While Florida does not have reciprocity with any other state, it does have mutual recognition agreements with Alabama, Arkansas, Connecticut, Georgia, Illinois, Mississippi, and Nebraska. If you live in one of those states, you will more than likely not need to take the 63-hour class and will only need to sit for an abbreviated state exam. The mutual recognition Florida law exam is a 40-question test and you will need to score a grade of 75% or higher.

The Florida Real Estate Commission requires that students be present for 90% of the required instructional time. Students missing more that 10% of instructional time will need to make that time up or will be denied entry to the end-of-course exam.
Yes, all pre-license and post-license classes for sales associates and brokers have a requirement that you pass an end-of-course exam. The exam consisted of 100-multiple choice questions and you have 3-hours to complete the exam. If you don’t pass the end of course exam, you’ll have two options. The first option is to wait 30-days and take an alternate end of course exam. The second choice is to retake the class.
The state of Florida has contracted with PearsonVue testing centers to administer the state license exam. Once the state has processed and approved your license application, you’ll receive an email letting you know you are exam eligible. In that email there will be a link to schedule your state exam with PearsonVue. They have multiple locations throughout Central Florida including Orlando (near SeaWorld), Lake Mary, Lakeland, Daytona, and Melbourne. Additional testing centers are located throughout the state of Florida. We recommend you take the test as soon as possible and drive a little if you have to.
If you take the classroom course, pay attention, ask questions, and study, the test is easy. It’s only hard if you don’t know the material. If you do not pass the first time we recommend you take it again as soon as possible. You can request a print out of the break down of the questions per chapter and how you did answering them.
You are permitted to take the state exam as many times as you would like until you pass. If you fail the exam, you will be given the fail notice that includes the number of questions from each category that you got wrong. You’ll just need to wait until the next day for PearsonVue to mark you as “failed” in their system so that you can reschedule a new testing appointment. Don’t forget, each time you take the state exam there is a charge from the testing vendor.
You’ll need to bring the following three things with you when you go take your state exam:
- A current, valid, government issued photo ID card as well as a second form of identification like a passport or credit card.
- Your pass certificate from the real estate school indicating you passed the pre-license end of course exam.
- A calculator that is approved by the state of Florida for use during the exam.
Please note that you will not be able to bring any notes, a cell phone, watch, or anything else into the testing center. They will provide you will scratch paper to use during the exam. MAKE SURE YOU STUDY FOR A COUPLE DAYS BEFORE TAKING THE TEST!
