OneTryPass wrote these questions from Michigan law, the commission's rules and the exam vendor's handbook. Pick an answer to see if you got it; each explanation names the section it comes from.
Section 4 of the Seller Disclosure Act (MCL 565.954) requires delivery before the seller executes a binding purchase agreement. A copy given to the buyer’s agent counts as given to the buyer.
Under MCL 565.954(3), the buyer may terminate by written notice within 72 hours of in-person delivery, or 120 hours if the statement came by registered mail. The right ends once the property is transferred by deed or installment sales contract.
The act covers transfers of 1 to 4 residential units, land contracts included, but section 3 exempts court-ordered transfers such as foreclosure sales, transfers to a spouse, parent, child or grandchild, and transfers to or from a government entity.
PSI’s Michigan content outline lists “no disclosure duty attaches to stigmatized property” among the statutory requirements governing licensees. Physical defects are a separate matter and belong on the Seller’s Disclosure Statement.
$250,000 ÷ $500 = 500 units, and 500 × $3.75 = $1,875. The Michigan Department of Treasury says the seller is legally responsible for the tax, which is paid when the deed is recorded.

Michigan salesperson applicants complete 40 hours of approved prelicensure courses with at least 4 hours on civil rights law and equal opportunity in housing. For a first license, the course stays valid for 36 months.
The salesperson exam has 115 questions worth 115 points; 70%, or a raw score of 80, passes, and candidates get 180 minutes. The broker exam needs 75%, a raw score of 90 out of 120 points.
LARA says a salesperson shall be licensed to a broker and not to more than one broker at the same time. A salesperson also cannot hold a broker or associate broker license while holding the salesperson license.
LARA requires at least 2 hours on laws, rules and court cases and 1 hour on fair housing in every year of the 3-year cycle, and at least 18 clock hours over the whole cycle. The CE must be done before the renewal application.
LARA says exam results are valid for one year from the date of passing, and an application is valid for one year from the date of payment.
PSI gives one combined exam of 115 questions, worth 115 points, in 180 minutes. Up to ten unscored experimental questions can be mixed in, and they eat into your time.
The Michigan laws and rules part weighs heavily on licensee conduct (10 items on advertising, trust money, disclosure and similar rules) and on other state laws (12 items, from the Land Division Act to the Elliott-Larsen Civil Rights Act).
A raw score of 80, which PSI lists as 70%. If you pass you only see “PASS”; if you fail you get a score for each major section, which tells you what to study before you retake it.
Forty hours of approved prelicensure courses, with at least 4 hours on civil rights law and fair housing. The certificate counts for 36 months, so you have time to schedule the exam.
Once licensed, plan on 18 hours of continuing education per 3-year cycle, including 2 hours of law and 1 hour of fair housing every single year.

Your result posts to your MiPLUS application. You then enter your employing broker’s 10-digit license number, and LARA issues the license once that broker approves. The passing result is good for one year, so line up a broker early.
