The Georgia Real Estate Exam Study Guide: All 14 Content Areas
The Georgia salesperson exam draws from 14 content areas: 11 on the 100-question national portion, each carrying a published percentage weight, and 3 on the 52-question Georgia portion, each carrying a scored-item count. Every area follows the same learning path: complete lesson, Georgia distinction, worked example, traps, original practice, explanations, mastery tracking, and the next lesson.
Facts checked against the current PSI Candidate Information Bulletin and GREC sources. Editorial standards.

3%How to use these weights
The weights tell you where the questions are, not where your gaps are. Those are different things, and confusing them is the most common study-planning error.
A candidate who is strong on Contracts should not spend more time there because it is 19% of the portion. The weight matters only in combination with your current accuracy: high weight plus low accuracy is where points are recovered fastest.
That is what a diagnostic gives you and a syllabus cannot. The free readiness check weighs your national, Georgia, and math accuracy and names the weakest one.
A note on the Georgia areas
The Georgia portion publishes scored-item counts rather than percentage weights. We print those counts as published and do not convert them into invented percentages or infer sub-topic weightings that the outline does not state.
The completion standard for every area
- Map the lesson to the exact PSI node and published weight or item count.
- Teach the complete principle in plain English.
- State the Georgia distinction, or say that none applies.
- Work a realistic scenario or calculation.
- Contrast plausible distractors and trap wording.
- Use original questions with explanations for every option.
- Track accuracy, confidence, attempts, error type, and review date.
- Recommend the next prerequisite or repair lesson.

What should I study first for the Georgia real estate exam?
Whatever a diagnostic says is weakest, not whatever comes first in your course notes. If you have no diagnostic yet, start with the Georgia areas. They are 52 of 152 questions and the part your course covered fastest.
How are the content areas weighted?
The 11 national areas carry published percentage weights of the 100-question portion. The 3 Georgia areas are expressed as scored-item counts totaling 52.
Should I study the national or Georgia portion first?
Georgia, if you are choosing arbitrarily. Most candidates arrive with more national exposure from their course and from generic prep material, and national-only prep does not cover the state portion.
