New York Real Estate Salesperson 30-Day Study Plan (2026)
Taking the New York Real Estate Salesperson exam next month? Days 1–14 read the 5 content areas in the order of our estimated weighting, starting with New York License Law and Agency at 24%. Days 15–21 are timed topic drills against 398 free practice questions. Days 22–28 are three full 75-question, 90-minute mocks with a repair day after each. Days 29 and 30 are a skim and a rest.
Every chapter, drill and mock below is free on PrepPass. Nothing on this page is an official exam fact — the weights are the ones our study chapters carry, and the 70% figure we use in week 4 is our own readiness bar for this question bank, not a passing score published by New York Department of State (DOS).
