlines first, then drill general concepts such as contracts, agency, and financing under timed conditions that respect the 2.5-hour General limit. Block separate study time for Mississippi agency disclosure, trust account rules, broker supervision duties, and property condition disclosure forms. If you fail one portion, PSI allows you to retake only the failed portion on a future appointment within your MREC eligibility window.

Those items help you practice pacing and review explanations, but they do not replace Mississippi statute study or PSI outline review.

Frequently asked questions
What are Mississippi's real estate license requirements?
You must be at least 18 years old, be a Mississippi resident when you apply, complete 60 classroom hours from an MREC-approved pre-license provider, submit a complete application with the current $100 MREC fee, pass both PSI exam portions within your two-month eligibility window, and affiliate with a licensed broker. MREC publishes the full checklist on its applicants page and in the resident salesperson application form.
How hard is the Mississippi real estate exam?
Difficulty depends on your preparation, but the scope is demanding. The exam covers 80 scored General items and 40 scored Mississippi State items across four hours, and each portion has its own passing threshold (70 percent General, 75 percent State). A practical study plan gives extra time to agency disclosure, dual agency rules, trust accounts, and broker supervision because those topics dominate the 40-item state portion.
How many questions can you miss on the Mississippi real estate exam?
Because each portion is scored independently, you need at least 56 correct of 80 General items and 30 correct of 40 Mississippi State items. That means you can miss up to 24 General questions and up to 10 State questions when both portions are taken together. Failing either cutoff fails the entire attempt even if you exceed the threshold on the other portion.
How many times can you take the Mississippi real estate exam?
You must pass both portions within two months of MREC application approval. You may sit for the State portion only twice during that window; after two State failures you must wait three months before reapplying. If you pass State but fail General, you may retake the General portion unlimited times within the same two-month window. Each PSI attempt costs $75, and you cannot book a same-day retest because PSI processes scores overnight.
What is on the Mississippi real estate exam?
PSI tests national real estate principles (property ownership, land use, valuation, financing, contracts, agency, disclosures, transfer of title, practice, and calculations) plus Mississippi state law (agency disclosure and dual agency, MREC powers and enforcement, licensing maintenance, broker supervision, property condition disclosures, trust accounts, records, and advertising rules). Confirm the latest outline in the PSI Candidate Information Bulletin before you schedule.
How much does the Mississippi salesperson exam and license cost?
MREC Rule 2.1 lists $100 for a salesperson application that includes the first year of licensure when you pass the exam. PSI charges $75 per examination attempt, whether you take one or both portions. Pre-license course tuition, broker affiliation, and any renewal fees are separate costs. Confirm both MREC and PSI fee schedules before submitting payment.
Does Casa Academy offer Mississippi-specific practice exam questions?
Not yet. Casa Academy currently provides a free interactive practice set built from Florida pre-licensing topics. It is clearly labeled as a Florida demo so Mississippi candidates can build study habits without mistaking it for MREC exam content.
