Georgia Real Estate Exam Glossary

25 terms the Georgia exam actually tests, each with the specific way the exam uses it against you. The 14 terms that work differently in Georgia are marked, because those are the ones national study material gets wrong.

How to use a glossary for this exam

Read the trap, not the definition. The Georgia exam rarely asks what a term means. It builds a scenario where the term applies and offers you an answer that would be right in another state. 34% of the paper is Georgia law, and that is where those scenarios live.

Start with the 14 marked terms. If you can explain why Georgia uses a security deed rather than a mortgage, and which tax attaches to the loan rather than the price, you have covered a meaningful share of the state supplement already.

Then drill them in context at practice by topic or with the flashcards.

Using the glossary

Which glossary terms are Georgia-specific?

14 of the 25 here differ in Georgia from the national default, including security deed, title theory, BRRETA and the intangible recording tax. Those are marked, because a national study guide will have taught several of them wrongly.

Is memorising definitions enough?

No. The exam asks you to apply terms inside scenarios, which is why every entry here carries the trap alongside the definition. The trap is the part worth remembering.
