New Hampshire Real Estate Practice Exam

New Hampshire salesperson candidates take a national section and a New Hampshire state section during one computer-based PSI appointment. The national portion includes 80 scored multiple-choice questions with 150 minutes allowed. The New Hampshire state portion includes 40 scored multiple-choice questions with 90 minutes allowed. PSI schedules both sections in one 240-minute appointment. You must achieve at least 70% on the national section and at least 70% on the state section to pass. That means at least 56 correct answers on the national section and at least 28 correct answers on the state section. 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.

PSI splits the New Hampshire salesperson exam into a national real estate principles portion and a New Hampshire state law portion. Because each portion has its own 70% passing threshold, weak performance on either section fails the attempt regardless of the other score.

• National portion (80 scored items): property ownership, land use controls, valuation and market analysis, financing, contracts, agency, practice of real estate, and real estate calculations per PSI's national salesperson content outline.
• New Hampshire state portion (40 scored items): Real Estate Commission rules, licensure procedures, regulation of licensee conduct, regulation of agency conduct, and New Hampshire principles and practice.
• High-weight state topics: regulation of agency conduct (11 items) and regulation of licensee conduct (11 items) carry the heaviest weights on the 40-item state portion per PSI's New Hampshire outline.
• Statute focus: RSA 331-A licensing and disciplinary rules, Rea 701 agency disclosure forms, RSA 354-A fair housing, environmental disclosure statutes, RSA 356-B condominiums, and RSA 672 and 674 planning and zoning appear frequently on the state section.

New Hampshire salesperson candidates must complete Commission-approved education and register through PSI before testing, then submit a license application after passing both exam sections. Review the current OPLC instructions and PSI Candidate Information Bulletin before applying because fees and hour requirements can change.

• Complete 40 hours of New Hampshire accredited pre-licensing education within six months before your exam date. The standard path requires at least 32 hours of classroom attendance and no more than eight hours of distance education.
• Register online only at test-takers.psiexams.com/nhre. PSI stopped accepting mail, fax, and email applications effective March 31, 2025.
• Pay the PSI examination fee ($66 combo for both sections, or $34 national plus $32 state when registering for individual sections). Exam fees are non-refundable and valid for one year from payment date.
• Take the exam within three months of PSI registration receipt. Arrive 30 minutes early with one valid government-issued photo ID that matches your PSI registration name exactly.
• Pass both the national and New Hampshire state exam sections with at least 70% on each within six months of your original exam date, then submit your original PSI score report and a completed license application to the Commission at 7 Eagle Square, Concord.
• License application fees and any background screening charges are separate from PSI examination fees. Confirm current Commission fee schedules on oplc.nh.gov before submitting your application.

Read the PSI Candidate Information Bulletin and Rea administrative rules 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 RSA 331-A agency relationships, Rea 701 disclosure rules, RSA 354-A fair housing, environmental disclosures, and New Hampshire transfer tax rules because those topics dominate the 40-item state portion. If you pass one section but fail the other, register again and retake only the failed section, but remember the six-month window and eight-attempt limit under Rea 303.05.
