Yes. The game is free to play with no sign-up. Signing in adds AI explanations for any term.

There are 4 games built on 20 TN MLO terms. In Guess the Term, a clue describes one term and you have six tries to spell it, with green, yellow and gray letters showing how close you are. In Term Match, six terms appear as colored tiles; swap neighbors to line up three or more of the same term, and each match shows what the term means. In Term Pairs, twelve face-down cards hide six pairs of terms; flip two at a time to find each pair, and every pair you find shows what the term means. In Term Search, five terms hide in a grid of letters, reading across, down or diagonally; drag across a term to circle it, and each term you find shows what it means.

OpenExamPrep researched each term from the NMLS (SAFE MLO Test, delivered by Prometric); license by the TN Department of Financial Institutions content outline and primary sources, listed under Sources on this page. The game is independent study material, not an official exam resource.

Tennessee has no separate state MLO test. Applicants for a Tennessee mortgage loan originator license take the NMLS SAFE MLO Test, the National Test with Uniform State Content, which covers federal mortgage law, uniform state content, general mortgage knowledge, origination activities and ethics, and then apply through NMLS to the TN Department of Financial Institutions.

The SAFE MLO Test has 120 multiple-choice questions, 115 scored and 5 unscored pretest questions, with 190 minutes to answer them. You need a score of 75% or better to pass. The test costs $110 and is scheduled through NMLS at Prometric test centers or by online proctoring.
