About the Georgia Real Estate Exam
The Georgia real estate salesperson exam is administered by PSI Services LLC under contract with the Georgia Real Estate Commission (GREC). Applicants must be 18, hold a high school diploma or equivalent, complete the 75-hour GREC-approved salesperson pre-license course, and provide a certified GCIC criminal history report no more than 60 days old. New salespersons must complete a 25-hour post-license course within one year of original license issuance (18 months if they qualify for the extension).
The exam combines national real estate content with a 52-question Georgia supplement: State Laws and Rules (16), Real Estate Practice in Georgia (21), and Finance and Closing (15). The PSI candidate bulletin gives the national portion only as topic percentages. Neither the bulletin nor Rule 520-1 publishes a numeric cut score or time limit in the sources we checked, so we do not quote one here. Confirm both in your PSI bulletin when you register.

What Makes the Georgia Exam Different
Dual agency requires written consent of all clients. A Georgia broker may act as a dual agent only with the written consent of all clients, must disclose adverse material facts actually known, and need not disclose information made confidential by request or instruction of another client (O.C.G.A. § 10-6A-12).
Stigmatized property. An owner, broker, or affiliated licensee has no duty to volunteer that a property was the site of a homicide, felony, suicide, or accidental or natural death, or had an occupant with a disease unlikely to be transmitted by occupancy. If the buyer asks, the answer must be truthful to the best of personal knowledge (O.C.G.A. § 44-1-16).
Trust accounts. Brokers must notify the Commission of each trust or escrow account's institution and name or number within one month of opening. Earnest money must be promptly deposited into a federally insured account unless the parties agree otherwise in writing (Ga. Comp. R. & Regs. 520-1-.08).
Commissions only through the broker. A licensee may not accept a commission or other valuable consideration from anyone other than the broker, and paying unlicensed persons for licensee services is also a ground for discipline (O.C.G.A. § 43-40-25).
Post-license and continuing education. A 25-hour post-license course is due within one year of original license issuance (18 months with the extension). Active license renewal needs 36 CE hours, including 3 on license law (Ga. Comp. R. & Regs. 520-1-.05).
Transfer tax. Georgia's real estate transfer tax is $1.00 for the first $1,000 of consideration and 10¢ for each additional $100 or fraction of $100 (O.C.G.A. § 48-6-1).

Study Tips for the Georgia Real Estate Exam
The Georgia supplement is 52 questions, and Real Estate Practice in Georgia (21) is the largest section, followed by State Laws and Rules (16) and Finance and Closing (15). The bulletin does not itemize topics within each section, so study Georgia license law, GREC rules, brokerage relationships, and closing practice broadly.
On the national side, Contracts (19%), Agency (13%), and Practice of Real Estate (12%) carry the most weight, followed by Financing (10%) and Property Ownership (10%).
Learn the rules that set Georgia apart: written consent for dual agency, the no-duty-to-volunteer rule for stigmatized property (but a truthful answer if asked), and the rules on commissions and trust accounts. Exam fees are non-refundable and are forfeited if you do not test within one year; there is no same-day retest, and next-day scheduling is subject to space.
