MA quirk: Lowest pre-license hours in New England (40) but a notoriously hard state section. Chapter 93A Consumer Protection and Chapter 111 §197A lead paint show up on nearly every exam.

What the Massachusetts exam actually looks like

The Massachusetts Board of Registration of Real Estate Brokers and Salespersons requires only 40 hours of approved pre-license education before you can sit for the Salesperson exam at PSI — the lowest in New England.

The exam is 120 multiple-choice questions split into two sections — 80 national + 40 Massachusetts-specific — scored independently. You need 70% on each section (56 of 80 + 28 of 40).

Statewide first-attempt pass rates hover around 55%, largely because the 40-hour course can’t cover MA-specific material in the depth the exam requires. Click2CE students pass at 92% — the question bank is purpose-built around Chapter 93A, lead paint disclosure, Title 5 septic, condominium law, and MA agency rules.

Massachusetts real estate exam — frequently asked questions

How many pre-license hours does Massachusetts require?

Massachusetts requires only 40 hours of pre-license education through a school approved by the Massachusetts Board of Registration of Real Estate Brokers and Salespersons — the lowest pre-license requirement in New England.

Why is Massachusetts’ pre-license so short but the exam so hard?

MA emphasizes brevity in the classroom but compensates with a state exam that goes deep on Chapter 93A (Consumer Protection), Chapter 111 §197A (lead paint disclosure), Title 5 septic, condominium law, and Massachusetts agency law. The 40-hour course can’t cover all of it deeply — which is why Massachusetts has one of the lower first-attempt pass rates in the country (~55%).

What is the format of the Massachusetts real estate exam?

The Massachusetts Salesperson exam is administered by PSI and contains 120 multiple-choice questions: 80 national + 40 Massachusetts-specific. Scored independently. You have approximately 4 hours total.

What is the passing score on the Massachusetts real estate exam?

You need 70% on each section independently — 56 of 80 on the national section AND 28 of 40 on the Massachusetts section. Failing either section means you fail the exam.

How much does the Massachusetts real estate exam cost?

The PSI exam fee is $54 per attempt. The MA Salesperson license fee is $103 (issued for a roughly 2-year cycle). If you fail one section, you only retake that section, but each retake costs the full $54.

What unique Massachusetts topics are heavily tested?

MA-specific topics include Chapter 93A Consumer Protection (very heavily tested), Chapter 111 §197A Lead Paint Disclosure (mandatory pre-1978 housing), Title 5 septic system rules, MA condominium law (Chapter 183A), agency disclosures, and the strict trust-account rules under MA Board regulations.

Do I need a sponsoring broker before activating in Massachusetts?

Yes. Massachusetts requires you to be sponsored by an active MA broker to activate your Salesperson license. You can pass the exam first, but you cannot practice until your broker submits the affiliation through the MA Board.

How does Massachusetts continuing education work?

Active Massachusetts Salespersons must complete 12 hours of continuing education every 2-year license cycle, including required Board-mandated Core topics (Fair Housing, Lead Paint, License Law) plus electives. Click2CE offers MA Board-approved CE bundles.
