Missouri’s salesperson exam, given by PSI for the Missouri Real Estate Commission, has two separately scored portions: 100 national questions you pass at 70%, and 40 Missouri state questions you pass at 75%. PassProfessor’s Missouri program will give you 19,996 original practice questions — 14,357 on national topics and 5,639 on Missouri law and practice — with fresh, blueprint-weighted practice exams on every attempt, topic drills, and per-question analytics that show you which outline areas are costing you points. A free sample exam will be available when the program launches.

What’s included

A Missouri bank, built portion by portion. The state portion is 40 of your 140 scored questions, and every one of them is Missouri-specific: Chapter 339 licensing rules, escrow and earnest-money handling, disciplinary proceedings, and the brokerage-relationship framework — seller’s and buyer’s limited agents, dual agents, designated agents, and Missouri’s default transaction-broker status. National courses treat that material as an afterthought. Our bank holds 5,639 questions on the Missouri state outline alone, so the portion with the higher passing bar (75%, not 70%) can be drilled on its own until it stops being the risk.

Fresh practice exams, drawn to the blueprint. Each full practice exam is generated fresh for that attempt, weighted to the real exam’s structure — the national portion’s topic weights and the state portion’s six areas in their published proportions. Questions you have not seen come first, and you never sit the same exam twice. That matters in Missouri, where the two portions are scored separately: a blended practice score can hide a state portion sitting below its line, so the program reports your readiness portion by portion, not as one average.

Topic drills that follow the official outlines. Drill a single outline area — contracts, financing, Missouri business conduct and practices — or sit a full timed simulation. Your results break down by outline area, and per-question analytics track how every item performs across students once the program opens, so weak areas show up in your practice data before they show up on a PSI score report.

Questions that stay honest. Every item in the program is monitored from real student responses once enrollment opens. Questions that 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 just as it shipped.

An honest note on coverage. We count our bank question by question and publish the counts below, including where they are thin. Four national outline areas carry small counts under their own topic labels — Agency (50 questions), Property Disclosures (23), Property Management (20), and Real Estate Calculations (11) — even though the exam weights them at 13, 7, 3, and 7 questions respectively. Agency and disclosure concepts also appear inside broader practice and brokerage questions, but we do not claim the bank’s distribution mirrors the exam’s weights, because under its own labels it does not. If you enroll, drill those four areas early and often; the counts are in the table so you can plan around them, not discover them later.

  • You must pass both portions. The portions are scored separately; a strong national score does not offset a state score below 75%, or the reverse.
  • The fee does not reward waiting. PSI charges $52 whether you take one portion or both, and retakes are also $52 for one or both portions. Registration fees are not refundable and expire one year after you register.
  • Experimental questions are mixed in. PSI may administer 5 to 10 additional unscored questions during a sitting. They are not identified, they do not affect your result, and they count against your time — pace for more than 140 questions, not exactly 140.
  • Missouri’s education sequence is unusual, so plan it early. You complete a 48-hour pre-examination salesperson course from an accredited Missouri school on or before the exam date, pass both portions, and complete the 24-hour Missouri Real Estate Practice Course (MREP) before you apply for the license. The MREP course may be taken before or after the exam. Your license application is due within six months of completing the 48-hour course — that clock starts before you ever sit the exam.
  • This program is preparation, not education credit. PassProfessor does not provide any of Missouri’s required course hours. The 48-hour and 24-hour courses must be completed with an accredited Missouri real estate school.

How the practice maps to the real exam

Every question in the Missouri bank is tagged to an area of PSI’s published content outlines — the national outline for the national portion and the Missouri state outline for the state portion. Counts below are the bank itself, counted question by question from the topic labels in the delivered workbook. They are the real distribution, including the thin areas flagged above.

Read the table the way a study plan should be read. The deepest benches — Practice of Real Estate, Property Ownership, Business Conduct and Practices, Transfer of Title, and Financing — let you drill for a long time without repeating items. The shallow benches — Calculations, Property Management, Property Disclosures, and Agency under their own labels — are short drills, best used early and revisited, with the related material inside the broader topic sets carrying the rest of the repetitions. We would rather show you that shape now than let a marketing sentence hide it.

How to use it

  1. Join the notify list today. When enrollment opens, start with the free sample exam — a fixed set of Missouri questions across both portions, enough to see how the program works and where you stand on each portion separately.
  2. Drill the Missouri state portion early. It is 40 questions with the higher bar — 75% — and it is the most concrete material on the exam: license types and fees, escrow deadlines, advertising rules, disciplinary causes, and the brokerage-relationship duties in Chapter 339. Most candidates leave state law for last; the score report is where that shows.
  3. Drill by outline area, weakest first. Work the areas your sample exposed — and give the four thin-labeled areas (Agency, Property Disclosures, Property Management, Real Estate Calculations) deliberate attention, because the real exam weights Agency and Calculations far above what their drill counts suggest.
  4. Sit full generated exams against the clock, portion by portion. 100 national questions in 150 minutes and 40 state questions in 120 minutes are two different pacing problems, and each portion must clear its own bar. Practice them the way PSI scores them: separately.
  5. Book the real exam through PSI when your practice results sit comfortably above 70% on the national portion and 75% on the state portion at the same time — then protect the six-month application window that runs from your 48-hour course completion date.

Pricing

Pricing for the Missouri program has not been set yet, and we will not guess at it here. It will be announced when enrollment opens — join the notify list and the launch email will carry it. Whenever you enroll, the standard site terms apply: our refund policy gives you 14 days provided you have attempted less than 20% of the program (see the site Terms for the full policy).

Frequently asked questions

How many questions are on the Missouri real estate exam? The salesperson exam has 140 scored questions: 100 on the national portion and 40 on the Missouri state portion. PSI may also administer 5 to 10 unscored experimental questions during a sitting; they are not identified and they count against your time, so the sitting can feel longer than 140 questions.

What score do I need to pass the Missouri real estate exam? You need 70% on the national portion (70 of 100 points) and 75% on the state portion (30 of 40 points), per the examination summary table in PSI’s Missouri candidate handbook. The portions are scored separately, and you must pass both — one portion’s score cannot compensate for the other.

How much does the Missouri real estate exam cost? The exam fee is $52, paid to PSI when you register, and it is the same whether you take one portion or both. Retakes are also $52 for one or both portions. Registration fees are not refundable and expire one year after registering. Licensing costs after you pass are separate: the salesperson license application fee is $100, paid to the Missouri Real Estate Commission, and fingerprinting through IDEMIA (IdentoGo) is $40.50.

Who administers the Missouri real estate exam? PSI Services LLC administers the exam for the Missouri Real Estate Commission. You register and schedule through PSI — online at its Missouri test-taker site or by phone at (888) 818-5829 — and you may test at a PSI test center or by remote proctoring.

What do I need before I can take the Missouri exam? For the standard path, you must be at least 18 years old and complete the 48-hour pre-examination salesperson course from an accredited Missouri real estate school on or before the exam date. After passing both portions, you complete the 24-hour Missouri Real Estate Practice Course (MREP) — which may be taken before or after the exam — and submit your license application within six months of completing the 48-hour course. All original license applicants are also fingerprinted for a Missouri and federal criminal history background check before applying.

Does this program count toward Missouri’s required education hours? No. PassProfessor is exam preparation only. It provides no pre-licensing education credit and is not a substitute for the 48-hour pre-examination course or the 24-hour Missouri Real Estate Practice Course, both of which must be completed with an accredited Missouri real estate school.

If I fail one portion, do I retake the whole exam? No. The portions are scored separately, and PSI’s fee is $52 whether you take one portion or both, so a single-portion retake costs the same $52. Your emailed score report includes diagnostic information about your strengths and weaknesses, which is the starting point for a focused retake plan. Remember the larger clock: your license application is due within six months of completing your 48-hour course, so retake promptly.

How long do I have to apply for my license after passing? On the standard path, your complete application must reach the Missouri Real Estate Commission within six months of the date you completed the 48-hour pre-examination course — a deadline set by your course completion, not by your exam date. Licensed attorneys applying without the education requirement work to a six-month window counted from passing instead; the candidate handbook lays out each path.

Are these the actual exam questions? No. Every PassProfessor question is written by us, from scratch, to PSI’s published Missouri content outlines and Missouri 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.

Can I take the Missouri real estate exam online? Yes. PSI offers this exam at test centers and by remote proctoring. Remote sessions carry their own rules — no breaks are allowed, no scratch paper is permitted, and you must start within 15 minutes of your booked time or forfeit the fee — so read PSI’s remote-testing protocols in the candidate handbook before choosing that format.

When can I enroll in the Missouri program? Soon — the 19,996-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, with the launch pricing and the free sample exam.
