What is the passing score for the Georgia real estate license exam?

The salesperson exam comprises 152 questions; 100 of those questions belong to the national portion, and 52 questions belong to the state-specific portion. Multiple-choice sections passing score is determined by Angoff method, whereby subject matter experts evaluate the relative difficulty of each question linked to what a ‘minimally competent practitioner’ (MCP) should know or demonstrate. These ratings are then combined to establish the minimum passing score, which represents a minimally competent practitioner’s expected performance on the examination.

In the broker exam, you will encounter 11 simulation problems plus four simulation problems focused on state-specific topics. Content experts evaluate each section of the simulations to establish a minimum passing level (MPL). That MPL is based on the scoring weights assigned to each option and also represents the performance expected of a ‘minimally competent practitioner.’

Upon completing your examination, you will receive an official results report.

What is the time limit for the Georgia real estate exam?

The time limit for the salesperson exam is four hours.
