Everything the Vermont exam actually tests: the national outline plus Vermont license law, with a dedicated state-law bank in the free Freehold app.
The Vermont exam at a glance
National portion is PSI/AMP-administered, 100 questions/150min, 75% — confirmed current 2026-07-27. The state portion is NO LONGER a fixed-question, timed, PSI-proctored exam: per sos.vermont.gov's live Salesperson & Broker FAQ, 'the state exam is now a part of the application process. You will receive a link within your online application' — independently re-confirmed 2026-07-27 by fetching the FAQ page directly (exact quote captured), the Statutes/Rules/Resources hub page (no exam-format text anywhere on it), and the governing statute itself (26 V.S.A. § 2292, 'has passed an examination as required by the Commission' — format is left entirely to Commission practice, not fixed in statute or a published administrative rule). No question count or timing for the state portion is published anywhere fetchable as of this date. The state{36q,60min,75%} sub-split below is a legacy placeholder from when it was still a standalone PSI exam — kept because no current, sourced replacement exists, not because it's verified; do not treat it as sourced. Vermont bans dual agency outright and has no state recovery fund. This is a terminal finding, not a todo — re-check only if Vermont's own site starts describing a fixed format.
