DFI's
chosen vendor to deliver the
loan originator exam is
Promissor.
DFI has released the
658 test questions and their
answers (opens pdf.)
Loan
originators will be tested
on a random 100 questions out of the
658. Topic categories appear
below.
Weighted topics are
explained here (opens pdf.)
There are a
couple of different ways to
get ready:
1) You could read all the
state and federal laws.
(Price:
free!)
99.99% of
the loan originators we talk to don't
want to do this.
2) You could
try to memorize all 658 DFI
Q&As.
99.99% of the loan
originators we talk to will
not be able to do this, nor
do we believe this is a very
effective way to prepare for
your exam.
3)
A better
way is to review the laws in
an exam prep course so you
can learn and understand the
CONTENT of your exam.
Bonus: In our
Loan Originator Exam Prep
course you also earn
continuing ed credits for
your attendance!
4)
We now offer computerized
practice exams
at 3 for $85 so you can
practice taking your exam
over and over again to test
your competency levels in
different subjects. This
will enable you
to study in a more
efficient way.
