1. Maria is the qualifying broker for a Georgia firm with 20 affiliated licensees. Under Georgia license law, Maria's core responsibility is to:State Laws and Rules. Open choices and explanation.

A.Guarantee the commissions owed to affiliated licensees
B.Supervise the affiliated licensees and their activities
C.Hold the firm's trust funds in an account in her own name
D.Personally handle every transaction the firm lists or sells

Answer B: Supervise the affiliated licensees and their activities

The qualifying broker's license qualifies the firm, and that broker is responsible for supervising its affiliated licensees and managing its trust accounts. Affiliated licensees handle their own transactions under that supervision, and trust money stays in firm trust accounts.

Why each choice works or fails

A. Misconception: the broker is a guarantor of splits. Compensation is set by written agreement and depends on the deal closing.
B. Correct. The qualifying broker answers for supervising the firm's affiliated licensees.
C. Misconception: trust money belongs to the broker. Trust funds go in a designated firm trust account, never a personal one.
D. Misconception: supervision means doing every deal. Affiliated licensees handle transactions under the broker's supervision.

Rule to remember: The qualifying broker qualifies the firm's license and is responsible for supervising its affiliated licensees.

2. A candidate passes the Georgia salesperson exam and applies for a license four months later. The application fee will be:State Laws and Rules. Open choices and explanation.

A.Twice the standard fee
B.The standard fee
C.The standard fee plus a late penalty
D.Refused until the exam is retaken

Answer A: Twice the standard fee

A candidate who applies within three months of the exam pays the standard fee. After three months the fee is two times the original application fee, and after twelve months the candidate must retake the exam.

Why each choice works or fails

A. Correct. After three months the application fee doubles.
B. Misconception: any timing gets the base fee. The standard fee applies only within three months of the exam.
C. Misconception: lateness adds a surcharge. The rule doubles the fee rather than adding a penalty.
D. Misconception: a late application voids the score. A retake is required only after twelve months.

Rule to remember: Apply within three months for the standard fee; after that it doubles, and after twelve months you retest.

3. Before a claimant may recover from the Georgia Real Estate Education, Research and Recovery Fund, the claimant must generally first:State Laws and Rules. Open choices and explanation.

A.Obtain an unsatisfied court judgment against the licensee
B.Exhaust the licensee's errors and omissions policy
C.Prove the licensee has been criminally convicted
D.File a complaint with the Commission and wait 30 days

Answer A: Obtain an unsatisfied court judgment against the licensee

The fund pays the unsatisfied portion of a court judgment obtained against a licensee for a violation in a real estate transaction, after the claimant has tried and failed to collect. A GREC complaint can lead to discipline, but discipline alone does not open the fund.

Why each choice works or fails

A. Correct. An unsatisfied court judgment against the licensee is the gateway to a fund claim.
B. Misconception: the fund acts as excess insurance. Recovery is keyed to an unsatisfied judgment, not to private coverage.
C. Misconception: the fund pays only for crimes. A civil judgment for a violation is enough; no conviction is needed.
D. Misconception: a GREC complaint opens the fund. A complaint can lead to discipline, not compensation.

Rule to remember: The Recovery Fund pays only on an unsatisfied court judgment against a licensee, after collection efforts fail.

4. How many hours of prelicense education does Georgia require for a salesperson license?State Laws and Rules. Open choices and explanation.

A.25 hours
B.36 hours
C.60 hours
D.75 hours

Answer D: 75 hours

Georgia requires a 75-hour salesperson prelicense course at a school approved by the Georgia Real Estate Commission. Keep the other numbers straight: 25 hours of post-license in year one, 36 hours of CE per renewal, and 60 hours for the broker course.

Why each choice works or fails

A. Misconception: 25 hours is the post-license course due in the first year, not prelicense.
B. Misconception: 36 hours is the continuing education required each renewal period.
C. Misconception: 60 hours is the broker prelicense course, not the salesperson course.
D. Correct. The Georgia salesperson prelicense course is 75 hours.

Rule to remember: Georgia salesperson prelicense education is 75 hours at a GREC-approved school.

5. A Georgia salesperson wants to leave the sponsoring broker and stop practicing for a while but keep the license. The salesperson may:State Laws and Rules. Open choices and explanation.

A.Place the license on inactive status
B.Keep the license active without a broker
C.Hold the license in escrow with GREC
D.Practice on their own as a salesperson

Answer A: Place the license on inactive status

An inactive salesperson keeps the license but may not perform brokerage activity for others. The license must be activated under a sponsoring broker before that work resumes.

Why each choice works or fails

A. Correct. Inactive status keeps the person licensed without a sponsoring broker.
B. Misconception: paying fees keeps a license active. An active salesperson license requires a sponsoring broker.
C. Misconception: borrowing another state's term. Georgia has no license escrow; inactive status serves that purpose.
D. Misconception: a salesperson can work independently. A salesperson may practice only through a broker.

Rule to remember: No sponsoring broker means an inactive license, not no license.

The Georgia-specific distinction

This entire assessment is Georgia-specific. Use the current GREC rule or statute, not a national licensing custom or another state's deadline.

Worked result example

When a scenario asks whether an activity needs a license, identify the activity and any stated exemption before asking who received compensation. A familiar job title does not decide the rule.

Common exam traps

Importing another state's license-law deadline.
Treating every complaint as automatic discipline.
Confusing an exemption with permission to misrepresent.
Assuming an unlicensed assistant may negotiate because a broker supervises them.

Ready to move on?

Score the set before opening notes.
Explain the winning rule without repeating the answer choice.
Classify every miss as knowledge, distinction, wording, math setup, or timing.
Repair the weakest official area, then answer a fresh set on another day.
Move on only when the result is stable and guesses are being marked as gaps.

Assessment integrity

The questions are original and mapped to the current PSI outline. This preview introduces the assessment; the complete version is in Pass Georgia. PSI says practice exams help candidates become familiar with general question types, but they do not replace education and a good practice score does not guarantee an examination outcome. This page reports evidence, not a pass probability.
