Exam Tip
Georgia licensing questions often test no state-specific PE, 8-hour CE with 1 GA hour by October 31, SAFE test score and expiration, sponsorship, incomplete applications, renewal timing, and late renewal fees.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- -Using generic federal mortgage facts when Georgia DBF, GRMA, Georgia Fair Lending Act, or Rule 80-11 rules are being tested
- -Confusing company broker/lender licensing with individual MLO sponsorship and employment limits
- -Treating Georgia CE, temporary authority disclosure, books and records, branch approval, or high-cost protections as optional
