What is on the Georgia real estate exam?

The national portion tests property ownership, land use, valuation, financing, contracts, agency, disclosures, property management, title transfer, real estate practice, and calculations. The Georgia supplement tests State Laws and Rules, Real Estate Practice in Georgia, and Finance and Closing.

National portion: 100 questions

The percentages below come directly from PSI. Because the national portion contains 100 items, a 19% weight corresponds to about 19 questions, but an individual form can vary. Treat the weight as a planning guide, not a promise about question order.

How to turn the outline into mastery

  1. Learn the complete rule. Definitions alone are not enough for scenario questions.
  2. Mark the Georgia distinction. Write down where a national principle changes in Georgia.
  3. Work an example. Explain the decision or calculation before looking at options.
  4. Study the traps. Contrast terms that can both look plausible.
  5. Answer original questions. Review why every distractor fails.
  6. Track mastery. Use accuracy, confidence, attempts, error type, and review date.
  7. Take the next prerequisite. Do not jump randomly between pages.

Where should you begin?

If you have diagnostic results, start with the highest-weight weak area. Without a diagnostic, start with the Georgia state portion, then Contracts, Agency, and Practice of Real Estate in the national guide. The full decision rule is in what to study first.
