New Jersey Real Estate Practice Exam

New Jersey salesperson candidates take one combined computer-based exam during a single PSI appointment. The session includes 110 scored multiple-choice questions covering national real estate principles and New Jersey-specific law. PSI sets the passing standard at 70% on those 110 scored items, which equals at least 77 correct answers. Unlike many PSI states, New Jersey does not require independent national and state portion passes. PSI may also include five to ten unscored experimental questions mixed into the session. Those pretest items do not count toward your score but still count against the four-hour (240-minute) time limit. Your pass or fail status displays on screen immediately after the exam, and PSI emails a practice test score report if you fail. Remote online proctoring and in-person testing at PSI centers across New Jersey are both available when you register.

PSI publishes a combined content outline for the New Jersey salesperson exam in candidate bulletin 1663. National topics and New Jersey statutes appear in one scored pool, so weak performance on either area can fail the attempt even if you excel elsewhere.

• National content (about 80 of 110 scored items by outline weight): 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 Sales percent outline.
• Contracts (19% of national Sales weight) and agency (13%) carry the heaviest national topic weights; pair contract law drills with agency disclosure scenarios under timed conditions.
• New Jersey statutes and rules governing licensee activities (22 scored items): advertising, broker and salesperson relationships, commission accounting, agency and conflict-of-interest disclosure, trust fund handling, listings, place of business, recordkeeping, inducements, buyer rebates, and licensee duties to the public.
• New Jersey commission powers and licensing requirements (5 scored items combined): Real Estate Commission duties, sanctions, activities requiring a license, and license types.
• Additional New Jersey requirements (3 scored items): Real Estate Sales Full Disclosure Act, Law Against Discrimination, Real Estate Guaranty Fund, and Time Share Act, plus outline references to Pinelands Protection Act, Mount Laurel requirements, municipal land use law, Truth in Renting Act, Realty Transfer Fee, and freshwater wetlands rules.

License exams test how New Jersey 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.

• New Jersey Real Estate License Act (N.J.S.A. 45:15)
• NJREC requirements for salesperson or broker licensure
• PSI New Jersey Real Estate Candidate Information Bulletin
• New Jersey Real Estate Commission

New Jersey salesperson candidates must complete NJREC-approved education and receive PSI eligibility before testing, then submit a broker-sponsored license application after passing. Review the current NJREC instructions and PSI Candidate Information Bulletin before applying because fees and hour requirements can change.

• Complete 75 hours of NJREC-approved pre-licensing education before your school submits eligibility electronically to PSI. Your eligibility expires one year to the day from the issue date, and you must pass the exam and apply for licensure before that expiration.
• Register at test-takers.psiexams.com/njre or call (855) 579-4634 after PSI email confirmation. Pay the $38 examination fee at scheduling. Registration fees are non-refundable and non-transferable.
• Arrive 30 minutes early with one valid government-issued photo ID whose name matches your PSI account exactly. Remote proctored and in-person PSI test center formats are both available.
• After passing, complete fingerprinting through Sagem-Morpho, obtain broker employment, and submit all license materials simultaneously to the Licensing Services Bureau within one year of the eligibility expiration date on your score report.
• License application fees are separate from PSI examination fees. NJREC requires a certified or cashier's check, money order, or broker's business account check for $160 payable to the State Treasurer of New Jersey ($100 license fee, $50 application fee, and $10 Guaranty Fund). Personal checks are not accepted.

Prices and offer feature lists render from the shared catalog on this page.

Read PSI candidate bulletin 1663 first, then drill national concepts such as contracts, agency, financing, and fair housing under timed conditions that respect the four-hour combined limit. Block separate study time for NJREC trust account rules, disclosure statutes, Guaranty Fund requirements, buyer rebate rules, and landlord-tenant law referenced in the outline because statutes governing licensee activities alone carry 22 of the 30 New Jersey-weighted items. Because the official cut is one combined 70% score, a weak New Jersey law block can fail the attempt even when national topics feel strong. If you fail, you cannot schedule a retake on the same day you test, but PSI allows a new appointment as soon as the next business day depending on seat availability.
