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. 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 diagnostic 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. 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 portion (88 scored items): 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 content outline.
• Contracts (19% of national weight) and agency (13%) carry the heaviest national topic weights on the outline; pair contract law drills with agency disclosure scenarios under timed conditions.
• New Jersey state law (22 scored items): statutes and rules governing licensee activities, including 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.
• 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 Pinelands Protection Act, Mount Laurel requirements, municipal land use law, Truth in Renting Act, and freshwater wetlands rules referenced in the outline.

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.

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, and landlord-tenant law referenced in the outline because those topics dominate the 22-item state-weighted portion. 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.
