Hello everyone I just completed my online pre-license course and I plan on taking the course exit examination in 2 weeks. I was told that I should take the state exam within a week after the course exam, but unfortunately due to an incident that had happened a little under a year ago I now need to get the commissions approval for me to sit for the state test.

On average, how long does it usually take for the commission to send out a decision on whether I can sit for the test or not (specifically in Georgia). My course administrator allows pre-license material to be viewed for up to 90 days after the course has been completed. I'm thinking that from the day I pass the exit exam (cross my fingers) until I receive a decision, I will keep reviewing the information and possibly purchase exam booklets.

Any ideas would GREATLY be appreciated!

Why don't you just call them and ask how long the process normally takes or ask them where yours is in the process?

It depends on how truthful you are in FULL disclosure and the NATURE of the offense.Sometimes it can take a couple of months as they might require an fbi report as well.

During the waiting period study,study,study and kee things fresh in your mind.The state test will be different from your pre-liscense final.it would be a good idea to get the amp book from barnes and noble because it has alot of national questions seen on the test that you probably did not study in your pre-liscense tests.

Go ahead and work on getting the issue resolved now.You have to pass the pre-liscense final first before being scheduled for the state test so I would worry about that first.The downside to not have taken the live pre-liscense is the instructor can usually give students the red flags of the types of questions that are on the state test which is a huge help.good luck and no legal advice

One suggestion I would make is to sign up for the CRAM course sponsored by the GAMLS at the Atlanta Real Estate School. I took my course online and then sat through the two day cram course. I really think I could have just sat in the cram course and passed the state exam. It was that good of a course. Best of luck in getting everything straightened out.

I think calling them will be my best bet....just to see where things are.

As for how truthful I was with the full disclosure, no need to sugar coat the matter as I know they will have easy access to all information in regards to the situation. I put it in plain black and white...no strings attached at all.

Funny you should bring that up about the cram course Triton. A friend of mine did the same thing and said the same thing as well. If it's gonna take a little longer than expected, I would definitely do a cram course to freshen up.

In the mean time, I'm gonna keep reviewing so nothing gets fogged up. Thanks everyone!

Me too. The cram course was well worth it. Fast paced, not a lot of trivial questions allowed, very well organized. Highly recommend it.

Well in the letter I basically stated what occurred, the fact that I have satisfied what the court required me to do, and what I am doing to prevent another future occurrence. I also sent them certified copies of the citations and the sentence. Hopefully that will suffice.

Wow everyone is praising the cram course. I will definitely take it!!
