Getting Your
License After
school is over, you will have to
take a state pre-licensing exam.
Private companies, contracted out by the state, administer the
exams. One testing service normally
handles the entire state. Your real
estate school can tell you which service is used in your state, and what
needs to be done to prepare for that particular exam. Exams may be given once or twice a month
or every business day. They may be
written or computerized. It will
normally be broken into two portions, one for state law and one for national
questions. Each state has its own
guidelines for minimum passing scores and how frequently you can take the
exam. You cannot get your license
until you pass both portions of the exam. You also cannot get your license until you join a company.
In other words, don’t expect to take the exam and then go off
on your own. Each state has a requirement for a certain amount of experience
before you will be allowed to do that.
They don’t want someone who doesn’t know what they are doing
in charge of a company. continued
