About this app

Pass the SAFE MLO National Test by knowing what NMLS actually tests — the TRID timelines and tolerance buckets, RESPA Section 8 kickbacks, the right of rescission, ECOA's prohibited bases, HOEPA and HPML triggers, QM rules, ARM caps and fully indexed rates, DTI and LTV math, the SAFE Act's education and licensing ladder, and the fraud schemes and fair-lending traps in the Ethics section — instead of rereading a full course textbook the night before.

NMLS SAFE MLO Study Guide is a focused, fully offline companion for the SAFE Mortgage Loan Originator National Test with Uniform State Content, organized exactly like the official five-area test outline, weighted the way the outline weights it.

SIX WAYS TO STUDY
• Flashcards — tap to reveal, tagged by content area
• Multiple-choice questions set in real scenarios — a kickback dressed up as sponsorship, an APR drifting past tolerance before closing, a straw buyer with gift funds — each with a worked explanation
• True/false drills built from the misconceptions that cost marks
• Term-matching game — pair key terms in rounds of five
• Searchable glossary of the lending, regulatory, and underwriting vocabulary the exam assumes you know
• Formulas & Thresholds reference — LTV, DTI, income conversions, per-diem interest, points, ARM caps, PMI cancellation, HOEPA and HPML triggers, the LE and CD clocks, and the SAFE Act education splits — each with its variables and its trap

ALL FIVE CONTENT AREAS
• Federal Mortgage-Related Laws (24%) — RESPA, ECOA, TILA, TRID, HMDA, FCRA, GLBA, BSA/AML, the MAP Rule, and the CFPB
• Uniform State Content (11%) — the SAFE Act, NMLS licensing, education, renewal, temporary authority, and what regulators can do
• General Mortgage Knowledge (20%) — conventional, FHA, VA, USDA and jumbo programs, ARMs, balloons, HELOCs, reverse mortgages, QM and non-QM
• Mortgage Loan Origination Activities (27%) — application to closing: income calculation, assets and gifts, ratios, appraisal, title, underwriting conditions, per-diem interest, and funding
• Ethics (18%) — fraud for housing and for profit, straw buyers, silent seconds, steering, redlining, UDAAP, and fair lending

BUILT LIKE THE EXAM
The national test is 120 questions — 115 scored — in 190 minutes, with 75% to pass. This app mirrors the official outline's five content areas at the official weights, so your effort lands where the questions do.
