Frequently Asked Questions

What should I expect on the Connecticut portion of the exam?

Connecticut-specific questions are often highly detailed and can be more challenging than the national portion. Many test-takers recommend trusting your instincts when unsure and thoroughly studying the fine points of Connecticut licensing rules.

Any specific study strategies for the Connecticut portion?

Reread through the books as much as possible. There are only a max of 7–8 math questions so don’t worry too much about that. They do ask minutiae so be prepared.

Is the CT exam harder than the national part?

Although many find the national portion straightforward, the Connecticut-specific section can be surprisingly detailed, especially regarding licensing rules, agency law, and local disclosures.

How should I pace my exam approach?

Use a two-pass method: quickly answer confident questions, flag the rest, then review flagged items. Take your time to read carefully, eliminate wrong choices, and ensure math accuracy.

How do I overcome test anxiety and second-guessing?

Label questions based on confidence (A – sure, B – unsure, C – math), complete the A group first, skip B and C, then return for review. Look for clues in later questions, you may find hidden answers.
