Which of the following statements about the Illinois real estate licensing structure is NOT accurate under current Illinois law?

Correct Answer

D) An applicant must first obtain a salesperson license before becoming eligible for a broker license.

Option D is inaccurate. Illinois eliminated the salesperson license tier when the Illinois Real Estate License Act of 2000 was amended effective April 2011. Under current law, 'broker' is the entry-level license. There is no salesperson license in Illinois, and no such prerequisite exists.

Answer Options
A
The broker licensing exam is divided into 100 national items and 40 Illinois-specific state items.
B
The passing standard for the broker exam is 70% on the national section and 75% on the state section.
C
A broker applicant must complete 75 hours of approved prelicense education before sitting for the exam.
D
An applicant must first obtain a salesperson license before becoming eligible for a broker license.
