,Q1 DEMONSTRATE MASTERY OF CORE CONCEPTS
A mortgage originator is evaluating a borrower whose monthly gross income is
$6,500. The borrower's proposed housing payment (PITI) is $1,950, and total
monthly debt obligations including the proposed mortgage are $2,925. Under the
Qualified Mortgage general ability-to-repay standards, which of the following is the
most accurate assessment of the borrower's compliance with the 43%
debt-to-income threshold?
A. Compliant, because the housing expense ratio of 30% is below the 31% threshold.
B. Non-compliant, because the total DTI of 45% exceeds the 43% threshold. CORRECT
C. Compliant, because the total DTI is 43% exactly.
D. Non-compliant, because the housing expense ratio of 35% exceeds the 28% threshold.
RATIONALE: Total monthly debt of $2,925 divided by gross monthly income of $6,500 equals
45%, which exceeds the 43% DTI limit for a general Qualified Mortgage. The housing expense
ratio ($1,950/$6,500 = 30%) is not the governing metric under the QM general definition. Options
A and C miscalculate or misapply the threshold, and D invents a 28% housing ratio standard that
does not apply to QM.

, Q2 DEMONSTRATE MASTERY OF CORE CONCEPTS
A lender discloses a Loan Estimate on Monday, and the borrower's spouse, who is
not on the loan but will hold title, receives a separate copy on Wednesday. Under
TILA-RESPA Integrated Disclosure rules, what is the earliest permissible date for
consummation if the borrower mails back the intent to proceed on the same
Monday?
A. The following Monday, because the seven-business-day waiting period begins at delivery to
the spouse.
B. The following Wednesday, because the three-business-day waiting period runs from the
spouse's receipt.
C. The following Tuesday, because the seven-business-day waiting period begins from the
borrower's receipt of the Loan Estimate. CORRECT
D. Immediately, because the borrower's intent to proceed waives the waiting period.
RATIONALE: The seven-business-day waiting period begins when the Loan Estimate is delivered
or placed in the mail to the borrower, not the non-borrowing spouse. Counting seven business
days from Monday yields the following Tuesday as the earliest consummation date. Options A
and B incorrectly anchor the period to the spouse's receipt, and D is false because intent to
proceed does not waive the seven-day waiting period.
Q3 DEMONSTRATE MASTERY OF CORE CONCEPTS
An appraiser values a property at $420,000 using the sales comparison approach.
The borrower's purchase contract price is $450,000, and the lender's maximum
LTV is 80%. What is the maximum loan amount the lender may extend based on
the lesser of appraised value or purchase price?
A. $336,000 CORRECT
B. $360,000
C. $420,000
D. $450,000
RATIONALE: Lenders base LTV on the lesser of the appraised value ($420,000) or the purchase
price ($450,000), which is $420,000. Applying the 80% LTV cap yields a maximum loan of
$336,000. Options B and C incorrectly use the purchase price or the full appraised value without
the LTV cap, and D ignores both constraints.
