1. After hearing an applicant's accent, a landlord tells him he "would be more comfortable with his own kind somewhere else" and refuses to rent to him. This MOST likely constitutes discrimination based on:Practice of Real Estate. Open choices and explanation.
  1. A.National origin
  2. B.Race
  3. C.Disability
  4. D.Religion

Answer A: National origin

An accent points to where a person or the person's ancestors come from, so refusing to rent because of it is national origin discrimination. National origin is a protected class under the Fair Housing Act, and the landlord's comment shows the accent drove the refusal.

Why each choice works or fails

  • A. Correct. A refusal triggered by an accent targets national origin.
  • B. The phrase "own kind" tempts candidates toward race, but the trigger here was the accent, which ties to national origin.
  • C. An accent is not an impairment, so disability is not the basis.
  • D. Nothing in the scenario involves religious belief or practice.

Rule to remember: Refusing someone because of an accent or where they come from is national origin discrimination.

2. Because of a buyer's race, an agent shows the buyer homes in only certain neighborhoods and skips others that fit the buyer's criteria. This is:Practice of Real Estate. Open choices and explanation.
  1. A.Blockbusting
  2. B.Steering
  3. C.Redlining
  4. D.Reverse redlining

Answer B: Steering

Steering is channeling buyers or renters toward or away from areas because of a protected class. Blockbusting and redlining also involve race and neighborhoods, but blockbusting induces owners to sell and redlining denies credit or insurance by area.

Why each choice works or fails

  • A. Blockbusting pressures owners to sell by claiming a protected class is moving in. Nobody is being urged to sell here.
  • B. Correct. Directing a buyer toward or away from areas because of race is steering.
  • C. Redlining is a lender or insurer refusing service by area. The agent is choosing which homes to show, not denying credit.
  • D. Reverse redlining targets certain areas with unfair loan terms. It is a lending practice, not a showing practice.

Rule to remember: Steering directs people, blockbusting scares them into selling, redlining refuses them credit.

3. Two competing brokerages agree privately to charge the same commission rate. This is:Practice of Real Estate. Open choices and explanation.
  1. A.Lawful if both firms disclose it to clients
  2. B.Illegal price fixing under antitrust law
  3. C.Lawful if clients can still negotiate the rate
  4. D.Lawful if both firms belong to the same MLS

Answer B: Illegal price fixing under antitrust law

Competitors agreeing on price is price fixing, which is illegal per se under the Sherman Act. Disclosure does not cure it, and neither does leaving room to negotiate, because the agreement itself is the violation.

Why each choice works or fails

  • A. Disclosure does not cure an agreement among competitors on price.
  • B. Correct. Competing brokerages agreeing on commission rates is price fixing.
  • C. The violation is the agreement itself, whether or not clients can bargain afterward.
  • D. Shared MLS membership does not permit competitors to set rates together.

Rule to remember: Competitors may never agree on price. Disclosure or room to negotiate does not fix it.

4. An owner who qualifies for a Fair Housing Act exemption refuses to rent to an applicant because of race. This is:Practice of Real Estate. Open choices and explanation.
  1. A.Lawful, because the owner is exempt from the Act
  2. B.Unlawful, because the 1866 Act has no exemptions
  3. C.Unlawful only if a broker handled the rental
  4. D.Lawful as long as no discriminatory ad was used

Answer B: Unlawful, because the 1866 Act has no exemptions

The Civil Rights Act of 1866 bars racial discrimination in all property transactions and has no exemptions. An owner who fits a Fair Housing Act exemption is still liable for race discrimination under the 1866 Act.

Why each choice works or fails

  • A. The Fair Housing Act exemption does not reach the 1866 Act, which covers race with no exemptions.
  • B. Correct. The 1866 Act reaches every property transaction, with no exemptions for race.
  • C. Using a broker can cost an owner a Fair Housing Act exemption, but race is barred with or without a broker.
  • D. Discriminatory ads are barred even for exempt owners, but avoiding ads does not make race discrimination lawful.

Rule to remember: The Civil Rights Act of 1866 bans race discrimination in all property dealings, with no exemptions.

5. At an association meeting a broker proposes that members stop offering compensation below a set figure. A licensee present should:Practice of Real Estate. Open choices and explanation.
  1. A.Wait to see whether other members agree
  2. B.Agree aloud but privately ignore the plan
  3. C.Stay silent, since someone else proposed it
  4. D.Object, leave, and have the exit recorded

Answer D: Object, leave, and have the exit recorded

Being present while competitors discuss fees can be evidence of joining the agreement, and silence reads as assent. The recognized response is to object audibly, leave at once, and make sure the minutes reflect the departure.

Why each choice works or fails

  • A. Waiting keeps the licensee in the room while an agreement forms.
  • B. Apparent agreement creates exposure no matter what the licensee does privately afterward.
  • C. Candidates think only the proposer is liable, but silent presence is commonly treated as participation.
  • D. Correct. Objecting, leaving, and documenting it breaks any inference of assent.

Rule to remember: If competitors raise fixing fees at a meeting, object, leave, and make sure your exit is recorded.

6. An agent describes a property as having the finest views in the county. This is best described as:Practice of Real Estate. Open choices and explanation.
  1. A.Negligent misrepresentation
  2. B.Puffing
  3. C.Fraud
  4. D.An express warranty

Answer B: Puffing

Puffing is exaggerated opinion that a reasonable buyer would not rely on as fact. "Finest views in the county" cannot be measured or proven, so it is sales talk. A statement becomes misrepresentation when it asserts a fact that turns out to be false.

Why each choice works or fails

  • A. Negligent misrepresentation needs a false statement of fact made carelessly. A subjective boast is not a statement of fact.
  • B. Correct. Exaggerated, unmeasurable opinion is puffing.
  • C. Fraud needs an intentional false statement of material fact, not an opinion.
  • D. Candidates think confident claims create guarantees, but a sales opinion from an agent is not a warranty.

Rule to remember: Opinion is puffing. A false statement of fact is misrepresentation.

7. An independent contractor licensee is MOST likely responsible for:Practice of Real Estate. Open choices and explanation.
  1. A.Paying business expenses and estimated taxes
  2. B.Paying payroll taxes for other agents
  3. C.Reconciling the brokerage trust account
  4. D.Supervising newly licensed agents

Answer A: Paying business expenses and estimated taxes

An independent contractor runs a business, so the licensee pays its expenses and makes estimated tax payments, since no taxes are withheld. Supervising licensees and controlling the trust account stay with the broker.

Why each choice works or fails

  • A. Correct. Business expenses and estimated tax payments come with contractor status.
  • B. Payroll obligations belong to the employer, and a contractor has none for other agents.
  • C. Candidates assume experienced agents share trust duties, but trust account control belongs to the broker.
  • D. Supervision of affiliated licensees is the broker's responsibility, not a fellow agent's.

Rule to remember: An independent contractor pays business expenses and estimated taxes. The broker keeps supervision and trust duties.

8. Which record BEST shows that a brokerage is properly handling money it holds for others?Practice of Real Estate. Open choices and explanation.
  1. A.A per-transaction ledger with running balances
  2. B.The trust account's monthly bank statement by itself
  3. C.A year-to-date summary of commissions the firm earned
  4. D.The check register for the firm's operating account

Answer A: A per-transaction ledger with running balances

An examiner wants to know whose money is in the trust account and how much. Only a per-transaction or per-client ledger answers that, and it is what gets reconciled against the bank statement.

Why each choice works or fails

  • A. Correct. A per-transaction ledger shows whose funds are held and in what amount.
  • B. Candidates trust the bank's record, but a statement shows one combined balance and cannot say whose money it is.
  • C. Commissions are the firm's own earnings and say nothing about funds held for others.
  • D. Operating funds belong to the firm, and trust money must be kept separate from them.

Rule to remember: Trust records must show, transaction by transaction, whose money is held and how much.

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?

  1. Score the set before opening notes.
  2. Explain the winning rule without repeating the answer choice.
  3. Classify every miss as knowledge, distinction, wording, math setup, or timing.
  4. Repair the weakest official area, then answer a fresh set on another day.
  5. 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.
