Free Connecticut Real Estate Practice Exam Online

Correct answer: A. 60 hours

Connecticut requires 60 hours of approved education in a Real Estate Principles and Practices course before an applicant may sit for the salesperson exam.

• B: 30 hours understates Connecticut's actual requirement and does not match the single Real Estate Principles and Practices course DCP requires.
• C: 45 hours is not the figure used by the Connecticut Department of Consumer Protection for salesperson pre-licensing.
• D: 90 hours overstates the requirement; that figure is closer to combined broker-track coursework requirements, not the base salesperson pre-licensing hours.

Correct answer: B. No, the course must be DCP-approved to satisfy the requirement, regardless of where or how it was delivered

Connecticut requires the pre-licensing course to be approved by the Department of Consumer Protection; an unapproved out-of-state course, regardless of delivery format, does not satisfy this requirement.

• A: There is no automatic nationwide reciprocity for pre-licensing coursework; each state sets its own course-approval standards, and Connecticut requires DCP approval specifically.
• C: Passing the national exam does not retroactively validate an unapproved course; DCP approval of the course itself is the requirement, independent of exam sequencing.
• D: The requirement is DCP course approval, not a specific institution type; community college courses qualify only if they are themselves DCP-approved, and non-college DCP-approved providers qualify equally.

Correct answer: C. An 80-question national/general portion and a 30-question Connecticut state-specific portion

The Connecticut salesperson exam consists of an 80-question national/general portion and a 30-question state-specific portion (each including a small number of unscored pretest items), both administered by PSI.

• A: The exam is not a single 50-question combined test; it separates general and state-specific content into two distinct subtests, each with its own scored requirement.
• B: The exam is not purely national content; a dedicated state-specific portion tests Connecticut license law and practice.
• D: The Connecticut licensing exam is a proctored written (computer-based) test, not an oral interview.

Correct answer: D. At least 70% on both the national and state-specific portions

Candidates must score at least 70% on both the national portion and the state-specific portion to pass the Connecticut salesperson exam.

• A: A 50%-on-either-portion standard understates the actual passing threshold and misstates that both portions, not just one, must independently meet the passing score.
• B: A 100% requirement on the state portion is not the actual standard; 70% is required on each portion, not a perfect score on either.
• C: The exam does have a defined minimum passing score (70%) on each portion; it is not pass/fail based on mere completion.

Correct answer: A. Title 20, Chapter 392 of the Connecticut General Statutes

Chapter 392 of Title 20 ("Real Estate Licensees") is the correct citation governing real estate broker and salesperson licensure in Connecticut.

• B: Title 46a, Chapter 814c covers the Connecticut Human Rights and Opportunities Act, including housing discrimination, not real estate licensure itself.
• C: Title 47a covers landlord-tenant law (leases, evictions), a separate body of law from real estate agent/broker licensing.
• D: Title 12 covers state taxation, unrelated to real estate licensing requirements.
