There are few examination details needed to be answered though. These are thing you must consider before, during and after the exam to avoid complication later on. Just check them out;

Q: Where are Real Estate Agent’s examinations administered?

- Basically, scheduling of real estate examination is based on the volume of applications received by the Department of Real Estate (DRE).

Always keep in mind though that examination location within an area may vary. Requests for specific locations within the chosen area cannot be granted. However, you may use the eLicensing online system to select a specific exam date and site.

Q: Where can I see the schedule of state examinations?

- The Department of Real Estate (DRE) post every detail of the state examination schedule so better check their website every now and then to get updates.

Q: How do I check my scheduled state exam date, time, and location?

- The best answer to that is by checking out the eLicensing Examination Services. Go to the DRE website and look for the date, time and location of your examination.

Q: Am I allowed to use a calculator during the state exam?

- Typically, examiners would allow you to bring a battery-operated, electronic, pocket-size calculator but without the capability to save the formula on it.

 You may use your mobile phones calculator if you want to.

Q: What are prohibited during the state exam?

If calculator is allowed during exam, the following things I will mention are not permitted in the examination room: Backpacks, briefcases, suitcases, food, drink, study materials, portable computers, PDAs (personal digital assistants), or programmable calculators that can save formulas. You may bring your mobile phone inside the examination room but you cannot use it for calling or texting. You can use your mobile phone’s calculator feature though.

Q: Are DRE employees liable for the loss of my belongings during exam?

- Of course not! According to the guidelines set by The Department of Real Estate, ‘The DRE and its employees will not be liable or responsible for the loss or damage of any personal belongings that are brought to a real estate examination.’ If in case you brought personal belongings to the examination place, such items may not be taken by the examinee to the desk where the examination will be completed. They will be placed in a storage area apart from the owner. The storage area will not be operated or monitored by the Department.

Q: What happens once I pass the Salesperson examination?

- According to the DRE, ‘After you pass the examination, you will be sent a Salesperson License Application (RE 202). This form must be completed and returned along with the appropriate fee within one year after passing the examination. A completed Live Scan Service Request (RE 237) must be submitted with the application unless you held a real estate license which expired less than two years ago.’ You must check the DRE website for further requirements needed to be accomplished though! As part of the application form, the sales person, as they call it, will need to provide evidence of legal presence in the United States. If you have completed the two additional required real estate courses, you may submit the transcripts with your license application as soon as possible.
