I failed the pre-licensing exam. Now what?
The Affiliate Broker and Broker examinations are divided into National and State sections. Candidates who pass one section but fail the other only need to retake the section they failed. The passing score for one section of an examination is valid for two (2) retakes of the failed section or six (6) months. Candidates may schedule to retake the exam 24 hours after the failed exam. Additionally, after a second failed attempt, candidates must wait thirty (30) days between subsequent failed exams to retake.
NOTE: These retake rules do not apply to the Timeshare Salesperson and Acquisition Agent exams. The Timeshare Salesperson and Acquisition Agent exams are one part. They must contact the timeshare that they are going to work for. The company will arrange any required retakes.
After I pass the required exams, how long do I have to apply for my license?
Candidates have 6 months from the day they pass their first exam to apply for their license (TCA 62-13-304). Applications can be done through CORE.
Are attorneys exempt from pre-license requirements?
No, an attorney must complete the same requirements as all other applicants.
If the attorney completed certain classes, these hours may be used to fulfill their education requirements for the Initial Affiliate license. The applicant will need to obtain a transcript from law school to provide to the Commission (Rule 1260-05-.03).
