Master the New York Real Estate Exam (January 2026)

Ready to launch your New York real estate career? You're in exactly the right place.

This comprehensive practice exam focuses on the 50 state-specific questions you'll face on the New York licensing exam. Combined with the 75 national questions, you'll be tackling a total of 125 multiple-choice questions on test day.

While this section zeroes in on New York-specific content, we recommend pairing it with national practice exams to cover all bases. Together, these resources give you the complete preparation you need to walk into that testing center with confidence.

Pro Tip: The most successful test-takers do two things consistently—they practice with realistic exam questions AND they study the actual New York real estate statutes. Questions on your exam are pulled directly from state laws, so knowing them isn't just helpful, it's essential.

Think of this practice exam as your training ground. Each question mirrors the format and difficulty level you'll encounter on the real test. But don't stop here—diving into the actual legal statutes below will give you the deeper understanding that separates those who pass from those who excel.

Your New York Exam Questions Answered

Let's clear up the most common questions about the New York real estate licensing exam:

What Do I Need to Get My New York Real Estate License?

The path to licensure in New York has several key requirements:

  • Be at least 18 years old
  • Complete 75 hours of state-approved pre-licensing education
  • Pass the state licensing examination (both national and state portions)
  • Be sponsored by a licensed New York broker
  • Budget for exam fees and licensing costs

Is the New York Real Estate Exam Difficult?

Let's be honest—this exam is designed to be challenging. It's meant to ensure that only serious, well-prepared candidates enter the profession. You need to score 70% or higher on both portions to pass. Breaking down the numbers: that's at least 53 correct answers out of 75 on the national section, and 35 out of 50 on the New York section.

What's My Margin for Error?

You can miss up to 22 questions on the national portion and up to 15 questions on the state portion while still achieving a passing score. That said, aim higher—the more you know, the more confident you'll feel.

What If I Don't Pass on My First Try?

Here's some good news: you can retake the exam. However, you must pass within a certain timeframe of completing your pre-licensing education. Check with New York's Department of State for current retake policies and waiting periods.
