Top 5 Tips to Pass the SAFE MLO Test with 90% Score 📝

I passed the SAFE MLO Test (also called the SAFE MLO Exam or NMLS Exam) with a 90% score on my first try. In this video, I share my experience and the top 5 tips that I used. These tips include both free and paid online resources that I wish I knew about as I was first preparing to take the MLO Test.

TIP #1: Take the 8 MLO Mock Exams from OnCourse Learning (“PLATINUM: Mortgage Exam Prep Suite with Prep xL”)

TIP #2: Attend the 8-Hour National Exam Prep Webinar from OnCourse Learning

TIP #3: Take the “20-Hour SAFE MLO Pre-Licensing Course” + “2-Hour State Course” (if your state requires it) from OnCourse Learning

Note, I did not take the 20-hour course from OnCourse Learning (link above), but I wish I did. The 20-hour course I took was from a different provider and I’m not recommending that one because it didn’t knock my socks off. If you already completed the 20-hour course from another provider, it would be wise for you to also do Tips #1 and #2 above, which is the approach I took.

Also, I provided a link below to the official NMLS approved course provider list. Yes, OnCourse Learning is already on the approved list.

Some of the links above are affiliate links. If you purchase a product through one of them, I may receive a commission (at no additional cost to you). I only ever endorse products that I have used and benefited from personally. Again, this is the information I wish I had before I took the MLO test.

MLO = Mortgage Loan Originator / Mortgage Loan Officer

NMLS = Nationwide Mortgage Licensing System

SAFE = Secure and Fair Enforcement for Mortgage Licensing (SAFE) Act

The words “test" and “exam” are used interchangeably and mean the same thing. People often refer to the test as the "MLO Test" or the "NMLS Test" or the "SAFE MLO Test"
