When Varsity Tutors sets you up in NMLS test prep sessions, you get the undivided support and guidance of a professional who understands the requirements of the SAFE Mortgage Loan Originator Test and can help you focus on the areas where you need the most help. If it's regulatory topics that you want to make sure you have down, handling titles, figuring out the proper loan calculations for a particular client, or any other aspect of mortgage lending where you need a better understanding, your NMLS classes can focus there. When you don't know what you should be studying, your NMLS test prep instructor can figure out your areas of need and customize a study plan so that you're always going after any knowledge gaps you have to keep working towards improvement.
The SAFE Mortgage Loan Originator Test covers a lot of ground. Here are just some of the topics you can review during NMLS prep sessions:
NMLS Safe MLO Test Topics (Non-Comprehensive)
- Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act (RESPA)
- Equal Credit Opportunity Act (ECOA)
- Truth in Lending Act (TILA)
- TILA-RESPA Integrated Disclosure Rule
- Home Mortgage Disclosure Act (HMDA)
- Regulatory Authorities (CFPB, HUD)
- Qualified and Non-Qualified Mortgage Programs

Your NMLS class isn't only focused on helping you develop the knowledge you need for this exam. You also get to work on your test-taking skills during NMLS prep sessions. Since the test features 125 questions in just over 3 hours, you'll need time management skills to help you perform accurately under time constraints. NMLS prep tutors can also help you develop strategies for eliminating obvious wrong answer choices to make tough questions easier to answer or give you techniques to stay calm and focused for the whole 3 hours and 10 minutes.
Your NMLS courses also cater to your pace and learning style. You'll have the opportunity to get explanations in different ways, like working through the qualification process on a whiteboard or talking through the intricacies of regulatory requirements. With personalized NMLS test prep, you won't have to move on from a topic until you feel comfortable with your understanding of it.
At Varsity Tutors, we want it to be easy for you to get the NMLS preparation you deserve. That's why we do the work to find your NMLS test prep instructor, and we'll make every effort to find someone who can meet at a time that works for your schedule. For added convenience, you'll be able to get NMLS tutoring from anywhere with an Internet connection.
