The Rule

PSI publishes 16, 21, and 15 items for the three Georgia groups. It does not publish a guaranteed subtopic count. The statute, current GREC rule, contract, or other cited primary authority controls each lesson.

Complete lesson

Read these concepts as one Georgia decision system. A plausible national rule can still be the wrong answer when the stem supplies a Georgia statute, instrument, role, or procedure.

Salesperson routes

A 75-hour approved course is the common route, but the bulletin also describes college, law-school, and other-jurisdiction alternatives with documentation.

Broker experience

Broker applicants need active-license experience for at least three of the preceding five years as well as an approved education route.

CAM route

CAM is a separate examination and education category. Its common prelicense course is 25 hours, with alternate routes listed by PSI.

Two fees

The July 1, 2026 bulletin lists a $175 examination fee and a $170 license fee. They are paid at different stages for different purposes.

Decision rule

Identify the requested license, then check education, experience, evidence, examination fee, and licensing fee as separate columns.

Georgia rule and national contrast

These hours, experience windows, routes, and fees come from the current Georgia program. Generic licensing advice from another state is not a valid substitute.

Worked Georgia example

Scenario. A salesperson candidate completed six qualifying semester hours at an accredited college and asks whether a 75-hour Georgia course is still mandatory.

Reason it through. The bulletin lists six semester hours of qualifying study as an alternate route, subject to transcript review and approval before scheduling.

Answer. The candidate may use the alternate route if the coursework and official transcript satisfy PSI's review.

Common exam traps

  • Treating the common course as the only route
  • Using inactive years for the broker experience test
  • Confusing the exam fee with the license fee
  • Quoting an old fee without an edition date

Original practice questions with detailed explanations

These are original instructional questions mapped to the July 1, 2026 PSI outline. They are not copied from PSI or a live examination. Choose an answer before opening the explanation.

Question 1

Which statement best states the Georgia rule for Georgia License Qualifications, Education Routes, Experience, and Fees?

  1. A. Separate eligibility for the examination, payment to PSI, application evidence, and payment for the license. Do not merge them into one requirement.
  2. B. Every salesperson applicant must take the 75-hour course with no alternative.
  3. C. Broker applicants need three years of any license status at any time.
  4. D. The examination fee automatically includes the original license fee.
Show answer and explanation →

Answer: A. Separate eligibility for the examination, payment to PSI, application evidence, and payment for the license. Do not merge them into one requirement.

The correct choice states the controlling rule. The other choices either remove a required element, replace Georgia authority with a generic assumption, or expand an exception beyond the cited source.

Question 2

A salesperson candidate completed six qualifying semester hours at an accredited college and asks whether a 75-hour Georgia course is still mandatory.

  1. A. Ignore the Georgia-specific fact because good intentions control.
  2. B. The candidate may use the alternate route if the coursework and official transcript satisfy PSI's review.
  3. C. Apply the nearest national rule without checking Georgia authority.
  4. D. Let the participant with the strongest preference decide without following the required process.
Show answer and explanation →

Answer: B. The candidate may use the alternate route if the coursework and official transcript satisfy PSI's review.

The bulletin lists six semester hours of qualifying study as an alternate route, subject to transcript review and approval before scheduling. The correct option follows that reasoning. The distractors ignore the controlling Georgia source, substitute intent for procedure, or give decision-making authority to the wrong person.

Question 3

When solving Georgia License Qualifications, Education Routes, Experience, and Fees, what should a candidate identify first?

  1. A. The answer choice that sounds most ethical, without classifying the actor or document.
  2. B. One familiar deadline, applied to every Georgia transaction regardless of the source.
  3. C. Identify the requested license, then check education, experience, evidence, examination fee, and licensing fee as separate columns.
  4. D. A national default, even when the stem identifies a Georgia statute or GREC rule.
Show answer and explanation →

Answer: C. Identify the requested license, then check education, experience, evidence, examination fee, and licensing fee as separate columns.

The decision rule identifies the facts that control this topic. The other choices reward tone, a memorized number, or a national default while skipping the Georgia actor, document, authority, or procedure.
