Virginia’s bulletin offers remote and center appointments
The PSI Virginia real estate bulletin, revised February 18, 2026, contains a format-selection step for test-center or remote-proctored delivery. Use the Virginia real estate portal, not a generic PSI practice checkout. These sources were reviewed October 24, 2026.
Complete the applicable eligibility process before selecting a date. Virginia has salesperson, broker and reciprocity routes, and the examination you need follows that route. An available appointment for a similarly named examination is not evidence that it satisfies your requirement.
Check the operating system before the room
DPOR’s PSI notice states that live remote proctoring no longer accepts Windows 10 or macOS Ventura 13.x from October 14, 2025. This is a PSI technical notice displayed by DPOR, not a claim that contractor and real estate licensing rules are identical.
A working webcam and fast connection are only part of compatibility. Check the current PSI requirements and run its system check on the exact device and network you intend to use. An older successful sitting on the same laptop does not establish compatibility after an operating-system policy change.
If you use a managed work computer, confirm installation and security permissions. Avoid making an expensive booking depend on an administrator granting access at the last minute. A physical center is a practical alternative when you cannot provide a compatible, controlled setup.
Choose the environment you can reliably maintain
Remote delivery requires compliance with camera, room and examination-security instructions. Prepare the workspace before check-in and remove prohibited materials. Follow the current bulletin for breaks and permitted items; ordinary home-study habits are not automatically allowed during proctoring.
At a center, plan the journey and read the accepted ID list. Check your account’s legal name before the appointment. A confirmation email should identify the correct exam, time and delivery format. Save it so that an error can be resolved within the applicable change rules.
Delivery does not change the two-portion task
The Virginia difficulty guide explains national and state requirements. Use separate error logs for general principles and Virginia-specific actions. Changing from remote to a center will not compensate for a weak state-law topic or reset an official result’s validity.
For preparation, practise unfamiliar scenarios without notes and explain why the best alternative does not fit. If you have a prior failure, review the official result and the recovery guide before another reservation. A seat can be available even when you are not yet ready.
EstatePass provides independent practice, not DPOR-approved qualifying education, examination eligibility or PSI appointments. Use the Virginia hub for study navigation and the official programme for delivery and accommodation decisions.
