Your next step appears here. The complete delivery rules and sources are in the guide below.
Start with Commission approval
The February 2026 handbook requires the West Virginia Real Estate Commission’s examination approval. Pearson sends the email used to access the authorised examination. The handbook describes both a physical center and an online-proctored session.
The West Virginia OnVUE page supplies the current remote requirements. Use it alongside the programme page, not as a replacement for Commission eligibility.
Count time and attempts separately
The handbook states that examination authorisation lasts 90 days or two attempts after approval, whichever comes first. An appointment can therefore be unavailable because attempts have been used even when the calendar has not reached the nominal expiry date.
It also describes a 90-day period for completing the other portion after a partial pass and a 90-day application period after passing. Those rules refer to different milestones. Preserve the approval date, attempt record and portion-result dates rather than replacing them with one guessed deadline. If the record needs renewed authorisation, resolve it through the official programme before reserving.
Make remote delivery a technical decision
Run the current OnVUE system test with the intended device and network. Check the private-room, identification and monitoring conditions. A restricted work computer or a shared space can make a center more reliable even when remote testing is available.
Changing format does not reset the authorisation or make an old result valid again. For a center appointment, confirm travel and admission instructions. For remote delivery, leave time for the required check-in and keep the approved environment ready.
Use the outline to organise preparation
Separate national concepts from West Virginia rules. When a scenario is wrong, identify the actor, the relevant duty and the fact that changes the required response. Test a new example after review before treating the topic as repaired.
Maryland and Delaware have different center-based real estate arrangements. Their delivery rules do not apply to West Virginia. EstatePass supports independent preparation through the West Virginia hub and is not Commission-approved qualifying education. It cannot extend an authorisation, issue an official result or complete the licence application. Keep those official tasks visible alongside the study plan.
