Enrollment open: 16,514 original practice questions mapped to PSI’s current Ohio content outlines. Enroll today and start with free sample questions.
Ohio’s salesperson exam is two exams in one sitting: an 80-question national portion and a 40-question Ohio portion, given by PSI for the Division of Real Estate & Professional Licensing, and you must pass each portion on its own — 70% on the national portion and 70% on the Ohio portion. PassProfessor’s Ohio program gives you 16,514 original practice questions built on PSI’s current Ohio candidate bulletin outlines — 11,075 on the national topics and 5,439 on Ohio law, licensing, and agency — with fresh blueprint-weighted practice exams generated for every attempt, topic drills for every outline area, and per-question analytics that show you exactly where your misses are coming from. Free sample questions are included.
What’s included
An Ohio bank, sized to the whole exam. Ohio’s outline runs from property ownership and the 19% contracts block on the national side to the License Law and Rules and Brokerage Relationships sections that make up 30 of the 40 Ohio-portion questions. Our bank holds 16,514 questions, so you can drill a single area — real estate calculations, Ohio license law, agency — for as long as it takes to stick, without cycling through the same items.
Fresh 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 heaviest on the national side, License Law and Rules and Brokerage Relationships heaviest on the Ohio side. 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 — Ohio fair housing inside License Law and Rules, transfer-of-title problems, financing — or sit the full 120-question simulation against the clock: 120 minutes for the national portion, 60 for the Ohio portion. Your results break down by outline area, so a weak area shows up in your practice data before it shows up on a score report.
Per-question analytics that find your weak topics. Every question in the program is monitored from real student responses. Your own results are reported back to you by outline area, and across the program, questions students find suspiciously easy or suspiciously hard are pulled for review — anything found wrong is fixed or retired, so the bank you practice on is the bank as it should be, not as it shipped.
The real exam at a glance
Current as of October 2026, per the Ohio Division of Real Estate & Professional Licensing and PSI’s Ohio Real Estate Salesperson and Broker Candidate Information Bulletin (copyright 2026, revision dated 7/1/2026). Full detail — eligibility, registration, retakes, test day — is in our Ohio real estate exam guide.
| National portion | Ohio state portion | |
|---|---|---|
| Scored questions | 80 | 40 |
| Time allowed | 120 minutes | 60 minutes |
| Passing standard | 70% (56 of 80) | 70% (28 of 40) |
| Exam fee (portion taken alone) | $46 | $43 |
- The exam is administered by PSI Services LLC for the Ohio Division of Real Estate & Professional Licensing (Ohio Department of Commerce). Taken together in one session, the two portions cost $66 — less than the $46 + $43 charged separately. Exam fees are nonrefundable and nontransferable.
- The two portions are scored separately. Passing one and failing the other means you retake only the portion you failed — but both portions must be passed within 12 months of the date on your initial Candidate Information Bulletin, or the file closes and you start over.
- PSI may mix in 5 to 10 unscored experimental questions. They do not affect your result, you cannot tell which they are, and the time they take comes out of your portion’s clock.
- You take both portions in the same examination session unless you have already passed one of them — Ohio does not let you split a first attempt across two sittings. You can test at a PSI test center in Ohio or by remote online proctoring.
- Before you can schedule, you complete 100 hours of pre-licensing education (reduced from 120 hours effective April 9, 2025), find a sponsoring Ohio broker, apply to the Division online through eLicense, and complete a fingerprint-based BCI and FBI criminal records check. This program is exam preparation only — it is not pre-licensing education and provides no education credit.
How the practice maps to the real exam
Every question in the Ohio bank is tagged to an area of PSI’s current Ohio 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.
| Official outline area (scored questions on the real exam) | Practice questions |
|---|---|
| National portion (80 scored) | |
| I. Property Ownership (10% — about 8) | 1,074 |
| II. Land Use Controls (5% — about 4) | 545 |
| III. Valuation (8% — about 6) | 902 |
| IV. Financing (10% — about 8) | 1,074 |
| V. Contracts (19% — about 15) | 2,051 |
| VI. Agency (13% — about 10) | 1,385 |
| VII. Property Disclosures (7% — about 6) | 788 |
| VIII. Property Management (3% — about 2) | 337 |
| IX. Transfer of Title (6% — about 5) | 642 |
| X. Practice of Real Estate (12% — about 10) | 1,345 |
| XI. Real Estate Calculations (7% — about 6) | 932 |
| Ohio state portion (40 scored) | |
| State Governance of the Real Estate Profession (4) | 529 |
| Licensing Requirements (6) | 837 |
| License Law and Rules of the Ohio Real Estate Commission (16) | 2,162 |
| Brokerage Relationships (Agency Law) (14) | 1,911 |
| Total (120 scored) | 16,514 |
Every outline area carries practice questions — there are no empty sections in this bank. The Ohio portion’s two biggest areas, License Law and Rules and Brokerage Relationships, together hold 4,073 questions, reflecting their 30-of-40 weight on the real exam.
How to use it
- Start with free sample questions — a fixed set of Ohio questions across both portions, enough to see how the program works and where you stand.
- Drill by outline area. Work the areas the sample exposed, area by area — and give the Ohio portion its own dedicated block. It is a third of your scored questions, it is scored separately, and it is the portion national prep products cover worst.
- Sit full generated exams against the clock. 80 questions in 120 minutes, then 40 in 60, in one session, the way PSI administers them. Practice the pace and the portion switch, not just the material.
- Watch your area breakdown — per portion. Because each portion must reach 70% on its own, track your readiness separately for the national and Ohio portions. A strong blended score can hide an Ohio portion sitting below the line.
- Book the real exam through PSI once your practice scores sit comfortably above passing on both portions — remembering that both portions must be passed inside your 12-month eligibility window.
Pricing
The Ohio program is $49 for full access to all 16,514 questions. If the program isn’t for you once you enroll, 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).
Verified questions
Every question in this program is original — written for PassProfessor from the official exam blueprint, never copied from a test bank or another provider’s materials. Before enrollment opened, each answer key was independently verified: reviewers re-answered sampled questions blind, disagreements were settled against the primary sources, and every numeric answer was recomputed from first principles. Questions whose facts could not be confirmed were removed, and the bank passed a text-overlap screen. Practice exams draw a fresh, blueprint-weighted set from the full bank on every attempt, so no two practice exams are the same.
Frequently asked questions
How many questions are on the Ohio real estate exam? The salesperson exam has 120 scored questions: 80 on the national portion and 40 on the Ohio state portion, taken in a single session. PSI may also administer 5 to 10 unscored experimental questions, which do not affect your result but do count against your time.
Who administers the Ohio real estate exam? PSI Services LLC administers the exam for the Ohio Division of Real Estate & Professional Licensing, part of the Ohio Department of Commerce. The Division decides eligibility first; PSI schedules and delivers the test, at Ohio test centers and by remote online proctoring.
What score do I need to pass the Ohio real estate exam? 70% on each portion, separately — 56 of 80 on the national portion and 28 of 40 on the Ohio portion, per PSI’s current candidate bulletin and the Ohio Administrative Code. A strong national score cannot carry a weak Ohio score: each portion must pass on its own.
How much does the Ohio real estate exam cost? The exam fee is $66 when both portions are taken together in one session, paid to PSI. Taken separately, the national portion is $46 and the Ohio portion is $43. Separately, the Division’s Salesperson Examination Application carries an $81 fee. Exam fees are nonrefundable and nontransferable.
What do I need before I can take the exam? You must be at least 18, a U.S. citizen or legal alien, honest and truthful, with no disqualifying offense and a high school diploma or equivalent (if born after 1950). You must complete 100 hours of pre-licensing education — Real Estate Principles and Practices (40 hours), Ohio Real Estate Law including civil rights and housing discrimination (40 hours), Real Estate Appraisal (10 hours), and Real Estate Finance (10 hours) — be sponsored by an Ohio broker, apply to the Division online through eLicense (paper applications are not accepted), and complete a fingerprint-based criminal records check covering both Ohio BCI and FBI records within 10 days of submitting your application.
If I fail one portion, do I retake the whole exam? No. You retake only the portion you failed. You submit a retake application service request and the appropriate fee to the Division online; once the Division notifies PSI of your renewed eligibility, you register and schedule again. The retake must happen inside the same 12-month window that started with your initial Candidate Information Bulletin — if the window closes first, you start the process over with a new application.
How long do I have to pass both portions? Twelve months from the date on the label of your initial Candidate Information Bulletin from PSI. Pass one portion in month two and the other in month thirteen and the file has already closed — both passes must land inside the window.
Can I take the Ohio exam online? Yes. PSI offers the Ohio exams by remote online proctoring as well as at test centers. The bulletin sets separate rules for remote testing — including a computer compatibility check before your appointment, no breaks during a remotely proctored exam, and forfeiture if you do not start within 15 minutes of your booked time — so read those rules before choosing that route.
Are these the actual exam questions? No. Every PassProfessor question is written by us, from scratch, to PSI’s published Ohio content outlines and Ohio 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.
Does this program count toward my 100 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 100 hours of required education, which must be completed before you apply.
What happens after I pass? Passing both portions inside the 12-month window completes the examination requirement for licensure through the Division, with your sponsoring broker. One more education step follows licensure: new salespersons must complete 20 hours of post-licensure instruction within 12 months after the license is issued.
How do I enroll in the Ohio program? Enrollment is open. Enroll on this page for $49 and you get immediate access to the full program — all 16,514 questions, the topic drills for both portions, and the generated practice exams — starting with free sample questions if you want to look around first.
