Missouri Real Estate Practice Exam
Missouri licenses real estate salespersons through the Missouri Real Estate Commission (MREC) under the Division of Professional Registration. PSI Services administers the computer-based licensing exam in two independently scored sections with different passing thresholds. You must complete a 48-hour MREC-approved pre-exam salesperson course before testing and finish the 24-hour Missouri Real Estate Practice Course (MREP) before your license application.

How the Missouri salesperson exam is structured
Missouri salesperson candidates take a national section and a Missouri state section during one computer-based appointment administered by PSI. The national portion includes 100 scored multiple-choice questions with 150 minutes allowed. The Missouri state portion includes 40 scored multiple-choice questions with 120 minutes allowed. You must achieve at least 70% on the national section and at least 75% on the state section to pass. Each portion is scored independently, so a strong national performance cannot offset a failing Missouri-law result. PSI may include five to ten unscored experimental questions that do not count toward your score but do count against your time. Results display on screen when you finish, and PSI emails a diagnostic score report if you fail either section.
What is on the Missouri real estate exam?
PSI splits the Missouri salesperson exam into a national real estate principles portion and a Missouri state law portion. Because each portion has its own passing threshold, weak performance on either section fails the attempt regardless of the other score.
- National portion (100 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.
- Missouri state portion (40 scored items): general MREC rules, license applications and renewals, broker-salesperson relationships, business conduct and practices, disciplinary proceedings, and brokerage relationships including dual agency disclosure.
- High-weight Missouri topics: business conduct and practices carries 17 of 40 state items, covering advertising, listings, earnest money handling, standard forms, closing statements, and commission rules.
- Study priority: drill national math and financing concepts under the 150-minute national limit, then block separate time for MREC licensing law, agency disclosure duties, and earnest-money dispute rules on the 40-item state outline.
What are Missouri's real estate license requirements?
Missouri salesperson candidates must complete MREC education before PSI testing and finish MREP before licensure. Review the current PSI Candidate Information Bulletin and MREC application instructions before applying because fees and processing rules can change.
- Be at least 18 years old when you apply for a Missouri salesperson license.
- Complete a 48-hour pre-exam salesperson course from an MREC-accredited Missouri real estate school and earn a Certificate of Satisfactory Completion on or before your exam date.
- Pass both the national and Missouri state exam portions, then complete the 24-hour Missouri Real Estate Practice Course (MREP) before submitting your license application. MREP may be taken before or after the exam.
- Submit your complete license application within six months of finishing the 48-hour pre-exam course. If you pass one exam section at a sitting and the other later, submit within six months of your first passing section score.
- Register with PSI at test-takers.psiexams.com/more, pay the $52 examination fee (covering one or both portions), and arrive 15 minutes early with valid government-issued photo identification matching your PSI registration exactly.
- PSI registration fees are non-refundable and expire one year after payment if you do not test. MREC license application fees and course tuition are separate costs listed on pr.mo.gov.
Study workflow Casa Academy recommends for Missouri
Read the PSI content outlines first, then drill national concepts such as contracts, agency, and financing under timed conditions that respect the 150-minute national limit. Block separate study time for Missouri business conduct rules, brokerage relationship disclosure, earnest money handling, and standard-form requirements because those topics dominate the 40-item state portion. If you pass one section but fail the other, schedule a retake for only the failed section and pay the $52 examination fee again.

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

Frequently asked questions
What are Missouri's real estate license requirements?
You must be at least 18 years old, complete a 48-hour MREC-accredited pre-exam salesperson course before testing, pass both PSI exam portions, finish the 24-hour MREP course before submitting your license application, and file a complete application within six months of finishing the pre-exam course (or within six months of your first passing section if you pass portions on separate sittings). MREC publishes full eligibility paths for attorneys and out-of-state licensees in the PSI Candidate Information Bulletin.
How hard is the Missouri real estate exam?
Difficulty depends on your preparation, but the scope is demanding. The exam covers 100 scored national items and 40 scored Missouri state items across 270 minutes total, and each portion has its own passing threshold (70 percent national, 75 percent state). A practical study plan gives extra time to business conduct and practices, brokerage relationship disclosure, and earnest money rules because those topics carry the heaviest weight on the 40-item state portion.
How many questions can you miss on the Missouri real estate exam?
Because each portion is scored independently, you need at least 70 correct of 100 national items and 30 correct of 40 Missouri state items. That means you can miss up to 30 national 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 Missouri real estate exam?
PSI does not publish a maximum attempt count for Missouri salesperson candidates. If you pass one section but fail the other, schedule a retake for only the failed section and pay the $52 examination fee again. Registration fees are non-refundable and expire one year after payment if you do not test. Submit your MREC license application within six months of finishing the 48-hour pre-exam course, or within six months of your first passing section score if you pass portions on separate sittings.
What is on the Missouri 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 Missouri state law (MREC licensing rules, broker-salesperson relationships, business conduct and practices, disciplinary proceedings, and brokerage relationships including dual agency). Confirm the latest outline in the PSI Candidate Information Bulletin before you schedule.
How much does the Missouri salesperson exam and license cost?
PSI charges $52 per examination registration, whether you take one or both portions at that sitting. Retakes for a failed portion also cost $52. Pre-exam course tuition, MREP course fees, and MREC license application charges are separate costs published on pr.mo.gov and in the application instructions included with your passing score report. Confirm both PSI and MREC fee schedules before submitting payment.
Does Casa Academy offer Missouri-specific practice questions?
