Students will take their exam online remotely with a proctor. Review our Course Final Exam Test Taking Options article for further details on these options.

Once the examination is taken, the student passes, and no issues are found, Real Estate Institute will reconcile the examination within one business day. Once reconciled, we will send an e-mail to the student of their next steps and e-mail a copy of their Pre-License transcript.

If the student did not pass their exam on their first attempt, they have a second attempt included with their course tuition, and it is required to pass the course before the course expiration. A third and final attempt can be purchased for a $35 fee if needed. If the student does not pass after the last attempt or before their final course expiration, they fail the course and will need to re-enroll with a discount.
