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

No. Before scheduling the Louisiana exam, you have to submit a Salesperson License Application Part A that requires proof of education. Without it, you won’t be approved to take the state exam.

While LREC doesn’t specify a timeline, it does indicate that for all applicants that it won’t accept any education courses older than five years.

PSI administers the LA salesperson pre-license exam. After submitting your Salesperson License Application Part A, the LREC will notify PSI when you are approved to take the exam. PSI will email you when you can schedule your exam. Visit http://www.psiexams.com/ or call (855) 579-4644.

Taking the Louisiana real estate salesperson license exam will cost $85, payable directly to PSI.

You will directly pay PSI, the state’s exam provider, using a credit card. PSI accepts Visa, Mastercard, American Express, or Discover cards. You can also mail a check, money order, or cashier’s check. Payment must be received in advance of the exam.

Once you’ve been approved, scheduling your exam is easiest by going online to http://www.psiexams.com/ or calling (855) 579-4644. Setting up a PSI website account takes eight steps. You can be registered and scheduled in under 15 minutes.

PSI offers computer testing centers in Baton Rouge, Lafayette, Lake Charles, Metairie, New Orleans, and Shreveport. For specific addresses or to find a test center near you, visit the PSI website.

If you’re not a candidate via reciprocity, then yes. The LREC may exempt you from the national portion of the test if you’ve taken it within the last five years. Otherwise, it requires you to take the exam even if you are licensed in another state.
