About the Exam
Test Components
The SAFE Mortgage Loan Originator Test consists of the National with Uniform State Test (UST).
The National Component of the SAFE Mortgage Loan Originator Test consists of 120 test questions:
- 115 scored questions
- 5 not scored questions (pre-test)
The test time will be 190 minutes, with an additional 30 minutes for completing a tutorial and an optional candidate survey.
NOTE: The 5 pre-test (un-scored) questions appearing on the National Component do not affect the candidate’s score or the pass/fail result. The pretest questions appear on the test in random order. The candidate will not know which questions are pre-test and which questions are scored.
