Can I take my OH State Exam if I don't have a sponsoring broker?

The Ohio Salesperson Pre-licensure Exam consists of two sections. A National section will ask 80 multiple-choice questions. A passing score is 70%. The State section will ask 40 multiple-choice questions. A passing score is 70%.

You will be tested on national and state real estate-related content. Topics include property ownership, land use controls, financing, market analysis, property disclosures, and contracts. State-specific questions ask about the commission, licensing, rules of the OREC, and brokerage relationships.

You don’t need to, but you can. Only non-programmable calculators that are silent, battery-operated, and do not have an alphabetic keyboard are allowed.

You will need to bring (2) forms of identification. One must be state or federal government-issued, like a driver’s license or passport. The secondary form can be another primary ID or something which contains your signature, like a credit or debit card.

PSI can accommodate testing modifications in accordance with the ADA. Anyone requesting accommodations must fill out the accommodations request form and submit documentation from a medical authority or specialist about their limitations.

Don’t bring any personal belongings into the testing center. Wallets and keys can be placed in provided storage. No food or drink is allowed in the exam room. You can use the restroom, but you will not receive extra time.

No, because your exam application requires you to have a sponsoring broker. Your application won’t be approved unless you have a hiring broker.

No, because in Ohio passing the state exam is the last step before you are issued your license. If you pass, you automatically receive your salesperson license.

Congratulations! PSI will notify the Ohio Division of Real Estate and Professional Licensing you have passed the exam. The ODRE will issue your salesperson license in a few business days.
