Exam Tip
Pennsylvania licensing questions test NMLS application routing, 20-hour PE with 3 Pennsylvania-law hours, 75 percent passing score, retest waits, 8-hour CE with 1 Pennsylvania-law hour, annual renewal, and MLO fees.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- -Using generic federal mortgage facts when Pennsylvania MLA, Pennsylvania Code, DoBS, or NMLS state-specific rules are being tested
- -Confusing Pennsylvania individual MLO licensing or sponsorship with mortgage broker, lender, servicer, branch, or qualifying-individual requirements
- -Treating Pennsylvania bond, record, advertising, disclosure, ability-to-repay, servicing, loss mitigation, or enforcement requirements as optional
