The short answer

Tennessee real estate candidates can choose PSI test-center or remote-proctored delivery. Education providers submit standard eligibility, while retest and out-of-state requests follow the Commission’s CORE process. Obtain the correct authorisation before choosing a date.

Your examination booking situation

Your next step appears here. The complete delivery rules and sources are in the guide below.

Tennessee offers both delivery formats

The Tennessee PSI bulletin, updated July 1, 2025 and reviewed October 24, 2026, shows the test-center or remote-proctored selection. Use the Tennessee real estate programme after the appropriate eligibility step.

Tennessee’s commission is often abbreviated TREC, as is Texas’s. They are different regulators. A Texas center-only rule or additional-education requirement should not be imported into a Tennessee appointment because an acronym matches.

The eligibility route changes with your situation

The Tennessee Commission examination page says the education provider submits the standard eligibility application to PSI. Following approval, PSI emails payment and scheduling instructions.

For retest and out-of-state candidates, the same page directs a request through the CORE account and Commission review. A repeat candidate should not assume that buying another appointment is the entire administrative process. Resolve the authorisation first, then compare dates and formats.

Compare remote restrictions with travel requirements

The cited bulletin prohibits standard remote breaks and scratch paper. Run the current system check with the intended device and network, and review room, camera and ID instructions. Remote delivery can save travel only if the setup is compliant and reliable.

For a center appointment, verify the location and arrival details. In both formats, save a confirmation naming the correct examination. Tennessee has affiliate-broker and broker routes as well as other licence examinations; similar labels do not make them interchangeable.

Keep a partial pass under review

The Commission page says a passing section remains valid for two retakes of the failed section or one year, whichever occurs first. Do not replace that combined rule with an unlimited one-year retake assumption. Use the actual result history when checking the remaining opportunity.

Prepare the weak section with unfamiliar scenarios and explanations. A different delivery format does not correct a missed state duty or calculation setup. Use the Tennessee hub for study resources and the official diagnostic to prioritise review.

EstatePass provides independent practice, not Tennessee TREC-approved qualifying education, PSI or Commission authorisation. It cannot extend a partial pass or guarantee a result. Keep the licensing record and appointment decisions with the official programme.
