Pass the Connecticut
Real Estate Exam.
First Try.
The Connecticut real estate exam is administered by the Department of Consumer Protection and is notable because Connecticut requires an attorney to be present at all real estate closings — a fact that shapes how agency and escrow questions are framed on the exam. The state portion also tests Connecticut's specific agency disclosure timing requirements and the Connecticut Property Condition Disclosure Report, which must be provided early in the transaction rather than at closing.
