Can I schedule the KY exam without taking the pre-license course?

No, you'll need to take the Kentucky pre-licensing course before you schedule the exam. Part of your registration process is to input a registration code provided by your real estate school. Without this code, you can't register for the state exam.

Kentucky does not put a time limit between when you finish the pre-licensing education and when you can take your exam. However, it's a good idea to schedule your Kentucky licensing exam as soon as possible after finishing the course.

Online registration is the fastest and easiest way to schedule your exam. Go to the PSI website. Here you will create an account and enter your pre-license school code to schedule the exam.

The Kentucky salesperson exam costs $100. You pay the fee directly to psi, which accepts major credit cards for payment.

When scheduling the exam, you pay PSI, the state’s exam provider, using a credit card through the online portal. PSI accepts Visa, Mastercard, American Express, or Discover cards. Other registration options ask you to mail a check, money order, or cashier’s check. All payment must be received in advance of the exam.

Online registration is the fastest way to book your exam appointment. You can be registered within half an hour by going to the PSI website. The steps ask you to create an account, find an exam appointment and test center near you, and pay the exam fee.

PSI operates testing centers in Bowling Green, Lexington, Louisville, Maysville, Paducah, Somerset, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Columbus, Knoxville, and Nashville. Find the testing location addresses in the Candidate Handbook or online at the PSI website.

Yes, you will still be taking the state exam in most cases even if you are a real estate license holder in another state. You want to check to see if there is a reciprocity agreement with your particular state and what that means for your licensure process.

To change your Kentucky state licensing exam date or cancel altogether, you need to contact PSI at 855-746-8176 at least 48 hours before the scheduled appointment. If you fail to contact PSI before 48 hours, you will forfeit your exam fee.
