What the Ohio exam actually looks like
The Ohio Division of Real Estate and Professional Licensing (ODREPL) requires 120 hours of approved Salesperson pre-license education before you can sit for the state exam — significantly above the 60–75 hour national average. Once that’s complete, you sit for the Salesperson exam at a PSI testing center.
The exam is 120 multiple-choice questions split into two sections — 80 national + 40 Ohio-specific — scored independently. You need 70% on each section (56 of 80 + 28 of 40). Fail either and you fail the exam.
Statewide first-attempt pass rates hover around 60%. Click2CE students pass at 92% because the question bank is built specifically around the ODREPL blueprint, ORC Chapter 4735, and Ohio’s Civil Rights and Canon of Ethics requirements.

Ohio real estate exam — frequently asked questions
How many pre-license hours does Ohio require?
Ohio requires 120 hours of ODREPL-approved Salesperson pre-license education through a school approved by the Ohio Division of Real Estate and Professional Licensing (ODREPL) before you can sit for the state exam — well above the 60–75 hour national average.
What is the format of the Ohio real estate exam?
The Ohio Salesperson exam is administered by PSI and contains 120 multiple-choice questions: 80 national questions and 40 Ohio-specific questions. The two sections are scored independently. You have approximately 3.5 hours total.
What is the passing score on the Ohio real estate exam?
You need 70% on each section independently — 56 of 80 on the national section AND 28 of 40 on the Ohio section. Failing either section means you fail the exam.
How much does the Ohio real estate exam cost?
The PSI exam fee is $63 per attempt. The ODREPL Salesperson application fee is $81. If you fail one section, you only retake that section, but each retake costs the full $63.
Do I need a sponsoring broker before activating in Ohio?
Yes. Ohio requires a sponsoring broker before ODREPL will activate your Salesperson license. You can pass the exam first, but the license is not active until your sponsoring broker submits the affiliation through ODREPL.
What is Ohio post-licensing education?
Within the first 12 months of getting your Salesperson license, Ohio requires you to complete 20 hours of post-licensing education across four 5-hour ODREPL-mandated topics (Civil Rights, Canon of Ethics, Core Law, and others). If you miss the 12-month window, your license is suspended until you complete the hours.
How does Ohio continuing education work?
Active Ohio Salespersons and Brokers must complete 30 hours of continuing education every 3 years to renew — broken down as 9 mandatory core hours (3 hours each of Core Law, Civil Rights, and Canon of Ethics) plus 21 elective hours. Click2CE offers ODREPL-approved CE bundles.
How long does it take to get an Ohio real estate license?
Most candidates take 4–6 months due to the 120-hour education requirement. Full-time learners can finish coursework in 4–5 weeks; part-time learners typically take 3–4 months. Add 4–6 weeks for fingerprinting, ODREPL application processing, and exam scheduling.

The Ohio Real Estate Market
Ohio’s real estate market is built around its “Three C’s” — the fast-growing capital, Columbus (boosted by major investments like Intel’s semiconductor project), Cleveland in the northeast, and Cincinnati in the southwest — along with the Dayton and Toledo markets. Affordable prices and a diversified economy keep all three metros active.
Who Regulates Real Estate in Ohio
Your Ohio license is issued and regulated by the Ohio Division of Real Estate and Professional Licensing (ODRE). Knowing how to reach the ODRE — and its rules on retakes and license types — keeps your path to licensure on track.
Licensed Near Ohio? Explore Neighboring States
Real estate licenses are state-specific, so each neighboring state runs its own exam and rules. If you practice across state lines or are comparing markets, check the requirements for the states bordering Ohio. Always confirm current reciprocity and license- recognition agreements directly with the ODRE.
Which Ohio metro is growing the fastest for real estate?
Columbus has been Ohio’s growth leader, driven by state government, Ohio State University, and large new employers including a major Intel semiconductor development. Cleveland and Cincinnati offer established, more affordable markets, so a new agent’s experience varies noticeably by metro.
