New York real estate exam prep

An independent study aid. Not affiliated with or endorsed by the New York Department of State (DOS) or the New York State Real Estate Board. The questions are original exam practice written from official sources; they are not the DOS's questions and not legal advice.

1What is in the pass

• Timed exams, as many as you want. Each one is 77 questions in 1½ hours, one question for each hour the DOS syllabus gives a subject, so every area gets its syllabus share, with questions you have not seen yet served first. You get your score by content area against a 75% study target; the DOS publishes no passing score.
• Practice by topic. Pick any of the 8 national content areas or a New York area, or the questions you missed last time. The right answer and the reason appear as soon as you answer.
• New York questions with their law cited. 129 questions on New York rules: license law and the DOS rules, the agency disclosure form and dual agency, the Human Rights Law, the property condition disclosure statement, security deposits and the statute of frauds, recording and mechanic's liens, zoning and planning boards, property tax assessments, condominiums and cooperatives, and more. Each explanation names the New York statute, DOS regulation or federal statute it comes from, with the date it was read.
• National questions to the outline. 400 questions on the principles every state tests, weighted to Pearson VUE's national content outline, down to each sub-topic. They include the 80 on the free practice exam.
• Your weak topics, tracked. Every answer is recorded in your browser, so the app can show your accuracy by topic and send you back to the areas below the study target.

DOS does not publish how many questions the salesperson exam has or how they are spread across subjects. It does say the exam is based on the 77-hour qualifying course, and its syllabus gives every subject a number of hours. Our timed exam asks one question for each syllabus hour, in the time DOS allows. That is this site's practice format, not an official one.
