For a useful score, finish the test above before opening these answers. These are original practice questions based on published topics and sources.

1. Two brokerages both claim a commission on the same sale. In the procuring cause dispute, the central question is usually:Agency. Open choices and explanation.

A.Which brokerage first showed the property to the buyer
B.Which brokerage began an unbroken chain leading to the sale
C.Which brokerage wrote the offer that the seller accepted
D.Which brokerage spent the most marketing the property

Answer B: Which brokerage began an unbroken chain leading to the sale

Procuring cause asks whose efforts set in motion an unbroken series of events that ended in the sale. A first showing or the final offer can be part of that story, but neither decides it alone if the chain was broken along the way.

Why each choice works or fails

A. Candidates equate first contact with procuring cause. A first showing counts only if the chain it started stayed unbroken.
B. Correct. The test is who started an uninterrupted chain of events that produced the sale.
C. Writing the accepted offer feels decisive, but it does not outweigh another broker's earlier unbroken chain.
D. Marketing effort and spending are not the legal test, however much work they represent.

Rule to remember: Procuring cause goes to the broker who started an unbroken chain of events that produced the sale.

2. A buyer's agent would earn a substantially larger fee if the buyer client purchases one particular listing. The agent should:Agency. Open choices and explanation.

A.Stop showing that listing so no conflict can arise
B.Say nothing, since the listing side pays the fee
C.Mention the difference only if the client asks
D.Disclose the pay difference so the client can weigh it

Answer D: Disclose the pay difference so the client can weigh it

Pay that varies by property gives the agent a personal incentive that may not match the client's interest. Disclosing it lets the client judge the agent's advice with full information, and the client still gets to see every suitable home.

Why each choice works or fails

A. Avoidance feels safe, but withholding a suitable home harms the client. The cure for a conflict is disclosure, not hiding options.
B. Who pays the fee does not matter. The incentive still affects the agent's advice to the client.
C. Disclosure on request is not enough. The client cannot ask about a conflict the client does not know exists.
D. Correct. Disclose the differing compensation so the client can weigh the agent's advice.

Rule to remember: If an agent's pay varies by property, disclose it up front so the client can weigh the advice.

3. A durable power of attorney differs from an ordinary power of attorney because it:Agency. Open choices and explanation.

A.Lasts for the lifetime of the attorney-in-fact
B.Remains effective if the principal is incapacitated
C.Transfers ownership of the property to the agent
D.Cannot be revoked once the principal signs it

Answer B: Remains effective if the principal is incapacitated

Under the traditional rule, a nondurable power of attorney ends when the principal becomes incapacitated, which is exactly when it may be needed most. A durable power of attorney stays in force through incapacity, which is why it is used in estate planning. Georgia now treats a power of attorney as durable unless the document says otherwise.

Why each choice works or fails

A. Durable does not mean permanent. The authority is tied to the principal, and it ends at the principal's death.
B. Correct. Durability means the power survives the principal's incapacity.
C. A power of attorney grants authority to act for the principal. It never transfers ownership to the attorney-in-fact.
D. A competent principal can generally revoke a power of attorney. Durable describes surviving incapacity, not being irrevocable.

Rule to remember: Durable means it survives the principal's incapacity. In Georgia, a power of attorney is durable unless it says otherwise.

4. Which of the following is NOT a characteristic of a transaction broker relationship?Agency. Open choices and explanation.

A.Neither party is a client of the broker
B.The broker negotiates better terms for one party
C.The broker helps the parties with the paperwork
D.The broker gives neither party false information

Answer B: The broker negotiates better terms for one party

A transaction broker has no brokerage engagement with either party, so there is no client to advocate for. The broker handles ministerial tasks such as paperwork and scheduling and must still deal honestly, which means not knowingly giving false information.

Why each choice works or fails

A. This is a characteristic. Candidates who confuse transaction brokerage with dual agency, where both parties are clients, pick this.
B. Correct. Negotiating for one party is advocacy, and advocacy belongs to a client relationship the transaction broker does not have.
C. This is a characteristic. Ministerial help with the mechanics of the deal is exactly the transaction broker's role.
D. This is a characteristic. Honest dealing is owed to everyone, client or not, so it is not what separates the roles.

Rule to remember: A transaction broker helps with the mechanics but negotiates for no one: no client, no advocacy.

5. A seller tells the listing agent about recurring basement flooding that a buyer would not see on inspection, then instructs the agent not to mention it. The agent should:Agency. Open choices and explanation.

A.Explain that the known flooding must be disclosed
B.Disclose the flooding only if a buyer asks about it
C.Disclose the flooding only after an offer is accepted
D.Stay silent, since the seller is the paying client

Answer A: Explain that the known flooding must be disclosed

A licensee follows a client's lawful instructions only. Recurring flooding the agent actually knows about, which a buyer could not find by a reasonably diligent inspection, is an adverse material fact that must be disclosed. If the seller insists on concealment, the agent should withdraw rather than take part.

Why each choice works or fails

A. Correct. Explain the disclosure duty, and withdraw if the seller still insists on concealment.
B. Candidates think silence is safe until a direct question. The duty to disclose a known latent defect does not wait for the buyer to ask.
C. Disclosing after acceptance withholds the fact when it matters most, before the buyer commits.
D. Representing the seller does not make an unlawful instruction lawful. No client can authorize concealing a known defect.

Rule to remember: A seller's agent may not hide a known latent defect. An instruction to conceal it is not a lawful instruction.

What does this assessment cover?

PSI says a failing score report includes diagnostic strengths and weaknesses by examination type. Translate that evidence into the closest published area, then gather a larger fresh sample before the next attempt.

The Georgia-specific distinction

Keep the national and Georgia subtotals separate. If Georgia is weak, split the work again into Laws and Rules, Georgia Practice, and Finance and Closing rather than reading one general state summary.

Worked result example

If the report points to Georgia and review notes show national-instinct errors, build a Georgia-only set, read the Georgia distinction after each item, and follow with a fresh 52-question simulation.

Common exam traps

Retaking a full practice exam before repairing anything.
Studying only the lowest raw score without considering sample size.
Memorizing questions from the failed attempt.
Booking again because the average improved while one group stayed weak.

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.

Recommended next lesson

Use the complete retake recovery plan. Use the result above to choose the first lesson or drill rather than following a generic order.

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.

About this practice set

Facts checked against the current PSI Candidate Information Bulletin and GREC sources.

Are these actual PSI exam questions?

No. Every item is original, written from the current published outline and primary sources. No question is copied, recalled, reconstructed, or represented as a live PSI item.

Does this score predict whether I will pass?

No. One practice result is evidence about this question sample. Use the area breakdown, review guesses as well as misses, and confirm improvement with fresh questions on another day.

What should I do after the result?

Open the explanation for every miss and guess, restate the rule, use the linked repair lesson, then continue with the next lesson: Use the complete retake recovery plan.

Is the assessment free?

Yes. This 5-question preview has no email gate, account requirement, or card. The complete assessment, saved mastery, spaced review, and adaptive recommendations are in Pass Georgia.
