CT quirk: a detailed 30-question state section plus a roughly $385 license activation fee — one of the highest in the country. Failing the state section gets expensive fast.

What the Connecticut exam actually looks like

The Connecticut Department of Consumer Protection (DCP) requires 60 hours of approved Salesperson pre-license education before you can sit for the state exam at PSI.

The exam is 110 multiple-choice questions split into two sections — 80 national + 30 Connecticut-specific — scored independently. You need 70% on each section (56 of 80 + 21 of 30).

Statewide first-attempt pass rates hover around 55%. Click2CE students pass at 92% because the question bank is built around the DCP blueprint, CGS Chapter 392, and CT’s unusual depth on agency disclosures, septic/well disclosures, and condo law.
