The Georgia salesperson exam has 152 scored questions with 240 minutes to complete (about 1.6 minutes per question). The broker exam has its own format; see the GREC candidate handbook. The pass point is 75.
Georgia real estate license costs include: exam fee ($175), pre-license courses ($200-$500), license application fee ($100-$300), and background check ($50-$100). Total budget: approximately $400-$1,000.
Georgia real estate licenses must be renewed every 4 years. You'll need to complete 36 hours of continuing education (CE) before renewal. Check with Georgia Real Estate Commission for specific CE requirements.
The Georgia salesperson exam is 240 minutes (4 hours) for 152 questions. The broker exam has its own time limit; see the GREC candidate handbook. Plan to arrive 30 minutes early for check-in.
Most Georgia candidates complete the licensing process in 2-4 months. This includes completing required pre-license education, passing the state exam administered under GREC, and submitting your license application.
Georgia real estate exams are typically administered at approved testing centers by PSI or Pearson VUE. Some states allow remote proctored exams. Check with GREC for current online testing options and requirements.
The Georgia real estate exam covers both national and state-specific topics. National topics include property ownership, contracts, financing, agency law, valuation, transfer of title, and real estate math. The GA-specific section covers Georgia license law, regulations from GREC, and state-specific disclosure requirements.
The most effective study strategy for the Georgia exam includes: (1) completing your pre-license education with active note-taking, (2) practicing with Georgia-specific practice exams, (3) focusing on your weak topics identified through practice tests, (4) taking timed mock exams to build test stamina, and (5) reviewing GA-specific laws and regulations from GREC.
You must pay the $175 exam fee for each attempt and typically wait at least 24-48 hours before rescheduling. Attempt limits and whether a failed portion can be retaken on its own are set by GREC. Your pre-license education completion is usually valid for 1-2 years, so you should pass within that window.
The pass point for the Georgia salesperson exam is 75. Where the exam has separate national and state portions, each portion is passed on its own; where the state reports a scaled score, 75 is the scaled pass point rather than a percentage of questions. The state average first-time pass rate is 50%, so thorough preparation is essential.
Yes, the Georgia real estate exam is entirely multiple choice with four answer options per question. The salesperson exam has 152 questions; the broker exam length is published by GREC. There are no essay, fill-in-the-blank, or practical components.
