Question & Answer
Review the question and all answer choices
14
14 hours is the continuing education requirement used in Florida, not Georgia; this is a classic cross-state distractor designed to catch candidates who have studied multiple states' requirements simultaneously.
15
15 hours does not correspond to any Georgia real estate CE requirement and appears to be a plausible-sounding distractor that splits the difference between common CE figures without matching any actual regulatory standard.
36
45
45 hours is the number associated with Florida's post-license education requirement for sales associates, not Georgia's continuing education mandate; this distractor targets candidates who confuse post-license and CE requirements across state lines.
Why is this correct?
Under Georgia Real Estate Commission Rule 520-3-.06, salespersons must complete 36 hours of approved continuing education during each four-year license renewal period. This 36-hour total is broken down into specific required topics — including a mandatory 3-hour license law update — and elective hours chosen by the licensee. The four-year/36-hour framework is a statutory and regulatory fact that is directly tested on the Georgia real estate exam.
