New Hampshire licenses real estate salespeople through one exam given by PSI: 80 scored questions on the national portion in 150 minutes and 40 scored questions on the New Hampshire state portion in 90 minutes, and you must pass each portion separately — 56 of 80 points on the national portion, 28 of 40 points on the state portion. PassProfessor’s New Hampshire program will give you 19,970 original practice questions built on PSI’s current content outlines — 13,355 on the national topics and 6,615 on New Hampshire law and practice alone — with fresh blueprint-weighted practice exams, topic drills for every outline area, and per-question analytics that show you exactly where your misses are coming from. A free sample exam will be available at launch.
What’s included
A New Hampshire bank, not a national bank with a state chapter taped on. The state portion is 40 of your 120 scored questions — a full third of the exam — and every one of those questions is New Hampshire-specific: the Real Estate Commission, licensure under RSA 331-A, licensee and agency conduct rules, and New Hampshire principles and practice from human rights law to current-use taxation. Our bank holds 6,615 questions on those five state areas alone, so the portion national courses cover most lightly is the portion you can drill the deepest.
Practice exams at the real exam’s weights. Each full practice exam is generated fresh for that attempt, in the real 80/40 portion split and weighted the way PSI’s outlines weight the topics — contracts carry the most national weight at 19%, and licensee conduct and agency conduct together carry 22 of the 40 state questions. Questions you have not seen come first, and you never sit the same exam twice.
Drills that match how the exam is built. Drill a single outline area — New Hampshire licensure, valuation, financing, property disclosures — or sit a full timed simulation of one portion or both. Your results break down by outline area, so a weak topic shows up in your practice data before it shows up on a score report.
Per-question analytics that keep the bank honest. Every item in the program is monitored from real student responses once the program opens. Questions students find suspiciously easy or suspiciously hard are pulled for review, and anything found wrong is fixed or retired — the bank you practice on is the bank as it should be, not as it shipped.
Coverage of every outline area, counted. All eleven national areas and all five New Hampshire state areas in PSI’s published outlines are represented in the bank, in the proportions the table below shows. Even the smallest exam area — property management, at 3% of the national portion — carries 400 practice questions.
The real exam at a glance
Current as of October 2026, per the New Hampshire Real Estate Commission and the official candidate handbook — PSI’s New Hampshire Real Estate Commission License Examinations Candidate Information Bulletin (updated July 1, 2025). Full detail — eligibility, registration, retakes, test day — is in our New Hampshire real estate exam guide.
| National portion | New Hampshire state portion | |
|---|---|---|
| Scored questions | 80 (80 points) | 40 (40 points) |
| Time limit | 150 minutes | 90 minutes |
| Passing standard | 56 points (70%) | 28 points (70%) |
| Exam fee | $34 | $32 |
- The exam is administered by PSI Services LLC for the New Hampshire Real Estate Commission (part of the Office of Professional Licensure and Certification). Taken together, both portions are 120 scored questions in 240 minutes, and the combined fee is $66.
- The two portions are scored separately, and you must pass both. If you pass one portion and fail the other, you retake only the portion you failed — but both portions must be passed within six months of your original exam date or eight attempts, or you complete an accredited prelicensing course again.
- PSI may administer 5 to 10 unscored experimental questions alongside the scored ones. They do not count toward your score, and per the bulletin the time spent on them does not count against your testing time.
- Before you can test, you must complete 40 hours of approved pre-licensing study — at least 32 hours in a classroom and no more than 8 hours by distance education, completed within the six months before your exam. This program is exam preparation only; it is not that course and provides no pre-licensing credit.
- Registration is online only: since March 31, 2025, PSI no longer accepts exam applications by mail, fax, or email. Exam fees are non-refundable and non-transferable, and each attempt is paid separately.
How the practice maps to the real exam
Every question in the New Hampshire bank is tagged to an area of PSI’s current content outlines — the same outlines the real exam is built from. Counts below are the bank itself, counted question by question from the delivered workbook.

How to use it
- Join the notify list today. When enrollment opens, start with the free sample exam — a fixed set of New Hampshire questions drawn from both portions — enough to see how the program works and where you stand.
- Drill the New Hampshire state areas early. They are a third of the real exam and the most concrete material on it — RSA 331-A licensing rules, conduct and agency requirements, transfer tax, current-use taxation, landlord-tenant law. Most candidates leave state law for last; the score report is where that shows.
- Drill by outline area. Work your weakest national areas — contracts alone carry 19% of the national portion — until the misses stop repeating, then do the same for the five state areas.
- Sit full generated exams against the clock, one portion at a time. 80 questions in 150 minutes and 40 in 90 minutes are two different pacing problems, and each portion must pass on its own. Practice them the way you will be scored on them.
- Book the real exam through PSI when your practice results sit comfortably above 56 points on national simulations and 28 points on state simulations — then submit your original score reports with your license application to the Commission.

Frequently asked questions
How many questions are on the New Hampshire real estate exam? The salesperson exam has 120 scored questions across two portions: 80 on the national portion and 40 on the New Hampshire state portion. PSI may also administer 5 to 10 unscored experimental questions, which do not count toward your score. You must pass both portions to be licensed.
What score do I need to pass the New Hampshire real estate exam? Per PSI’s candidate bulletin, you need 56 of 80 points (70%) on the national portion and 28 of 40 points (70%) on the state portion — 84 of 120 points if you take both portions together. The portions are scored separately, so a strong national score cannot make up for a state score below 28.
Who administers the New Hampshire real estate exam? PSI Services LLC administers the exam for the New Hampshire Real Estate Commission, which sits within the state’s Office of Professional Licensure and Certification. You register and schedule online through PSI’s New Hampshire real estate page; applications by mail, fax, or email are no longer accepted.
How much does the New Hampshire real estate exam cost? The exam fee is $34 for the national portion and $32 for the state portion, or $66 for both portions together, paid to PSI. The fee applies to each attempt and is non-refundable and non-transferable. Your license application to the Commission after you pass is a separate step with its own requirements — check the Commission’s current application information on the OPLC website.
What do I need before I can take the exam? You must show proof of 40 hours of approved pre-licensing study completed before the exam date — at least 32 hours of classroom attendance and no more than 8 hours of distance education, within the six months before the exam — under RSA 331-A:10 and Commission rule Rea 301.03. Salesperson licensure also requires that you be at least 18, show no record of unprofessional conduct, provide evidence of good reputation for honesty, trustworthiness, and integrity, and complete the criminal records check under RSA 331-A:10-a.
If I fail one portion, do I retake the whole exam? No. You retake only the portion you failed, and you pay that portion’s fee for the new attempt. The limit is time and attempts: both portions must be passed within six months of your original examination date or eight examination attempts, whichever comes first — otherwise, under Rea 303.05, you must complete an accredited prelicensing course again before continuing.
Does this program count toward my 40 hours of pre-licensing education? No. PassProfessor is exam preparation only. It does not provide pre-licensing education credit and is not a substitute for the required 40-hour pre-licensing course, which you must complete with a Commission-approved provider before your exam date.
Are these the actual exam questions? No. Every PassProfessor question is written by us, from scratch, to PSI’s published New Hampshire content outlines and New Hampshire law. We never use real exam questions, recalled questions, or another provider’s bank — and using actual exam content would violate the candidate rules you agree to when you test.
I am licensed in another state. Does New Hampshire have reciprocity? Yes — per the PSI candidate bulletin, New Hampshire has reciprocity with all 50 states. Reciprocity candidates follow the Commission’s process for out-of-state licensees; check the Commission’s current guidance on the OPLC website for the steps that apply to you.
When can I enroll in the New Hampshire program? Soon — the question bank is complete and the program is in final preparation. Join the notify list on this page and we will email you the day enrollment opens.
