Everything you need to know about passing the New Jersey PSI Real Estate Salesperson exam — the path, the fees, and where LicensePass fits in.
An approved NJ real estate school must provide 75 hours of instruction. Online and in-person options are available.
NJ requires a criminal background check via IdentoGO. Schedule at identogo.com; results go directly to the Commission.
The 75-hour course teaches you the material, but it doesn't prepare you for the PSI exam format. This is where most candidates get stuck — and where targeted exam prep makes the difference.
LicensePass: This is where LicensePass comes in. Work through the lessons and practice questions, then follow a personalized study plan until your readiness score hits 80%.
