You've covered the content — now make it stick and learn to take the test efficiently. The PSI exam rewards steady pacing and careful reading more than cramming.
Study plan for the final stretch
- Cycle the flashcard decks daily; let spaced repetition surface your weak spots.
- Take every practice quiz until you consistently score 80%+.
- Re-read the Advanced math lesson and do the worked examples by hand.
- Skim Virginia-specific lessons the day before — state facts are easy points.
Test-day tactics
- Read each question fully — watch for 'except,' 'not,' and 'best.'
- Eliminate obviously wrong answers first, then choose.
- Flag and skip hard questions; return after the easy points are banked.
- Manage time: know how many questions and minutes you have, and pace evenly.
- Don't second-guess — your first instinct is usually right unless you misread.
Know which exam you are taking
- Salesperson: National 80 Q / 105 min (pass 56) + State 40 Q / 45 min (pass 30).
- Broker: National 75 Q scored to 80 points / 105 min (pass 60) + State 50 Q / 55 min (pass 38). Some national broker items are worth two points.
- Both tracks: apply to DPOR within 1 year of the initial exam date or you retest.
- This app's combined 120-question mock matches the salesperson blueprint. Broker candidates should overweight escrow, supervision, and licensing on review.
PSI scores each portion separately — you must pass both. In this app, salesperson simulations use pass marks aligned with the bulletin (national 56/80, state 30/40). Always confirm the current official passing standard with PSI and DPOR before exam day.
