About the Mississippi Real Estate Exam
The Mississippi real estate salesperson licensing exam is administered by PSI Services on behalf of the Mississippi Real Estate Commission (MREC). Before sitting for the exam, candidates must complete 60 hours of MREC-approved pre-license education and submit an application with three recommendations from real estate property owners. Once MREC approves the application, candidates have only a 2-month window to schedule and pass the exam — one of the shortest windows among states. No online proctoring is available; all testing is in person at PSI centers.
The exam has 120 scored questions: 80 national (150 minutes, 70% passing) and 40 Mississippi-specific (90 minutes, 75% passing). Note the split passing scores — Mississippi's state section requires a higher threshold (75%) than the national section (70%). If you fail the state portion twice within the 2-month window, you must wait 3 months and reapply. Within one year of passing the exam, new salespersons must complete a 30-hour post-license course.

Study Tips for the Mississippi Real Estate Exam
Mississippi's most distinctive exam feature is the split passing scores — 70% on national but 75% on the state section. This means you need 30 of 40 state-specific questions correct, which is 75%. Many candidates pass the national but fail the state. Focus significant study time on MREC rules, trust accounts, and Mississippi-specific agency law. The 2-month exam window is also critical — miss it and you must reapply and repay all fees. No online proctoring means you must plan for an in-person PSI testing center visit.
