How does PSI report the result?
| Question | Confirmed answer | Source status |
|---|---|---|
| When is the result shown? | On screen at the end and by email. | Explicit in PSI bulletin. |
| Are national and Georgia numbers shown? | The sample report shows both subtotals beneath the total. | Visible in PSI sample COA. |
| What does a failing report add? | Diagnostic strengths and weaknesses by examination type. | Explicit in PSI bulletin. |
| What is the passing percentage? | Not stated in the public bulletin. | GREC describes the method, not a public number. |
| Must both subtotals pass separately? | Not explained in the public bulletin. | Open official-source question. |
Why does Pass Georgia not print 75%?
Because repetition is not a primary source. Rule 520-1-.04(3)(a) says the passing score is determined by psychometrically sound criterion-related methods tied to minimal competence, and that the method and minimum are published before administration. The currently public bulletin does not show the number. A study target can be higher than the minimum, but it must not be labeled the official cut score.
The Rule
Use practice scores to measure stability and identify weak content, not to claim a guaranteed exam result. No prep provider controls PSI's form, scoring method, or final licensing decision.
How do experimental items work?
PSI may administer one to ten unscored experimental questions, generally around 10% of the examination question count. They help develop future tests. They do not count toward the score, but they do use exam time. Treat every question as scored because the bulletin does not give a way to identify experimental items.
How should a passing candidate read the report?
Save the emailed report and follow the licensing instructions. Do not infer that a weak subtotal needs remedial action for licensure unless PSI says so. Wait 24 hours before returning to an authorized PSI licensing location, and prepare the documents listed in the after-passing guide.
How should a failing candidate use the diagnostic?
- Identify whether the weakness is national, Georgia, or broad across both.
- Map each named weakness to the official content outline.
- Repair the two or three highest-impact gaps first.
- Review explanations for every miss and label the error: knowledge, distinction, wording, calculation, or timing.
- Retest only after mixed results are stable, not merely because a date is available.
Current unresolved scoring questions
You need 75% on the Georgia real estate exam
GREC sets no fixed percentage. Rule 520-1-.04(3)(a) says candidates must make a passing score determined by psychometrically sound criterion-related methods, and that the minimum is published before each administration. Sites quoting a flat 75%, or 75 of 100 and 39 of 52, are not quoting a source.
You must pass the national and Georgia portions separately
The bulletin's sample score report shows one total score with a pass or fail, and national and Georgia subtotals beneath it. Nothing in the bulletin describes independent pass marks per portion. We are asking GREC to confirm how a split result is treated.
You get 4 hours for the exam
The 7/1/2026 bulletin states no examination time limit. We have asked PSI for the current figure and will publish it when we have it in writing.
