Roughly 71% of loan officers pass the national test to become qualified mortgage professionals the first time they take the exam, according to new figures released by the Nationwide Mortgage Licensing System. The state (first-time) pass rate is even better: 78%, according to NMLS. The results reflect tests administered between July 30 of last year and April 30, 2009.

Loan officers are in general a pretty sharp group of people. They’re highly motivated, driven to succeed, and almost always multitalented. And so, it’s no surprise that so many are achieving their licensing on the first go-round.
