The Georgia Real Estate Commission requires a proctored final exam for your licensing course. You will need to arrange for a proctor, who is someone who will make sure you take the test without outside assistance. Your exam must be proctored by a disinterested third party (a person who is at least 18 years old) with no financial or emotional interest in your passing the exam. Your supervisor, a subordinate, or a family member may not serve as your exam proctor. 

If you are unable to secure a disinterested third party to proctor your final exam, Kaplan offers Virtual Classroom Proctoring for a $29 per-session fee.  

All individuals applying for a broker position must have maintained an active license for a minimum of three (3) out of the last five (5) years before becoming eligible for licensing. If you have held an active license in Georgia for at least three (3) years and are currently enrolled in a Broker’s pre-license course at a Commission-approved school, your license history will be verified by the Commission when the school submits your electronic application.
