Test-day anxiety is enough \u2014 don&#8217;t add 90 minutes of subway commuting to your morning. If you live in Brooklyn, schedule a Brooklyn center even if Manhattan opens earlier.<\/p>\n<h3>Off-peak times = easier scheduling<\/h3>\n<p>Tuesday-Thursday mornings are typically the easiest to book at popular NYC centers. Mondays and Fridays have higher demand from candidates who want long weekends afterward.<\/p>\n<h3>Reschedule fees<\/h3>\n<p>You can reschedule via eAccessNY. If you reschedule more than 24-48 hours before your appointment, there&#8217;s usually no penalty. Last-minute cancellations may forfeit your exam fee \u2014 check current PSI\/NY DOS policies.<\/p>\n<h2>If you don&#8217;t pass on your first attempt<\/h2>\n<p>NY does not impose a waiting period between attempts. Reschedule through eAccessNY, pay the $15 exam fee again, and pick a new appointment. Most second-attempt candidates pass \u2014 they know what tripped them up the first time and can target their study.<\/p>\n<p>For the prep itself, see our <a href=\"\/how-to-pass-the-ny-real-estate-exam-complete-guide\/\" style=\"color:#8C6230\">complete guide to passing<\/a> and our <a href=\"\/ny-real-estate-exam-study-plan\/\" style=\"color:#8C6230\">6-week study plan<\/a>.<\/p>\n<div class=\"np-cta\">\n<h3>Once you have your exam date locked in<\/h3>\n<p>Practice at exam-length on our free simulator before walking into PSI.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/ny-real-estate-exam-simulator\/\" class=\"np-btn\">Take the free simulator \u2192<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Download the free exam day checklist What to bring, what to expect, and how to pace 75 questions in 90 minutes.
